Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka

The pre-historic cave paintings depict life in the Neolithic age.

Reviewed By RoadTripLovers108

This is an awesome place for a day trip near Bhopal. There are some 15 caves with rock painting from various eras of human history. The view from the site is great and so is the drive up the hill. The place is very well organised and it ends up being a small hike around the hill as you tour through the caves.

Bhartrihari Caves

Reviewed By aghor01 - Washington Crossing, United States

Underground caves where Bhartrihari ji,Sri gorakh nath ji and many other great saints of Naath lineage prayed.Nice temples and you have to go underground for the caves.Be cautious as air is very stuffy underground.Even today you can feel the love of God in these great saints and get touched by them.
