As a proud Maharashtrian about ancient history, ever since I read about the Peshwe Bajirao, it created an extreme desire to visit the samadhi place of one of India's greatest warrior. I and one of my friends explored the nearby places of Raverkhedi on Google maps and found that it’s quite nearby to the Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar Jyotirlinga. I happened to visit the place on 30th Dec 2019, starting my journey from Indore by car. Firstly, we took darshan at both the Jyotirlinga’s and then proceeded to Raverkhedi via Sanawad and Beria. If you plan to visit the place from Mumbai or any other location in India, there are train routes up to Sanawad station. The distance is approximately 40-45 km from Omkareshwar and hence, one can cover all the three places in a day. Proper tar roads and periodic indicators about the Samadhi sthal help in getting to the place in a much better way. You may take help from locals if needed as they are completely aware of the place. The Samadhi place immediately captures attention and makes you wonder about the greatness of this remarkable general of the Maratha empire. Not only the Samadhi place but also the picturesque background with river Narmada flowing on either side and crop fields such as wheat, red chilies, chickpeas, etc. make up for a great location in terms of the natural aspects as well. Here are some of the clicks from my recent visit. Hope you enjoy visiting the place and let me know if you have any queries..!!

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.

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 :)

If you're visiting amarkantak, this is a goto place, Its situated behind the Narmada Temple, there are a number of temples and a surya kund. Wheelchair is available for senior citizens. One of the temples is locked and if you request the staff/guide he'll open it for you, you will find a shivling from which water from narmada and ganga flows together. If you like heritage sites and ancient architecture you'll love this. Parking is available outside.

It's Must Visit Location if you are in Orachha. It's part of Orachha Fort Complex itself & you don't need any extra ticket to visit this location in Orachha Fort. It's Good to have Local Guide to know the history brief if money is not a problem.

Reviewed By Adityasaraswat1801 - Navi Mumbai, India
This fort is amazing, it’s like a city in itself, I loved the fort immediately as it’s both unique as some of the parts of it are non glamourous like Devi Ahilyabai’s residence and seat from where she used to rule the kingdoms, And then when u move lower to the ghat section the imposing walls and the grand ghats along the banks of Narmada river are a site to look at, The fort has aesthetic as well as historic and religious value as there are a lot of historic temples in the fort area, everyone of them are unique in its story telling, The most ancient one being here Ravana had come to do his penance, that old, The fort also houses the famous Maheshwari handloom and sarees are made and sold here. Excellent for a two hour excursion.
