Kandariya Mahadev Temple

Reviewed By sleepytreakker - Jaipur, India

Such an amazing experience. The exterior structure of Kandariya Mahadev is based on a main tower (shikhara), the temple's highest point, which symbolizes Mount Kailash, Shiva's Himalayan mountain home. This main tower is surrounded by 84 smaller spires (urushringas). The whole building is made of sandstone, with a granite foundation.

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.

Gwalior Fort

Reviewed By ramyar2013 - Gwalior, India

The fort presides like a grand old lady over the city/town of Gwalior. Man Mandir is stunning, and a local guide (who charged a quaint fee of Rupees 611) had excellent stories to tell. Avoid the sound & light show, just take a guide for your visit!

Iam traveling for memories I do photography as well and so I am always in seek for good place. I am from Mumbai so me and my friends were searching over the weekend place to a visit. where I can practice photography and explore a new place. I was ready to explore MP i read that it have amazing monuments and rich culture.the forts are very much healthy and open for tourist with light shows. with good amount of research, we finally decided to visit Jhansi and orrccha which is in Madhyapradesh.place was historical rich and famous for food as well like gajak,jalebi,kachori etc. Traveling:The major railway station is Jhansi JHS which is big and famous railway station.city dont have airport yet but yes Gwalior is nearest airport situated 2 hrs away. stay:Its a famous and big railway stations so you have many hotels and hostels.I prefer to stay near orccha so thati can explore that for and temple in the evening.also i attended light and sound show. Attraction:so once you reach city then we have jhansi and orrcha to explore.orccha is 30 min away from city by bus\auto.sometimes share auto takes more time so just prefer direct auto.both locations you can travel normally dont go for one day tour it will cost more.places are nearby so you can manage.but if you want to mange all one one day they you should really hire something because its manageable to cover all in a day Orccha:The historic town of Orchha, nestled on the banks of river Betwa, was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap. Here, the river Betwa splits into seven channels, also called the Satdhara. Jahangir Mahal Ram Raja Temple Chhatris Chaturbhuja Temple Laxminarayan Temple Raj Mahal Food: SEESH MAHAL HOTEL is famous around Orccha also you will find many local hotels where on demand you will get served hot. expenses: This totally depends on you how you wanna travel.if you want to travel by local bus then its reasonable i did this in 1700 with food 2000 maybe because I am foodie :)

Sas-Bahu Temple

Reviewed By NomadicWanderr - Ghaziabad, India

Ok, so if you are in city and have gone to Fort, you would get tickets to visit this place. The actual name of this is Sahastrabahu temple. Made by king to please both his wife and mother. Apart of the building there is nothing left there. All the idols have been destroyed and even the face of God on the wall have been broken, The only left what you see if the remainings. How beautiful this place would have been, can only be imagined. Remember there are no idols and hence this is no more a temple. No prayers or offerings are done here.
