Participants will journey through the lush forests and rolling hills of the Satpura range—an area renowned for its rich flora and fauna—making it an ideal setting for ecotourism and adventure sports.

At the heart of the Forsyth Trail Run is Pachmarhi, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, celebrated for its mist-covered hills, cascading waterfalls, and ancient caves adorned with rock art dating back millennia. This breathtaking landscape forms the perfect backdrop for the event, which is deeply aligned with Madhya Pradesh’s efforts in promoting responsible tourism, sustainability, and community involvement. With the state setting new tourism records—attracting 112.1 million visitors in 2023, a threefold increase from 2022—the Forsyth Trail Run showcases Madhya Pradesh as an emerging hub for adventure and cultural tourism.

While the event caters to adventure-seekers, it also offers participants the opportunity to explore the state’s profound spiritual and cultural heritage. The trail runs near significant sites such as the Mahadeo Caves, Jata Shankar Temple, and Chauragarh Temple, each offering a unique spiritual experience that enriches the journey. These sacred destinations reinforce Madhya Pradesh’s status as a major pilgrimage center, where visitors can engage with timeless traditions and sacred rituals.

In addition to its spiritual significance, Madhya Pradesh is home to a wealth of archaeological and geological wonders. From the ancient cave paintings at Bhimbetka to the awe-inspiring heritage sites of Sanchi and the mystical temples of Ujjain, the state is a treasure trove for history buffs and explorers alike.

Renowned for being a clean, green, and safe destination—especially for solo travelers, including women—Madhya Pradesh ensures the Forsyth Trail Run upholds the highest safety standards while promoting eco-conscious practices throughout the event. By actively engaging local communities and championing sustainable tourism, the state sets a benchmark for responsible tourism in India.
