At a distance of 13 km from Pachmarhi Bus Station, Gupt Mahadev is another cave temple located in Mahadeo Hills of Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh. Situated near Bada Mahadev Cave, it is one of the ancient cave temples in Pachmarhi, and among the top attractions of Pachmarhi.

Gupt Mahadev is a 40 feet long cave dedicated to Lord Shiva. Snuggled cozily amidst the Mahadeo Hills, this temple houses a Shivalinga, and Lord Ganesha. With a Lord Hanuman Statue at the entrance, the path is narrow and meandering where only 7 to 8 people can get inside at a time. One has to literally squeeze or move sideways to go inside. The place is quite an interesting and mysterious spot near Pachmarhi where spirituality meets adventure.
