Important Note: If you visit this location, you'll find a serene lake view, but be aware that: - The area lacks maintenance. - No boating or other activities are available here. Alternative Option: For boating and other activities, head to Rajkamal Boating Center, located 13 km away from here. Avoid Confusion: Be cautious not to confuse this location with Rajkamal Boating Center, as we did, which led to an extra 13 km journey. Ideal for Nature Lovers: However, if you're seeking a peaceful, natural atmosphere, this spot is perfect for you.

Nice Place to Travel Different types of boating there Resorts for nashta and tea Single scooter boat structure need to improve

Nice place. I feel good and calm. Rainy season is best time for visit this place.

It is very good that half of it is attached to the wife and my bus, the rates here have gone up after a long time. Earlier the ticket was for 40 rupees, now it will be for 100 rupees.

Just an awesome spot for hangout with friends and family. Charges- Rs 100/person to get into the park/garden area close to the lake Rs 120/person boating Boating closed in rainy season In rainy season, the place is lush green, worth visiting.

This place has developed in last 2-3 years to such an extend. Earlier I was just a lake but now they have introduced water sports like boating, water speed bikes, family boats and paddling boats. Also there are good food serving hotel in the vicinity. You also get stay facilities in the range of 1000-2000 only which is really affordable. These people also offer get-together packages for families and corporates. Good view. Nice place to visit!

One of the huge lakes available in Maharashtra. Great view. Lot of resorts, boating and water sports facilities are available. U can also visit Ramtek Temple and nagardan fort from here.

On my way to Pench Tiger Reserve from Nagpur International Port, we passed through Ramtek and visited Ramtek Sriram Temple in mid September 2025 The temple is located in a fort at approximately 1500 ft and is a picturesque location with a large lake on one side and green hills and valleys on the other side. The temples located inside the fort complex are grand and spiritually elevating. You feel blessed. The fort also has an imposing structure with deep cliffs. The pathway to the temple is also comfortable. The only distraction disturbing the serenity of this beautiful place are too many shops especially eateries right up to the fort gate. Inside the fort complex there are monkeys which devotees feed with comfort. There is a proper assigned place inside the fort prior to temple main entrance for shoes but generally people step out their shoes at fort gate itself in a haphazard manner giving a discomfort picture to this beautiful location. This place really deserves a visit where it is believed that Lord Rama took 'Tek( Rest)' during his vanvaas or ' Tek ( Pledge)' to demolish demons disturbing the peace of the surrounding area.

What a breathtaking haven of tranquility at Ramtek Fort Temple! Nestled amidst majestic mountains and cradled by a shimmering lake, this place radiates serene vibes that soothe the soul. After exploring the sacred temple, dive into the exhilarating boat ride—it’s a burst of pure joy, gliding across crystal waters with stunning views all around. This vibrant blend of spiritual calm and natural splendor makes for an unforgettable, refreshing adventure!

Had a great experience visiting Shri Ram Temple & Fort in Ramtek. The temple is peaceful, and the view from the top is absolutely amazing. You can see the lakes and greenery all around. The climb is worth it, and the vibe inside the temple is very calming. The fort area and old stonework add a lot of character to the place. Definitely a good spot for a short trip or weekend outing.

It gets its name from Sri Ram of Ayodhya, who took a Tek or a Vow here to rid the earth of Asuras. It can also mean the place where he rested for a while during his southward journey. Earlier this hill was called Tapogiri, which literally means the hill of Tapas or the place where a lot of sages perform Tapas. You may think why only this place? Well, this is where Agastya Muni had an ashram and Sri Ram visited him during his 14-year exile. We know from Ramayana that during his journey through the forests of India, he killed many asuras. This relieved many sages and saints who used to have their ashrams in the deep forests.

The grand and ancient temples of Lord Shri Ram and Lakshman are very attractive. Their architecture and the carvings on them are also very beautiful. There is also a temple of Bajrang Bali here. The view of Ramtek city from the fort temple is very beautiful.

Divine stone architecture made by the Bhosales of Nagpur during their regime, this temple stands over the Ramtek fort at the very place where Lord ShreeRam, Sita Mata and Lord Lakshmana spent brief period of time during their 14 years of forest exile(vanvas). Reaching here is extremely easy from Nagpur Via AH 44 and NH 753 in about 1-1.5 hrs. You enter the beautiful gate of this temple at the foothill right on this highway. Go here to experience calm and composure of Lord ShreeRam in the very air. Stone temple and fort will amaze you in many ways. Few points to remember: • Generally not very crowded if you go early in morning. • Beware of the monkeys, they’ll snatch food from your hands. (Even Lotuses and garlands for god) • Do not click pictures inside the temple. • Don’t forget to eat- Kachha Chivada, Bor, etc. on your way down. • Please don’t dirty our heritage.

Visited during Dusshera. Privilege to look at shastra bhandar. Scenic location. Rich history about the Gadmandir.

Absolutely amazing experience.. Park was so beautiful and green. However did not see a Tiger but saw a Leopard.. Pench is the land of The Jungle Book and is famous for Mowgli and its Bagheera (Black Leopard). The black leopard is actually present in the Park but is very hard to spot… Amazing Pench!!!!

Pench National Park, located on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, is one of the most beautiful and wildlife-rich forests in India. I recently visited, and it was an unforgettable experience! The jungle safari through the dense forest was thrilling—we spotted deer, langurs, wild boars, and a variety of birds. Though we didn’t see a tiger, the excitement of the search was worth it! The park is well-organized with trained guides and naturalists who share interesting facts about flora and fauna. The landscape is straight out of a nature documentary, with open meadows, teak forests, and riverbanks. This park is also known for inspiring Rudyard Kipling’s "The Jungle Book", which makes it even more special for literature and wildlife lovers. Facilities at the entry gates are good, and there are plenty of eco-resorts nearby. Perfect for families, photographers, adventure seekers, and nature lovers. Highly recommended for a peaceful and adventurous wildlife getaway in central India.

Entered from Turia Gate. Safari Starts at 6.45 AM after official formalities. The Safari lasts for about 4.30 hours. There are several interesting points near the Pench river. Scenery is eyegasmic. Many birds. If you are after Tiger Sighting ONLY, you may be disappointed. But if tiger is just one of the options and you are willing to enjoy every bit of jungle, then you will be a satisfied visitor. There is one ALIKATTAS restaurant which serves Aloo bonda for ₹20 each and Tea ₹25. This basically provides a place to have your own breakfast and use washroom. I saw regular animals like dear, jackals, Peacocks etc. But I enjoyed the scenery, the birds chirping etc.

Pench National Park – Where Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Roars to Life Ah, Pench! Not just a national park, but a real-life, roarin’, prowlin’, leaf-cracklin’ tribute to The Jungle Book. Located on the southern edge of Madhya Pradesh (and spilling charmingly into Maharashtra like a leopard crossing state lines), the Pench National Park is where Mowgli may not greet you personally, but the whispers of Shere Khan and Baloo are very much alive in the breeze. Into the Heart of the Jungle…Literally This park, covering over 750 square kilometers, is named after the Pench River, which snakes its way through the park like nature’s own zipline. It’s an absolute stunner of a landscape — rolling hills, open meadows, teak forests, and plenty of water bodies where animals gather like it’s Saturday night at the jungle pub. But let’s get to the main event — the Big Cat. Pench is tiger territory, and while spotting one is never guaranteed (they’re not exactly into scheduled performances), your chances here are delightfully high. Add to that a supporting cast of leopards, wild dogs (dholes), gaurs, jackals, sloth bears, and over 285 species of birds — and you’ve got yourself an animal kingdom that's part documentary, part safari thriller. Did You Know? * BBC’s “Spy in the Jungle” was filmed here using hidden cameras and elephant-cams to give us intimate glimpses into tiger cub lives. * Pench inspired Rudyard Kipling’s "The Jungle Book", though technically he never visited it. But let’s not ruin the magic. * It’s a part of India’s famed Project Tiger since 1992 and is now one of the most successful tiger habitats in central India. Wild Review: The jeep safari? Bumpy but thrilling. The guides? Encyclopedias with binoculars. The forest? Whispers, roars, and sudden rustles. The tiger? Well, let’s just say he knows you're there... even if you don’t spot him. And when you do, trust me, you forget to blink. Pench is where you don’t just watch nature — you feel stalked by it, in the best possible way. A must-visit if you like your holidays with a side of adrenaline and a soundtrack of cicadas and growls.

Not a single tiger seen but saw a leopard.. we stayed in Government guest house service was good and food is also tasty..

Into the Wild – My First Jungle Safari Experience Let me take you on a journey—not just any trip, but a dive into a completely different world. A world where humans are only guests, and the jungle rules in all its raw, untamed glory. This was my very first experience witnessing wild animals in their own home—the dense, mysterious jungle. Our group of 10 adventurers set out from Mumbai towards Nagpur, eager and curious. Three safaris awaited us: one through the lush greens of Turiya Gate (nestled on the Madhya Pradesh-Maharashtra border) and two more via Khursapar Gate in Maharashtra. These two gates may belong to different states, but they open into the same vast stretch of wilderness—untouched, majestic, and brimming with life. Our first safari was in the late afternoon—anticipation ran high, eyes scanning every rustle in the bush. While tigers played hide-and-seek, revealing only glimpses of their tails and backs through our binoculars, we were still enchanted by other creatures: elegant deer prancing through the foliage, curious langurs leaping between branches, the powerful Indian Gaur, and a stately Sambhar deer, quietly grazing. Some moments were too distant for our cameras, but vivid in our minds. As we divided into two gypsies—five explorers each—our convoys merged with a line of others at the gate, engines humming with excitement. A safari typically lasts 3–4 hours in the afternoon and up to 5 in the cool stillness of early morning. And let me tell you: patience is your greatest ally here. While deer and langurs greet you early, spotting a tiger is a true test of will—and luck. Our second safari began in the magical hush of dawn. At 5:30 AM, we set off toward Khursapar Gate. After over two hours of searching and holding our breath at every sound, we spotted a tiger’s face—but once again, it was only through our binoculars, far away and teasingly brief. But then came the third safari—the one that turned everything around. At 3 PM, as the golden light of afternoon began to spill through the canopy, we returned to Khursapar. There, by an artificial water pond, she waited—Tigress B2. Majestic, calm, and powerful. As if that wasn’t enough, her cubs began to appear one by one, walking slowly toward her. We didn’t need binoculars this time—this was up close, heart-pounding, eyes-wide-open magic. We watched, awestruck, as all five tigers—mother and her four cubs—chilled in the water, basking in the sun like royalty. As sunset approached, they began to move—time to head home. And just then, right near our path, they crossed the jungle road in front of us. That moment—five wild tigers walking into the twilight, just meters away—was the closest, most thrilling encounter I’ve ever had. Our guide quickly fired a burst of shots, capturing what felt like a once-in-a-lifetime scene. In our earlier safaris, we followed fresh tiger paw prints, reading the jungle like a storybook written in dust and leaves. We also learned to trust the jungle’s own warning system—sharp alarm calls by deer and monkeys that signalled a tiger’s presence. It was wild intuition at work, and our guide explained it all with wonder and respect. And yes—we even paused mid-safari for breakfast under towering trees, sipping hot tea as the forest whispered around us. That’s something no five-star hotel can ever match. Thinking of Going on a Safari? Here’s What You Need to Know: • Book in advance, especially in summer (or post-monsoon October)—your chances of spotting tigers are much higher. • Bring a DSLR or long-range camera—some gates like Khursapar don’t allow phones out during the safari (they’ll be locked until you return). • Rent binoculars—they’re game-changers for distant sightings and are available at the gate. • Go for at least 3 safaris—don’t put all your hopes in just one! • Avoid plastic—only glass or steel bottles are allowed inside. Most hotels provide this. If the jungle calls you, don’t ignore it.

Not at all recommended for this place. And Better book offline, For Permit pricing is 1200 Guide 480 And Vehicle charges it is 3000 , Total 4700 for 6 people. If u book online it is 7500 and weekends it is 8500. Even after paying all this , U barely see Deers that's it.... And visible Tigers will be 3 and that to depends on luck people say. And all u can see dried Trees... I definitely recommend not to visit this place.

Dhupgarh (Dhoopgarh), Pachmarhi’s highest peak and the best spot for sunrise and sunset views in Madhya Pradesh. Surrounded by the lush Satpura hills, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of valleys, cliffs, and dense forests. Many visitors consider it the most beautiful point in Pachmarhi. Entry is only allowed through gypsy/jeep rides booked from Bison Lodge Museum, as private vehicles aren’t permitted. The ride itself is scenic and adventurous. Once at the top, there are two main viewpoints—Sunrise Point and Sunset Point. Sunset is especially popular, when the sky glows with golden and orange hues over the green valleys. The place is calm, refreshing, and ideal for photography or simply soaking in the natural beauty. Monsoon adds misty charm with clouds floating around, though sometimes it blocks the view. Carry water and light snacks, as there are no shops at the top, and be careful of monkeys. Overall, Dhupgarh is a must-visit attraction in Pachmarhi—peaceful, picturesque, and unforgettable. The combination of cool breeze, endless greenery, and dramatic skies makes it perfect for nature lovers. Tip: Visit around 5 PM for sunset or early morning for sunrise. Duration: ~2–3 hours.

Dhupgarh offers a beautiful view, especially during sunset 🌇. It’s best to visit during rainy season or clear sky days for the perfect sunset view. The place is becoming a bit overcrowded now 🤏, but still worth visiting for the amazing scenery and peaceful vibes.

1.Drive to dhoopgarh is breathtaking and you have to cross the whole forest. Trip Duration (Including Travel) is 2 Hours 2.It can only be reached b Gypsy from Bison Lodge. Personal vehicle is not allowed. 3.It has breathtaking views and one can spend 2-3hrs. Best time to reach is after 5PM. 4.Both the sunrise and sunset spots were visited. 5.The sunrise views have been stopped to avoid animals being disturbed 6.The Dhoopgarh museum is also nicely maintained. 7.Dhoopgarh, originally known as Harvatsa Kot, is the tallest peak of Madhya Pradesh, and so they give undoubtedly the best views of the entire town of Pachmarhi along with the surrounding lesser Satpura ranges and Vindhya range. 8.Timings: 6 AM - 6 PM 9.Trip Duration (Including Travel): 2 Hours 10.Guide told us not to eat anything as monkeys can attack to get your food.

Best time to visit this place at the time of sunset. The views here are very mesmerizing with soothing winds and very calm.

A must visit place if you're in Pachhmari. It's at the height of 4420ft from the sea level. The views from here are mesmerizing. You don't need to climb here, the safari vehicle (you have to book it from Bison lodge) will take you to the top and then you can roam around and have some pictures. While going up, you'll find an echo point where you can scream your name and in return you'll hear the same echo. Overall it's worth visiting. Note: People generally come here in the evening but I suggest you to cover this spot during the day itself (If you need to leave at the evening time for your home). Because, the rush in the evening is very high. Sunset, you can cover in the Pandav Caves. (Ask your driver for more information)

is the highest peak of the Satpura hill range and the view from the top can leave you awestruck. From the spiritual surroundings to the top view of the meandering streams, the peak offers views of the lesser Satpura ranges and Vindhya range. The rough scarps along with ravines and clefts give this plateau a heavenly look and this peak is still lesser-known among the many Pachmarhi tourist places. The serene ecosystem and the Dhupgarh Fall are few of the main attraction here.

We considered going here out of utter devotion and believe me it gives nothing less. The place is hauntingly beautiful, surrounded by serene huge mountains and quite a walk of like a kms. Up and down the hill. Just before reaching the place of worship there are quite many stairs to go down. So beautiful careful with elders and kids there. Easy to get lost so do move in groups together. They have good parking space around so not an issue there.

The Jatashankara temple, located deep inside the Panchmari Tiger Reserve, is one of the most fascinating and spiritually significant places I have ever visited. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and holds many mythological stories and local beliefs that make it truly special. To reach the temple, one has to descend many stairs, as the temple lies within a natural cave, embraced by rocky hills and flowing spring water. The atmosphere inside is cool, calm and naturally wet, giving it a very peaceful and spiritual feel. Around the temple, you'll find many small shops selling Ayurvedic products, including Shilajit and local herbs. However, I personally chose not to buy them, as I wasn't sure about their authenticity. A fun fact -- if you climb those stairs daily, you'll surely loose weight and body pain, thanks to the steep descent and ascent ! Overall, Jatashankar Temple is must-visit spot in Panchmari for both devotees and nature lovers. The combination of mythology, natural beauty and spiritual peace makes it truly unforgettable experience.

Beautiful natural place surrounded by rocks and greenery. The steps down to the temple let you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the wonders of nature. A must-visit for nature lovers!

One of the main tourist points of Panchmarhi, a must visit. Also it is advisable to hire a guide here ( Charges ₹150-200 for a group), as the guide will tell you the story of the place and will also show u many hidden beauties of the place, which one may miss without someone's guidance. Further itvis advisable to not take small kids / Senior citizens and people with some serious health ailments as one has to go deep inside the valley crossing a long path and 150 steps and then come back. Ultimate beautiful natural place with many stories attached. Please visit.

Jatashankar Temple, Pachmarhi, is a serene and spiritual destination nestled within a natural cave, approximately 1.5 km from the main bus stand.

Bee Fall in Pachmarhi is a must-visit spot! The natural beauty, refreshing water, and peaceful surroundings make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Bee Fall Waterfall is truly mesmerizing. The sound of flowing water, lush greenery, and cool atmosphere create an unforgettable experience.

Crystal-clear water, natural charm, and the sound of the waterfall made it a magical experience. A perfect escape into nature’s lap.

In the midst of nature there lies this fall with immense natural beauty. Although not advisable for very small kids, Senior citizens and heart patients, as there are 400+ steps ro reach there and then come back. Be careful of monkeys and Bees ( rare instances). When u go down and i witness the flowing water in the lap of nature, it's a worth visit.

How to reach- buy advanced ticket and jipsy to reach there. With personal vehicle you have to park it and around 2km journey to be done by walk only. As Name bee fall came from there is huge amount of honey bee comb on trees around the waterfall. But the catch is that they didn’t harm to anyone. Better to visit in monsoon to get huge volume of water there. Greenery and vibes are strong. Don’t forgot to eat mangoes if going by walk in season. I went by walk which was great experience compare to jipsy guys.

Very beautiful waterfall with breathtaking views. It is a home to many varieties of birds and fishes too. You can have a fish spa free of cost here, in fully natural habitat. The waterfall is around 150 feet high and the fresh air has no comparison. It is one of the most beautiful places in Pachmarhi .

Bee Falls (Jamuna Prapat) – Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh Overview: Bee Falls, also known locally as Jamuna Prapat, is one of the most popular and scenic waterfalls in Pachmarhi, often called the “Queen of Satpura.” The falls cascade down from about 35 meters (115 feet), creating a refreshing natural pool below — a favorite spot for tourists to bathe or simply enjoy the misty surroundings.

The height of this waterfall is about 150 feet. It is also known as Jamuna Prapat. It gives a feel of Milky Way when water comes down. It is one of the most spectacular water falls of Pachmarhi. No visitor can resist the temptation of the taking a bath in B Fall. Bathing pools here are very popular among the tourist of all age groups. A spectacular fall in the stream which provides drinking water to Pachmarhi. The bathing pools above the fall are very popular. Bee Falls, popularly known as Jamuna Prapat, is a beautiful waterfall that provides drinking water to Pachmarhi. It is one of the most scenic waterfalls of the town that flows into the valley, making a tranquillising sound. Tourists frequently visit the bathing pool, which is situated above the falls.

I prefer the smaller waterfall before the main one, as it’s less crowded and much quieter. The main waterfall, on the other hand, tends to be overwhelmed with visitors, some of whom even bathe with soap and doing risky things which will cost their life. There was only one food stall available, and I noticed a lot of monkeys around. It's important to be cautious when eating, as they can easily snatch food right out of your hands.

Bhedaghat near Jabalpur is truly nature’s masterpiece the towering Marble Rocks on both sides of the Narmada River look breathtaking, especially during sunrise, sunset, or full moon nights. The Dhuandhar Falls add to the charm with their thunderous roar and misty spray. A boat ride here is the highlight rowboats glide quietly through the marble gorge, giving you time to soak in the beauty and hear local guides’ stories. The place is well-connected, just 30–40 mins from Jabalpur by taxi or bus.

Checked out Dhuandhar Waterfall in Jabalpur, and honestly, it’s one of those places that hits you with nature’s raw power. The roar of the water and the mist floating in the air make it feel like the whole place is alive. You’ll probably end up drenched and grinning — totally worth it. The view from the marble rocks is killer, especially if you catch the sunset. It can get a little crowded and could use some upkeep, but once you see that waterfall in full flow, you stop caring about everything else. Pure Jabalpur magic.

It's a wonderful fall and a natural beauty,, very wide range fall with lovely sound,, it's coming from MA NARMADA RIVER, and it's scenic,, must visit, one can buy all exclusive marble suviniour and jewellery craft and painting done on marble,,, reasonable price I would say it's Niagara falls of india,,,

Due to the incessant rains the water level has increased and you can't see the waterfalls properly. But still you should visit this place. Its majestic.

Mesmerizing place. Try to come on weekdays or morning for better view. Negotiate with shopkeepers if buying something. No need to take a guide. Way has slopes and stairs, but manageable. Bring a bottle from home if you want to fill Narmada water.

We had been to this water fall during our return journey towards Pune from Maha Kumbh mela. One of our friend knows about this location, so he suggested to take halt at Jabalpur in the night and then we visited this waterfall next day morning. The Dhuandhar falls is located on the Narmada River at Bhedaghat at 30 meters high and 30km away from the city. The Narmada River, making its way through the Marble rocks narrows down and then plunges into a waterfall. Viewing platforms have been constructed along the side to facilitate proper views. Interesting Facts about this waterfall: 1.The name of this waterfall is derived from two Hindi words "Dhuan" and "Dhar". Dhuan means smoke, the mist created by water falling on hard rock creates visuals of smoke emanating from the river bed and hence it is called Dhuandhar or Smoke Cascade. Dhar means falling down, the white water pummels down to form a gorge known as the Marble Rocks. 2. Beauty of this Water fall is the plunge, which creates a bouncing mass of mist, is so powerful that its roar can be heard from a far distance. another good thing is that we can see the beauty of water over Cable car which connected from East bank to West Bank of the Narmada River. Rope Car crosses the river and then drops tourists off at the west bank of the river. 3. Visitors can take boat ride on the river to visit nearby marble rocks. These rocks are a unique geological formation with a series of marble cliffs rising from the river. This waterfall is often referred to as the Niagara Falls of India because of the speed with which the water falls down. 4. This tourist site is most crowded during the Narmada Mahotsav where people from across the country visit the Jabalpur district to celebrate the festival grandly beside the Dhuandhar, under the full moonlight.

A must-visit waterfall in Jabalpur. The water falls down with so much force that it creates a mist like smoke (hence the name 'Dhuandhar'). The area is well-maintained with proper fencing. There’s no trek involved here — you can directly walk from the parking area to the viewpoint in about 3 minutes. Parking is available at ₹20 for two-wheelers. No entry ticket needed. Ropeway facility is available here for ₹100 per person one way. Visit during monsoon or right after for the best water flow. Avoid weekends if you don’t like crowds.

Wonderful experience to behold the marble rocks of all hues and colours. However the boating experience needs attention by the authorities so far as the passenger safety is concerned.

I heard about this in my childhood textbook. In textbook, author describe about their experience on Full Moon night. This time we visited at broad Daylight, but it is marvelous to observe around 100 feet high marble rockline while boating through Mata Narmada River from Bhedaghat at Jabalpur. I will visit again to experience it on Full Moon Night.

Boating is amazing. They will ask you to pay more for going far once you reach the Bhoolbhulaiya point. If you want you can try, it has better rocks. Or else till Bhoolbhulaiya point also it is good. Many movie shootings have happened here. Try to take the motor boat as they can take you much deeper.

The Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat are stunning tall white cliffs rising on both sides of the Narmada, best seen on a peaceful rowboat ride. Sunset or full-moon boat rides are magical, and Dhuandhar Falls nearby make the trip complete.

Picturesque location, pristine beauty a must visit place. Take a ropeway on the other side of the location take nano safari or walk for 2 km you will reach to this view point. This is roaring Narmada

Nice experience especially the boating there... Rocks are good as in photo. Guide was good explained it in a fun filled manner

This waterfall is so beautiful that it is the best waterfall of India and it is a marble waterfall. The Narmada river is flowing through this waterfall and this Narmada river itself is one of the most beautiful rivers of this country and when you come to this waterfall, it will seem that the Niagara falls will make a sound exactly like it. Its chitons will come on you from far away and it will seem that you are in heaven. You are not going to feel better than this anywhere else, so definitely come to this place. Sit here and enjoy this place and eat good food. There are many photo sessions here because this waterfall is very close. It will be. You can touch it now if you feel like it or click a lot of photos.

Highly underrated place. Its so pretty with thoughtful architecture. On the banks of Betwa river. Its very well lit in evening and a sight to see.

The Royal Chhatris in Jhansi offer a serene and picturesque setting, with beautifully carved cenotaphs standing gracefully along the Betwa river. The area is well-maintained and clean, making it a peaceful spot to relax, spend time, and capture stunning, photogenic views.

>Located on the bank of Betwa river. Visited in early months of January. It was decently cold. >It is 15-20 minutes walking from Orchha fort entrance and about 10-15 minutes walking from Chhatarbhuj temple. E-rickshaws and auto are also available if required. >Cenotaphs themselves do not require much time. It is a serene and peaceful place with lawns and gardens and benches to sit on. It is also a protected place for vulture breeding so if lucky you might spot them (also in other parts of Orchha). >There is a small boulder bridge built over Betwa river stream some distance from these cenotaphs from where you can capture the river and chhatris (preferably in evening), I was there around 3PM so it still looked good but not capturable. >It is present right next to the bank, hence if you want to take a dip in the river carry some extra light clothes with you. >You can also bring food and a carpet as you will find other people also having picnic around the ghat. But be mindful of the waste you produce keep the place clean. >On the ghat itself you will find various activities happening such as horse and camel riding, tattoo making, basic jewellery, sports for kids etc. >There are several small eateries around these Chhatris, also a washroom near the entrance. But still the number of available and clean washrooms are less (which is a general problem across Orchha city). You might want to keep sanitizer, paper soap, seat cover etc handy if any emergency strikes.

The Royal Chhatris of Orchha are a mesmerizing sight, well worth visiting for history and architecture lovers. These cenotaphs, built in honor of Bundela rulers, are beautifully maintained, standing tall along the serene Betwa River.

Jahangir Mahal in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh, stands as a breathtaking testament to the confluence of Mughal and Bundela architectural brilliance, situated within the historic fort complex overlooking the serene Betwa River. This palace was built in the early 17th century by Raja Bir Singh Deo, as a grand gesture to honor Mughal Emperor Jahangir, commemorating his visit to Orchha. Despite its monumental scale and opulence, legend has it that Jahangir stayed here for just one night, a fleeting visit that belies the palace’s enduring legacy. The structure is a harmonious blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles, evident in its ornate domes, chhatris, and intricate latticework. The eastern entrance, adorned with turquoise tiles and flanked by stone elephants with bells dangling from their trunks, sets the tone for the grandeur within.

The Gavaksh balconies, typical of Rajput architecture, add a touch of elegance, while the deities of the eight cardinal directions, carved into the domes, reflect the spiritual undertones of the design. Today, Jahangir Mahal is a cornerstone of Orchha’s heritage tourism, meticulously preserved by the Madhya Pradesh Archaeology Department. Visitors can explore its labyrinthine passages, climb narrow staircases to hidden terraces, and imagine the palace’s heyday when it buzzed with royal intrigue. The adjacent Sheesh Mahal, now a heritage hotel, and the nearby Raj Mahal further enrich the historical tapestry of the site.

Its grand design, intricate carvings, and breathtaking views of the Betwa River make it a highlight of Orchha. A must-visit for anyone who loves history and heritage.

This palace is situated in Orchha which is very huge and beautiful. The architecture of this palace is also unique.

Madhya Pradesh's Jahangir Mahal is a rare fusion of Mughal-Rajput architecture that had mesmerized me to the core. After covering the Orchha Fort, you can step into this grand palace with the same ticket 🎟️ that you purchased for the fort. Once I entered the palace complex, I was absolutely stunned to witness the imposing, royal architecture. Jahangir Mahal consists of several rooms, secret chambers, narrow stairways and large open verandahs. Beware, most of these balconies have no protection and the height is considerably risky. Registered tour guides are available at this place and tourists (especially foreigners) can opt for them. Do take a look at the videos I shot. Highly recommended to visit!☺️🧡

Place is not well maintained, Pan Masala spitting in every corners, some security persons themselves spitting inside and throwing empty bottles in valley side. Senior ppl should avoid top floor, it's stairs are risky for them during climb down.

It's big fortified palace of Mughal King Jahangir. There are steep staircases and maze like situations but not a labyrinth in any means. Despite its old age, many residues of the palace in its prime time is visible, like the blue tiles work and ventilation systems.

Great place with not so mainstream tourist attractions. Ram Darbaar (Not mandir) one need to learn these nuanced understanding of indian society to know it better. Than Jahangir Mahal (The very Idea of Friendship) Raja Mahal, Rani Mahal, Chaturbhuj Mandir and most importantly the Laxmi Mandir, 1 km from Ram Darbaar. Chhtari and Betwa river ghat. All it takes one day which is worth exploring. Not very far from main City Jhansi.

Visiting Orchha Fort is like stepping back in time. The fort complex is incredibly well-preserved and filled with history, from majestic palaces and intricate temples to hidden courtyards and stunning wall paintings. The atmosphere is peaceful and almost magical — far less crowded than many other historical sites in India, which makes it even more special. Every corner tells a story of the Bundela dynasty and their rich heritage. Standing on the terraces, you get breathtaking views of the Betwa River and the surrounding town. Truly a place where history, architecture, and serenity meet.

A majestic fort complex that truly brings Bundela history to life! 🏰 The architecture is stunning — especially Raja Mahal and Jahangir Mahal, both offer breathtaking views of the Betwa River 🌊. The murals and wall paintings are well preserved and worth taking time to admire. The best time to visit is early morning or during sunset — the lighting makes the fort glow beautifully. Clean surroundings, good maintenance, and peaceful atmosphere. You’ll easily spend 2–3 hours exploring and taking photos. 📸 Highly recommended for history lovers and photographers!

Wonderful ancient marvel. Reflect the legacy of Bundela rulers. You can visit place at winter and monsoon, summer is not advicable. The different part of fort was constructed by many bundela rules at there respective time periode which will be easy explained by local guide. Also the stairs of fort are really challenging for the person who have problem in leg. People can also visit many other location near fort like Chaturbhuj temple, Ram raja temple etc.

This is one of the important monument of great significance when it comes to Bundelkhand history. The fort is divided into different sections or mahals built by the lineage of Kings ruling Bundelkhand with Orchha as its capital. The fort closes at 6 pm with only light/sound show access post 6 pm. The fort insides does provide visitors with some good clicks with a great sunset view. The palace has been carved beautifully and you should not miss the inner dark rooms in the palace (you need to put extra efforts to go deep into dark) where carvings of different episodes within Hindu mythology depicting Hindy gods and goddesses are present. It usually takes around 2 hours to view all the buildings/room within the palace with Jehangir palace situated in the same campus of the fort. The light/sound show was very average with no clear sound of commentary audible to the visitors due to some of the broken speakers. However, the content of the show does provide you with some good insights and I would recommend you to go for the Hindi show just in case if you wish to hear all about the Bundelkhand kingdom and its rulers (we went for English show and the expressions sounded real funny and did not give the real dialogues or that feel of Indian rulers' conversations.

Cery big and ancient history. The Orchha Fort complex was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput chief Rudra Pratap Singh. The fort's palaces and temples were built over many years by successive rulers, showcasing a blend of Rajput and Mughal architectural styles. Located on an island in the Betwa River, the fortified site served as the capital of the Bundela kingdom for centuries. Founding and early development Rudra Pratap Singh (r. 1501–1531): The first king of Orchha, Rudra Pratap Singh, founded the town and began construction on the fort complex. He established the new capital on an easily defensible site after moving it from Garh Kundar. He died the same year the capital was moved, before the project was completed. Bharti Chand (r. 1531–1554): Rudra Pratap's son, Bharti Chand, completed the fortification and made the move to Orchha official. The rugged location and thick jungle made the town virtually impenetrable. Madhukar Shah (r. 1554–1591): Bharti Chand's brother, Madhukar Shah, oversaw the construction of the Raja Mahal (or Raja Mandir) palace, which served as the royal residence. Bir Singh Deo and Mughal relations Bir Singh Deo (r. 1605–1627): One of the most powerful Bundela rulers, Bir Singh Deo, was a prolific builder. He came to power after assassinating the Mughal historian Abul Fazl at the suggestion of Prince Salim, who later became Emperor Jahangir. Jahangir Mahal: As a gesture of loyalty, Bir Singh Deo constructed the magnificent Jahangir Mahal to host Emperor Jahangir. The palace is an iconic example of the Indo-Islamic architectural style that flourished during his reign. Decline of the kingdom Mughal conquest: Despite the close relationship forged by Bir Singh Deo, Orchha was eventually conquered by the Mughals. In 1635, Emperor Shah Jahan's forces invaded and annexed the kingdom after a rebellion led by Bir Singh Deo's son, Jhujhar Singh. The Bundela kingdom was reduced to a vassal state, and its authority was permanently undermined. Later rulers: Though later rulers added some structures, the city's architecture was largely frozen in time after the 17th century. Modern legacy Today, the Orchha Fort complex is a major tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its palaces, temples, and cenotaphs stand as a testament to the Bundela dynasty's glorious and turbulent history

Worth the visit, the Jahangir palace in general. Great craftsmanship. One can see the other nearby temples from the top of this fort. Guide is not really a necessity but helpfull.

Datia Palace of King Veer Singh is absolutely stunning. Not sure why it is not promoted more. It's huge and takes time to explore. Wish there were guides to explain more on the history.

Datia Fort (Datia Palace) is a hidden gem for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and those seeking a unique, off-the-beaten-path historical experience. Its architectural brilliance, intriguing history of being largely uninhabited, and the panoramic views it offers make it a truly memorable destination in Madhya Pradesh. It's a testament to the grandeur and artistic prowess of the Bundela rulers and provides a captivating glimpse into India's rich past.

Though not so well known it is a very nice place. Way to reach the palace was also not good. Ticket price for entry was reasonable. But guide charged Rs500. So we did not take a guide. The ground floors were bit dark. But the main palace area was very nice. Renovation work was in progress.

Discovering the gem of Bundelas is an adventure in itself. The narrow, rustic road, with cows ambling and potholes aplenty, might not prepare you for the breathtaking splendor of this eight-floored palace. Surprisingly, it was built but never inhabited. Navigating through the palace, adorned with mesmerizing wall paintings and intricate meenakari work, is like stepping into a different era. However, the maze-like structure can be disorienting, especially without a guide or fellow travelers. Traveling alone, as I did, made it a bit challenging to find my way out, with similar-looking doors leading to dead ends. The palace, though silent in terms of occupancy, speaks volumes through its art and architecture. Why visit? To witness a grand palace that diverges from the Rajput or Islamic styles, offering a unique historical perspective. However, if Indian medieval history doesn't captivate you, or if you're not a fan of sharing space with a bat family, this might not be your ideal destination.

Situated approximately 70 kms away from Gwalior. This palace is a perfect representation of Rajput and Mughal architecture, its a 7 storyed structure with some very beautiful blend of artistic ceiling and carvings. Highly recommended

The gem of Bundelas.. The narrow rustic road filled with cows and potholes doesn't make you ready to see the breathtaking magnificence of this palace. Hard to digest this 8floored palace was built but never lived. The yet there wall paintings, the meenakari work leaves you spellbound. It's easy to get lost if you are not with a guide or other travellers. So make sure you are not travelling here alone, as I was. It took me quite a long time to get out of here as all the doors looked the same leading to dead ends. Why will you visit? To see a palace which is not related to Rajputs or the Islam but equally grand. Why you should not? If Indian medievel history doesn't grab your attention, this is not for you. Especially with the infestations of bat family.

Very nice place. Must visit if in Datia. Don't forget to go all the way up to the top floors. If you're lucky you might see some beautiful wall paintings.

Beyond the grandeur of its structures, the fort offers panoramic views of Gwalior city, making for a perfect photo opportunity. The evening light and sound show is a popular attraction, bringing the fort's storied past to life with captivating narratives of its rulers and battles. While some parts show signs of wear and tear, the fort's sheer scale and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Indian heritage. It’s an experience that requires a few hours of walking, so comfortable shoes and a bottle of water are essential for an enjoyable visit.

Visited Gwalior Fort during my trip to IIITM Gwalior, and it was an amazing experience! The early morning uphill trek was absolutely beautiful — cool breeze, quiet surroundings, and stunning views as the city slowly woke up. The fort itself is majestic and full of history, with every wall telling a story. The sunrise from the top made the climb totally worth it. Highly recommend going early if you want to enjoy the peaceful vibe and avoid the crowds.

An architectural marvel and one of the most majestic forts in India! The views from the top are breathtaking, and its history make it a must-visit. The Sound & Light show adds an extra charm in the evening. Highly recommended for history and culture lovers!

Gwalior Fort stands tall as a magnificent hilltop citadel, echoing tales of valor, royalty, and timeless artistry. Its majestic palaces, intricately carved temples, and sweeping panoramic views capture the essence of India’s regal past. A paradise for history lovers, the fort offers not just a glimpse, but a grand experience of the country’s glorious heritage. Truly, a masterpiece that leaves every visitor in awe.

Gwalior Fort is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. The fort sits on a high hill, so the first thing you notice is the view. You can see the whole city spread out below, which makes the climb feel worth it right away. Inside the fort, the highlights are Man Singh Palace, with its colourful tiles, and the Sas Bahu Temples, which have detailed carvings you can stare at for a long time. The Teli ka Mandir is another impressive spot and gives you a good sense of how old and diverse the architecture is. The fort is large, so walking around takes time, but it’s peaceful. If you enjoy history, this place is full of stories. The sound and light show in the evening is a nice way to wrap up the visit. Overall, Gwalior Fort is a great mix of views, architecture and history. It’s worth visiting at least once, especially if you enjoy exploring old monuments.

Gwalior Fort is a historic fortress in Madhya Pradesh, India, known for its strategic hilltop location, rich history spanning over a thousand years, and unique mix of architectural styles from various dynasties. Emperor Babur famously called it "the pearl amongst the fortresses of Hind".

The Taj Mahal is a breathtaking monument located on the banks of the Yamuna River. It's a must-visit destination, and I can see why! As I entered the complex, I was amazed by its huge size and beautiful architecture. The first glance took my breath away - it's even more stunning than I imagined! The complex is very large, and you'll need plenty of time to explore it. The architecture is exquisite, with intricate designs and calligraphy that will leave you in awe. The gardens are well-maintained, and the reflecting pools add to the peaceful atmosphere. But what impressed me even more was the attention to detail in terms of amenities. The toilets were clean and well-maintained, and basic facilities like water and snacks were easily available. What really stood out, however, was the primary health center inside the complex. I was pleasantly surprised to find a female doctor on duty, and to my surprise, all the necessary medicines were available on site! It's clear that the authorities have taken care to ensure that visitors have access to basic medical care if needed. Overall, my visit to the Taj Mahal was an unforgettable experience. Whether you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates beauty, this place is a must-visit. 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

Visited the **Taj Mahal**, one of the **Seven Wonders of the World**, and it truly lives up to its reputation — especially the **first sight of the white marble monument**, which is breathtaking. Its **architecture, symmetry, and grandeur** are timeless, and standing in front of it, you feel the weight of history and love it symbolizes. However, there are some areas that could use improvement. The **parking arrangements** are lacking and could definitely be more organized. The **garden** needs some **attention**, as the grass wasn’t trimmed properly and the **water in front of the monument** was absent, with **black algae or dirt** in places. The other monuments in the area are fine but feel familiar compared to the Taj. I visited by **car with a friend**, and the journey was smooth. I look forward to visiting again, and next time I’ll make the trip by **train**, when the **Agra Metro network** is up and running. Still, despite the small flaws, the **Taj Mahal’s charm remains undiminished** — its beauty is eternal, and it continues to leave an indelible mark on anyone who witnesses it.

Visiting the Taj Mahal was truly a mesmerizing experience. As soon as I entered the complex, the sight of the grand white marble monument left me completely speechless.

The early morning sunlight made the marble glow with a soft golden hue, creating a magical atmosphere. Walking closer, I could see the intricate carvings and detailed craftsmanship that make the Taj Mahal one of the world’s greatest wonders. Every corner tells a story of love and devotion, and it’s easy to feel the emotion behind its creation. The gardens were beautifully maintained, adding to the peaceful and royal charm of the place. The entry fee is ₹50 if you buy it at the counter, but only ₹45 if you take it online — I highly recommend booking online since the ticket line can be quite long. There’s also an additional ₹200 ticket for entering the main mausoleum (the upper area), which can also be purchased online. Overall, it’s a breathtaking experience and truly a must-visit symbol of love and history.

The 7 Wonders park is worth visiting, it's most beautiful 😍. A normal ticket costs 50 rupees per person, and a special ticket is 250 rupees. It opens at 5:00 in the morning, and the sunrise and sunset are most beautiful ❤️. And yes, we hired a guide there whose name is Sachin Yadav. He was affiliated with UP Tourism and saved us a lot of time. He's a good guide, he gave us a complete tour and did it properly, not in a hurry. If anyone is reading my message, please consider hiring Sachin as your guide there. Pay him only if you are satisfied with his services. We did the same; we checked the service first and then paid.

A must-visit for anyone traveling to India — an unforgettable experience that captures the heart and soul of Mughal heritage. 🕌❤️

Given the recent Yamuna floods, we were worried to miss out on this special experience, but were extremely fortunate that the waters receded in time for our visit. The soil was still rather damp, so sensible shoes are called for. We went just before sundown. This is the site where the Black Taj was supposed to have been erected. Climb the short wall to get elevated views of the rear of the Taj Mahal. A serene feeling to see the colours change from pale yellow to pink. To the left, is the Khwajasara's red sandstone haveli, an added bonus.

visited Mehtab Bagh with my wife, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful, beautiful spots in Agra. Walking through the garden just as the sun was rising (and later again near sunset), the atmosphere was quiet and soothing, and the view of the Taj Mahal across the Yamuna River felt like a gentle reveal of one of the world’s wonders. The reflection of the Taj in the garden’s ponds was magical, and every moment felt like a painting. We spent a good hour strolling, taking photographs, and breathing in the calm. The light was soft, the sky changing color, and the contrast of the garden’s greenery with the Taj’s marble in the distance was very photogenic. Afterwards, we found some local food nearby which was simple but delicious — it complemented the serenity of the place perfectly. Mehtab Bagh is a must-visit if you want a quieter, reflective moment with the Taj—not just from the main monument, but from across the river, with time to soak it in and not rush. --- What You’ll See & Experience Charbagh-style Mughal garden layout: The garden is designed in a square with pathways, fountains, water channels and ponds, including a “Reflection Pond” or octagonal pond where you can capture beautiful symmetry with the Taj Mahal across the river. Flora & landscaping: Trees, plants, flowering species are planted to give shade, color, and aesthetic breaks. Some restoration has been done to bring back elements of the original garden design. Panoramic views of the Taj Mahal: Especially from vantage points facing the Yamuna, with unobstructed views in early morning or evening light. The seen reflection in water adds to the magic. Quiet, less crowded than Taj Mahal complex: Because it’s across the river, Mehtab Bagh tends to be more peaceful—ideal if you like to soak in vistas, take photos, or just enjoy moments without too much crowd. Night / Moonlight viewings (on certain nights): On full moon nights (and around them) Mehtab Bagh can offer a moonlit view of the Taj, which is quite romantic and rare. --- Best Time to Visit & Practical Details Aspect Details Opening hours Mehtab Bagh is generally open from sunrise to sunset (~6:00 AM to 6:00 PM). Ticket fee For Indian citizens: ~ ₹ 15-25; Foreign nationals: ~ ₹ 200-300. Children under 15 often free. Best months October through February are ideal: cooler weather, clearer skies. Summers are hot; monsoon has risks (humidity, flooding, poor visibility). Best times of day Very early morning around sunrise; late afternoon / golden hour before sunset. These give softer light, fewer people, and wonderful views/reflections. Night / Moonlight viewing On full moon nights (and maybe one or two days before/after), there is special access for moonlight viewing. Worth checking in advance. Possible drawbacks & tips Parking can be inconvenient; from parking to garden entrance you may walk a distance or need a local auto. Some reviews mention maintenance issues in parts of the garden (pathways, view-blocking fences etc.). Go light, wear comfortable shoes.

Despite the recent Yamuna floods, we were lucky that the water had receded just in time for our visit, allowing us to experience this beautiful spot without interruption. The ground was still slightly damp, so wearing sensible shoes is definitely recommended. We reached just before sunset, which turned out to be the perfect time. This location is believed to be the site where the Black Taj was once planned, adding a layer of historical curiosity to the visit. A short climb up the low wall gives you an excellent elevated view of the rear side of the Taj Mahal. Watching the monument change colours—from soft yellow to gentle pink—as the sun goes down is a peaceful and unforgettable moment. On the left side, you’ll also see the Khwajasara’s red sandstone haveli, a charming structure that feels like a hidden bonus for those who explore a little further. Overall: A calm and rewarding spot, especially during sunset. Perfect for photography, history lovers, and anyone wanting a quieter, more unique view of the Taj Mahal. Tip: Go just before sundown, wear sturdy shoes, and carry a light jacket if the weather is cool.

Mehtab Bagh is one of the biggest garden. There is an entry ticket 25 INR and taj view point has different entrance with 35 INR ticket.

Good place to see the sunset of Tajmahal at the back side of Mehtab bagh a unique and different view of taj in the banks of yumuna river. After 5 pm best time to visit and sit relax and enjoy the view of sine suset.

Mehtab Bagh is a Mughal-era garden located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. It's known for its partly ruined formal gardens, which were restored in the 1990s, and offers famous views of the Taj Mahal. ​Here are some details: ​Address: 1, MEHTAB BAGH, Nagla Devjit, Agra, Uttar Pradesh 282001 ​Description: Partly ruined formal Mughal-era gardens restored in the 1990s, with famous Taj Mahal views. ​Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday, 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM

The gardens are nice. The Taj Mahal views are good, but not quite great I didn't go, but the Taj Mahal Viewpoint looks to have a bit better view. 300 rupee entrance fee

Visited Agra and had an amazing experience! The city is rich in history and architecture, with the Taj Mahal being an absolute must-see—breathtaking and serene.

The fort is incredibly well-preserved, and every corner tells a story—from the massive red sandstone walls to the beautifully designed palaces and courtyards. Walking through the Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Jahangiri Mahal, and the various gates really makes you appreciate the craftsmanship and thought that went into building this masterpiece. The detailed carvings, the strategic layout, and the blend of Persian and Indian styles are absolutely fascinating for anyone who loves archaeology or history. The views of the Taj Mahal from inside the fort are breathtaking and add to the overall experience. The pathways are clean, the guides are informative, and the atmosphere is peaceful. Overall, Agra Fort is a must-visit. My experience today was memorable, educational, and truly enjoyable. If you appreciate heritage sites and Mughal architecture, this place will definitely leave you impressed.

Worth going, lovely palaces and interesting history. We didn’t get a guide and we made do with the signs that are dotted about and it was fine! Inside guides were offering around 400 rupees for a tour if you were interested. We couldn’t pay by card at the counter, cheaper to buy tickets online than paying cash so would recommend doing that.

Buland Darwaza, located in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, is a majestic gateway built by Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1601 to commemorate his victory over Gujarat. This stunning example of Mughal architecture stands at an impressive 54 meters high, making it one of the tallest gateways in the world. *Key Features:* - *Architecture*: A blend of Indian and Persian styles, with intricate carvings, calligraphy, and geometric designs - *Materials*: Red sandstone with white and black marble decorations - *Design*: Symmetrical structure with large free-standing kiosks (chhatris) and small turrets - *Inscriptions*: Verses from the Quran and Persian inscriptions highlighting Akbar's religious tolerance and military conquests *Visiting Information:* - *Location*: Fatehpur Sikri, Agra District, Uttar Pradesh, India - *Timings*: 8 am to 7 pm, all days of the week - *Entry Fee*: ₹35 for Indians, ₹550 for foreigners (includes entry to Fatehpur Sikri complex) - *Best Time to Visit*: November to March, avoiding the hot summer months *Significance:* - *Historical Importance*: Built to commemorate Akbar's victory over Gujarat in 1573 - *Architectural Marvel*: Showcases Mughal architectural style with intricate carvings and marble work

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Majestic Gateway of Faith and Mughal Grandeur! Buland Darwaza at Fatehpur Sikri is one of the grandest gateways in the world and a remarkable symbol of Mughal victory and devotion. Built by Emperor Akbar in 1601 AD after his conquest of Gujarat, it stands at a height of about 54 meters and forms the majestic entrance to the Jama Masjid complex. The Persian inscriptions and artistic stonework reflect Akbar’s deep sense of faith and power. Inside the complex, you’ll find several important monuments — the Jama Masjid, the sacred Tomb (Dargah) of Sheikh Salim Chishti, Badshahi Darwaza, Shahi Darwaza, and smaller courtyards and prayer halls, each filled with Mughal artistry and spiritual calm. The Salim Chishti Dargah, made of pure white marble, is a serene and spiritual place where people come for didar (holy sight) and to tie sacred threads with their wishes. The peace and divinity here are truly heart-touching. During evening or night hours, the entire complex looks even more enchanting — the Buland Darwaza glows under soft golden lights, and the white dargah shines beautifully, creating a magical and divine atmosphere. A must-visit place that perfectly blends history, spirituality, and architecture — a true jewel of Mughal India.

This place has free entry, but you must remove your shoes before entering. There’s a gentleman on the left who will look after your shoes for 10 rupees. The main annoyance here is the guides — they will constantly approach you, insisting that you hire them. Some even start giving explanations as if you’ve already agreed to pay. To avoid this, firmly say no from the start and ignore them completely, otherwise they’ll drain your energy. If you plan to visit the Panch Mahal afterward, retrieve your shoes and carry them through the King’s Gate. After about 200 meters, you’ll reach the ticket booth for Panch Mahal. For visitors with physical challenges, it’s better to enter through the King’s Gate as it avoids the stairs at the main entrance. Inside the Buland Darwaza, sellers will try to sell you souvenirs, but I found the prices quite high compared to other places in India — so it’s up to you. Overall, this was my least enjoyable experience in the Agra–Fatehpur area, mainly because of the aggressive guides. The one we hired said his fee was 200 rupees, but at the end he demanded extra tips, and we ended up paying him 500 rupees.

Buland Darwaza, located in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, India, is the highest gateway in the world and a magnificent example of Mughal architecture.

Absolutely stunning Akhbari architecture. Although not the biggest fan of taking off my shoes considering it wasn't so clean inside. I will say that if you are tourist, expect to get chased and harrased by every local wanting to be your tour guide.

Must visit place. Remarkable ancient architecture . You will be thrilled after knowing the historical importance of this place. Perfectly maintained by government. Ticket price is low. Beware of scams going there by locals. Contact government officials around you for every authentic information.

Great historical place to visit and explore old architecture design of India. No unwanted people wandering around only authorised people are allowed inside the palace on weekdays no one will interrupt your experience

Panch Mahal is a palace in Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh, India. The Panch Mahal meaning 'Five level Palace' was commissioned by Akbar. This structure stands close to the Zenana quarters which supports the supposition that it was used for entertainment and relaxation. The pavilion gives a majestic view of the fort that lies on its left. The pool in front of the Panch Mahal is called the Anoop Talab. It would have been filled with water, save for the bridge, and would have been the setting for musical concerts and other entertainment. The ground floor has 84 columns, the first story has 56 columns and the second and third stories have 20 and 12 columns respectively. The topmost story has 4 columns supporting a chhattri. There are 176 columns in all and each is elegantly carved pillars with unique designs.

*Important Information for Visiting Fatehpur Sikri:* When you park your vehicle and get down at the parking area, take a Free e-auto which will drop you at the ticket counter, approximately 500 meters away. From there, you need to hire a government shuttle — each ticket costs Rs. 30. This vehicle will take you to the main Fatehpur Sikri complex. At the entrance, you must purchase an entry ticket for Rs. 50 per person for Indian and Rs.610 for foreigners. It is highly recommended to take a local guide by paying around Rs. 200 to Rs. 300, to get a better understanding and history of Fatehpur Sikri.

The Panch Mahal meaning 'Five level Palace' was commissioned by Akbar. This structure stands close to the Zenana quarters (Harem) which supports the supposition that it was used for entertainment and relaxation. This is one of the most important buildings in Fatehpur Sikri.

Just fell in love with the beauty of place. It's more like a watch tower for the king from where he enjoy the evening breeze and took glance of his kingdom.

The Panch Mahal in Fatehpur Sikri is truly stunning! Its unique five-storey design and open structure are amazing to see in person.

Love the architecture and the story behind this building. Its significance is really crazy.

A magnificent piece of history, the Red colour fort’s scale, architecture and atmosphere are unforgettable. The ramparts, halls and the view across the river are superb. My main concern is that parts of the roof and upper masonry appear to be deteriorating and in need of better maintenance; some areas look weathered and could benefit from conservation work and clearer signage about any restoration plans. Overall a must-see, but I hope the authorities step up upkeep to preserve it for future visitors.

Forget the Taj Mahal for a Moment — Let’s Talk About the “Baby Taj” When you think of Agra, the Taj Mahal instantly steals the spotlight. But on my last trip, I found a quieter, more personal gem that completely surprised me — Itmad-ud-Daula, lovingly nicknamed the “Baby Taj.” And while people often call it a smaller version of the Taj, I’d say that’s underselling it. This place isn’t a copy — it’s the prototype, and it has a charm that’s all its own. Built by Empress Nur Jahan for her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg (titled Itmad-ud-Daula, meaning “Pillar of the State”), this tomb is really a story of love and gratitude carved in marble. You can actually feel that emotion when you walk in — it’s not just about grandeur here, it’s about intimacy and devotion. The first thing that caught my eye wasn’t its size, but the details. The white marble surface is delicately inlaid with colorful semi-precious stones — this art form, known as pietra dura, was used here long before the Taj. Every inch feels handcrafted with care. I spent ages just tracing the patterns with my eyes — tiny floral motifs, geometric designs, and that magical latticework (jaalis) that filters sunlight into soft, golden patterns on the floor. What I loved most was the peace. After the chaos of the Taj Mahal crowds, Itmad-ud-Daula felt like a deep breath. I sat under a shady tree in the Charbagh garden, just listening to birds and watching the Yamuna River flow by. It’s so calm that you almost forget you’re in one of India’s busiest tourist cities. For photographers, this place is heaven. The symmetry, the play of light and shadow, and the gentle afternoon glow on white marble — you barely need filters. If you can, visit around sunset; the golden light makes the marble glow softly, and it’s pure magic. So, my honest take? Don’t rush through this one. Visit Itmad-ud-Daula before the Taj Mahal — it’s the perfect introduction to Mughal artistry and the emotional depth behind it. Think of it as the quiet prelude to the Taj’s grand performance. For me, this little tomb ended up being one of my favorite memories from Agra — not because it’s the biggest or the most famous, but because it feels personal. It’s a daughter’s love story, immortalized in stone. And honestly, it’s one you shouldn’t miss.

Itimad-ud-Daula’s Tomb, located in Agra, is often called the “Baby Taj” because it is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal. Built between 1622–1628 by Nur Jahan for her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg (Itimad-ud-Daula), a high-ranking Mughal official. First Mughal structure made entirely of white marble, instead of red sandstone. Famous for its delicate pietra dura (inlay work) and fine lattice screens. Surrounded by a charbagh (Persian-style garden) layout. Its design heavily has influenced later the Mughal architecture, including the Taj Mahal. It’s one of Agra’s most elegant and artistically detailed monuments. Ticket for the tourists cost 300 r .

Awesome.... Baby taj is really baby taj. No much crowd Visit mostly on weekdays. No guide needed. Amazing design and architecture. And ticket price is also low even u can buy on website so u will get discount.

This is a nice place to visit if you have time in Agra. It is a smaller version of the Taj Mahal. If you don't want to deal with huge crowds and have a very similar set up to enjoy this is the place to visit. It was quiet when we visited which was at approximately 12:00 P.M. You can buy tickets directly using cash or buy online. It was 500 Rupees for 2 people. Online is better as you get a QR code and you don't have to wait on line for tickets. I would recommend visiting this place if you have the time.

Itmad-ud-Daula is a beautiful place to visit in Agra. People often call it the Baby Taj, and once you see it, you understand why. The marble work is very detailed and the designs inside are really elegant. The gardens around the monument are peaceful and make the whole experience feel calm. It’s not as crowded as the Taj Mahal, so you get more time to enjoy the view and take pictures. If you like history, architecture or quiet places, this spot is worth your time.

Agra is known for Taj Mahal which is famous worldwide. In addition to the Taj Mahal there are several lesser known attractions in Agra should be on any traveler's itinerary. This tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah is one of them. Construction and Architecture of Itmad-ud-Daula: The tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula situated on east bank of the Yamuna river and was built between 1622 and 1628 by Nur Jahan, the wife of Emperor Jahangir. This tomb was built in honor of her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg, a Prominent courtier and minister in the Mughal Court. Mirza Ghiyas Beg had been given the title of "Itmad-ud-Daula" which means pillar of the State. He was also the grandfather of Mumtaz Mahal, the wife of Shah Jahan. One can enter the tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula from the East gate, which is the only functional gateway of the tomb. The other three gateways built in other directions were constructed only to maintain the symmetry, following the rules of the Char Bagh Pattern. The tomb is 21 meters high and there are four minarets that are 12 meters tall, at each of the four corners of the marble platform. This monument displays the Persian architectural influence on Islamic architectural style. This monumental building is an example of architectural splendor famous for its arched entrances, octagonal shaped towers, exquisitely carved floral, intricate marble screen work. Interesting Facts about Itmad-ud-Daula: 1. The Taj Mahal is said to have been inspired by this monument. 2. Itmad-ud-Daula is regarded as India's first marble tomb and a true breakthrough in Mughal Architecture. 3. Itmad-ud-Daula was built from white marble and decorated with precious stones. The structure represents the first use of intricate inlay techniques in Indian Architecture, which later become characteristic of Mughal mausoleums. 4. The tomb's inner space is devided into nine chambers, the largest chamber in the central chamber which is only accessible from the southern side. 5. If you take a bird's eye of Itmad-ud-Daula tomb, it looks like a jewel box set in a garden. Itmad-ud-Daulah's is one of the city's most stunning architectural tourist spot. Timings and Entry Charges: Open from Sun Rise to Sun Set Except on Monday as Monday is closing day. Entry charges are 30 INR for Indian adults and 310 INR For Foreigners. No charges for Childrens below 15 years.

Best time to visit during winter early morning or evening. The place has wide rangw of birds. You can explore this place either on bicycle, on foot or on rickshaw. Best mode to explore is on bicycle as you can explore all the lanes. At the end other end there is a temple plus a cafe which is quite affordable. You will have to pay entry fee and bicycle rent. You take a guided tour where the guide will help you understand the birds migration pattern and how to best identify or locate the birds. Overall its good to visit one time.

Keoladeo National Park, also known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, is one of India’s most celebrated avian destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spread over 29 sq km, this artificial wetland has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it was created by Maharaja Suraj Mal by building the Ajan Bund to store monsoon rainwater. Initially a duck-hunting reserve for the Maharajas and British officers, it was declared a bird sanctuary in 1956 and gained national park status in 1982. Located conveniently on the Golden Triangle (Delhi–Agra–Jaipur route), the park features a well-maintained network of trails and cycling routes. The map clearly shows key zones—wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands—each teeming with over 370 species of birds, including painted storks, egrets, and the rare Siberian crane (seen in the past). Cycling or hiring a rickshaw with a trained guide is highly recommended for exploring the area.

My overall experience at the Elephant Care Center was quite good. The environment is peaceful, and it’s heartening to see the care and effort put into the well-being of the elephants. One point to mention is the donation amount, which is ₹2,000 per person. While it may seem on the higher side for an educational tour, looking at it from a broader perspective, this contribution supports the center’s meaningful work. It helps provide better care, medical attention, and a safer space for these gentle animals. If you're someone who values animal welfare and wants to learn more about elephant conservation, it's definitely worth the visit.

Absolutely a most see whilst in India if you like elephants. This is a real rescue centre, no touching or feeding the animals is allowed. They allow the elephants to go for walks twice a day, 3-4 hours in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. They are allowed to roam freely in the green space that surrounds the center. This is as close to freedom as they can safely manage, it was beautiful to see. If you do the morning trip at around 11am or the afternoon trip of 3pm you should catch a glimpse of the elephants outside in the fields. There is a very reasonably priced gift shop with all proceeds going towards the elephants. The staff are lovely, so informative and they genuinely care and work towards elephant conservation projects across the world.

Just visited the Wildlife Conservation Elephant Center in India, and it honestly left a mark on me. This place is home to rescued elephants who’ve lived through unthinkable pain years of captivity, abuse, and neglect at the hands of humans. Some were used for begging, others for labor or tourist rides. You can still see the physical scars and emotional trauma in their eyes. But what’s powerful is seeing how their stories have changed. Now, they’re in a space where they’re safe. They’re not being forced to perform or carry people. They’re finally free to roam, to rest, to just be. And the most beautiful part? They’re learning to trust humans again, thanks to the dedication and compassion of the team there. These elephants are finally getting the love and care they’ve always deserved. It’s a reminder that while humans are capable of causing deep harm, we’re also capable of healing, protecting, and doing better. If you ever get a chance to visit, go. See the change. It’s humbling, heartbreaking, and hopeful all at once.

We opted to visit this elephant conservation centre when our tour operator wanted to automatically book us for an elephant ride in Jaipur to Amber Fort. We declined the ride and opted for this educational experience instead. Would highly recommend visiting this reserve and seeing the important work they are doing to help the captive/poached/maltreated elephant population in this country. It was educational and eye opening for all of us, from age 8 to 58. It was a great opportunity to see the elephants close up but for good reason, the elephants here are not to be touched (as you will learn). This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and life changing for us all. Would highly recommend!

This was an unplanned trip - but I am glad that I went. I was returning to Delhi from Agra by car and it is on the way with a little detour. I have never been to an elephant sanctuary - that said this place was the highlight of my trip, spiritually and emotionally it topped the Taj Mahal surprisingly. I texted them on WhatsApp as it was a last minute trip and they were able to accommodate me. Poojan a wonderful young man met me at the gate. His passion is evident the whole 1.5 hours that I was there. He first explained the reason for their existence + short video. We then went to the field to visit the elephants - as it was around 4ish some of them went for their daily walks. I was fortunate to observe a an interaction session between an elephant (Priyanka) and her caretaker. I learnt about the plight of these gentle giants and the many wonderful people who are doing something about it - which u can read about on their website. The place is very well run - if I were an elephant who had been in captivity since young and not able to fend for myself, I would be want to be here. That’s the best way I can describe the great work that they are doing. One important thing to know is that we can’t touch them - they are only paired with their caretaker ; it takes time to build trust again. It’s a lovely place to bring children for early education and exposure. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit - and spread the word so that more can understand and support.

We went to this conservatory for a guided tour and had a truly meaningful and moving experience. We were awe-struck by the horrific treatment of elephants that are tamed for human entertainment/religion and the vital and challenging work this charity is doing to rescue them. Hearing the beautiful bitter-sweet stories of every elephant was one of the highlights of our trip to India. Seeing the elephants was a truly moving experience. If you have the chance, it is definitely worth a visit. Something worth noting is that this conservatory is not a place to touch an elephant or get a ride, but for a good reason. If you come here for a tour, the guide will explain to you why such entertainment for people is deeply traumatic to elephants. I hope that one day, all elephants get to receive the kind of care that this conservatory provides them with.

We booked 1 day in advance for a group of 11 intending for it to be a quick stop on the way back to Delhi from Agra. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. Our whole group was very impressed with the work that Wildlife SOS was doing and the amount of time and care that goes into rehabilitating the elephants. Several people said this was a highlight of the trip to India so far. One piece of feedback, it would be great to see an option to sponsor an elephant on a monthly basis like a subscription, or some kind of recurring donation. The gift shop also had some beautiful items which also go towards supporting the organization.

Do not carry leather belt, digial watch and mobile phone with you. Place is awesome with position vibe, but you will face some issue with nearby food. Also be aware with local auto driver. Fiz evening before you start your journey to visit near by places.

Prem Mandir, or the "Temple of Divine Love," is a stunning white marble temple in Vrindavan dedicated to Radha-Krishna and Sita-Ram. Built by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj and inaugurated in 2012, it is a modern-day architectural marvel that embodies the essence of pure devotion. The temple’s culture is deeply rooted in the Vaishnavism tradition of Vrindavan, the sacred land of Lord Krishna’s childhood pastimes. The name "Prem Mandir" emphasizes the supremacy of prem (divine love), which the Vedas proclaim even controls Lord Krishna. The temple was established to spread this message of unconditional love for God. Atmosphere: The temple's grand architecture and spiritual ambiance captivate all who visit. Surrounding the main structure are beautiful gardens with life-sized depictions of Krishna’s pastimes, like the Govardhan and Raas leelas ▪︎Tip for visitors: The temple is most beautiful in the evening when it is lit up. However, it also attracts the largest crowds during this time, so visitors seeking a peaceful experience may prefer a daytime visit.

Visited Prem Mandir with my wife, and it was a truly divine experience! The temple’s beauty, peaceful atmosphere, and devotional energy made our visit unforgettable. The evening light and fountain show were simply mesmerizing.The temple is stunning—its intricate marble carvings and beautiful lighting in the evening make it truly mesmerizing. After the visit, we enjoyed some delicious local food nearby. Parking in Vrindavan can be a bit challenging, so I would suggest taking an auto rickshaw to visit the temple. It is convenient and saves time. A must-visit place in Vrindavan for anyone looking for serenity and divine beauty.

Beautiful mandir! Very beautiful! We were told by the locals that it's very beautiful at night with its lighting but as we weren't able to make time, so we visited in the morning, and we were still mesmerised. The temple is spread on a huge campus, the main temple building is majestic, and the sculptures of Krishnaleela are mesmerizing, each more beautiful than the one before... The temple is as beautiful inside as it is on the outside, with intricate details and some LED decorations. So my main point is, please don't miss this, even if you can't make it here during the evening.

Prem Mandir is an absolutely stunning place to visit in Vrindavan. The entire temple is newly constructed with beautifully carved white marble, and the architecture is truly mesmerizing. The campus is huge, very well maintained, and surprisingly clean. Even on weekends, there wasn’t much rush, which made the experience peaceful and enjoyable. If you're visiting Mathura–Vrindavan, this is a must-visit spot. I highly recommend going early in the morning — the soft light makes the temple glow, and it’s the perfect time for amazing photoshoots without crowds. A serene, divine, and memorable experience!

Prem Mandir is truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever visited. The temple architecture is stunning, especially the intricate marble carvings that look even more magical in the evening when the lights come on. The entire atmosphere is calm, devotional, and very well maintained. The musical fountain show is a must-watch and adds to the overall experience. Parking and cleanliness are also well managed. A perfect place for families, devotees, and anyone seeking peace and positivity. Highly recommended!

its stunning white-marble architecture, intricate carvings, and spacious, beautifully maintained gardens. The evening lighting and musical fountain show are major highlights, creating a peaceful and devotional atmosphere. It is a must-visit spiritual destination. Free facilities like footwear storage and wheelchair access add convenience. However, heavy crowds, especially on weekends and during festivals, along with occasional parking difficulties. Overall it’s beautiful and a must visit.

Prem mandir, a relatively new temple of Vrindavan, was really nice and beautiful place. The premises is huge and can accommodate thousands of people at a time. Evening and night is the best time to visit this place for its beautiful lighting and beautiful statues and other idols outside. The inside decoration is also beautiful. Though it is much less important spiritually than other temples of Vrindavan, but still it attracts lakhs of tourists and pilgrims everyday for its beautiful architecture and decoration.

Shri Radha Rani Temple, Barsana — A Divine Abode of Love and Devotion 🌸 Visiting Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana is not just a trip, it’s a soulful experience filled with divine energy and eternal love. Situated atop the beautiful Maan Garh Hill, this sacred temple is dedicated to Goddess Radha, the beloved of Lord Krishna. It is believed to be her birthplace, and every corner of this holy town vibrates with her divine presence. The climb to the temple through hundreds of stairs is a spiritual journey in itself. As you ascend, the entire Barsana town unfolds before your eyes like a divine painting. The architecture of the temple is simply breathtaking — made of red and yellow sandstone, it beautifully reflects the essence of Rajasthani art and ancient heritage. Inside the sanctum, the idols of Radha Rani and Lord Krishna radiate a heavenly aura that touches your heart. The chants of “Radhe Radhe” echo through the air, filling your mind with peace and devotion. The temple becomes even more magical during Holi — especially the world-famous Lathmar Holi of Barsana, where thousands of devotees gather to celebrate divine love. The atmosphere during Radhashtami is equally mesmerizing, with devotees from across the country arriving to seek Radha Rani’s blessings. Every moment here feels blissful — from the enchanting evening aarti to the cool breeze carrying the fragrance of devotion. Shri Radha Rani Temple is truly a heavenly destination, where you don’t just visit, you feel the presence of divine love. Highly recommended for everyone seeking peace, spirituality, and an unforgettable divine experience. 🙏

Visiting the Radha Rani Temple in Barsana was a truly divine and memorable experience. The temple stands gracefully on a high mountain, offering stunning views of the entire town. We reached there by car and later returned quickly on bikes through the cool night breeze—it felt thrilling and peaceful at the same time. Walking up the steep, sloppy road to the temple was a bit tiring but completely worth it. The divine aura of Radha Rani at the top filled our hearts with devotion and calmness. Radhe Radhe !

The Shri Radha Rani Temple in Barsana is one of the most spiritually powerful places in Braj. The energy here is truly divine, you can feel the presence of Radha Rani the moment you climb the steps. According to the scriptures, this is the sacred hill where Radha Rani, the beloved of Lord Krishna, spent her childhood. It is believed that Barsana represents Shri Radha’s home, and visiting here is considered one of the holiest experiences in Braj Dham. Darshan is very peaceful and beautiful if you go on a weekday, especially early morning or early afternoon. During weekends or festivals, the rush becomes uncontrollable, it’s not safe or comfortable to bring small children. Ab thoda practical part, place bahut bheed bhara rehta hai. Local hawkers aur touts har jagah milenge, sab apna product ya service bechne ki koshish karte hain. Be alert, bahut log tourist ko confuse karke paisa nikalne ki koshish karte hain. Mobile phone, wallet, ya koi expensive cheez leke mat jao, pickpocketing common hai. Also, do not drink lassi or eat anything from random stalls, zyadatar fake products hote hain aur quality kharab hoti hai. Carry plenty of small change because literally every second person will ask for donation or bhiksha. Overall, darshan of Radha Rani is absolutely divine, but everything outside the temple feels like a chaos zone. If you go with devotion and awareness, it’s a spiritually uplifting visit.

Fantastic place here rope way system is also available to reach on hill then main temple of Radha rani which is really mind blowing. Sometimes it's a little bit crowded but the radha nam satsang was amazing. If you're able to climb then enjoy and climb with happiness with chanting radha radha.

Place is why Barsana is famous for. Takes 20 mins to climb by stairs to the temple or you can opt for ropeway. Don't depend on management, you have to take care of yourself and your family on your own. Better to wait of its heavily crowded. First darshan of the day starts at 5:30am for mangla Aarti. There is no ticket for entry to the temple

Shri Radha Rani Temple, also known as Ladli Ji Mandir, is one of the most divine and spiritually charged places in Braj. The temple stands beautifully on Brahmachal Hill, and just below the main steps lies Shri Radha Janmsthan, believed to be the exact birthplace of Radha Rani. Visiting both places together gives an unforgettable divine experience — you can truly feel Radha Rani’s presence here. 🌸✨ The narrow galiyaan of Barsana are full of devotion, colors, and chants of “Radhe Radhe”. As you walk up to the temple, the peaceful atmosphere and the view from the top fill you with calmness and joy. The vibe here is pure Braj bhakti — full of love and devotion towards Radha–Krishna. 💫 Nearby, you can also visit Maan Mandir, Kirti Mandir (Radha Rani’s mother’s temple), and Rangili Mahal, each place holding a unique story of divine love. Barsana is not just a town — it’s a living memory of Radha–Krishna’s leela, where every corner feels alive with their presence. If you want to experience true peace and divine connection, Radha Rani Temple and Janmsthan in Barsana are must-visit places. 🙏💖

Visiting the Radharani Temple in Barsana was a truly wonderful experience. I would highly recommend having your own means of transportation if you are travelling with family. There is ample parking available, though on special occasions you can expect long queues. The walk to the temple is comfortable and not too tiring, but do watch your step on the stairs. It took us about 10 to 15 minutes to get inside and have the darshan, which was quite reasonable for the month of October, just before Diwali. I have heard that at other times the temple can be very crowded, so it is best to plan your visit accordingly. Once you are at the temple, there is also a fort nearby that you can easily walk to. Overall, it was a divine and peaceful experience.

Nice place for auto enthusiasts, knowledge seekers, and students. Free parking available, food court is also available but is a little costly. There is no need to buy advance tickets. You need at least 2 hours to visit. Space movie show is in english and full of knowledge but may be boring for some. The location is odd, far from the city, but road connectivity is nice. Staff is polite and helpful. Neet and clean environment.

If you are in NCR, you shouldn't miss this. One of the very well curated exhibit. For people over 40-50s, it's gonna take you down the memory lane. Kids super love it to see the grandiour of vintage cars and vehicles.... Especially buggies. Kids love the simulator too and movie shown is also brilliant. They can improve bit on the gift shop but rest is an amazing experience.

A must-visit and truly amazing place! There’s a cafeteria available as well. It’s a bit far, but definitely worth visiting. I’d recommend going by your own vehicle, as getting a cab might be a little difficult—though when I checked, Ola, Uber, and Rapido were showing available options. I didn’t book any since I went in my own vehicle.

Excellent museum which is very well maintened. Easily among the best I've experienced in India. Takes through the journey of transportation, not just cars or buses. Guided tours, self guided walk arounds, they have it all! The food at the cafeteria is a bit blah, but I think they're solving for affordability. Do go here when you're in Delhi NCR.

This is really good place and every one should watch it with your kids who learn a lot about heritage of museums. Kolkata tram and Maruti 800 design at entrance is my favourite and there is a cafe which is also unique

Wonderful experience visiting the heritage transport museum. It was such a great visit. The cars , bikes , trucks etc Antique and classic cars had my heart Very well researched and planned. The whole museum is so well laid Hats off to the gentleman who has envisioned and executed it Great learning for kids and adults alike It was such a heart warming experience. Reliving some finest memories of our childhood and introducing the same to our children.

Definitely a long way from home and some stretches along the way - the road was very bad but the museum is beautiful and very well maintained. Great food and service too! A must visit with kids and family.

The ambiance is uniquely calming and relaxing, thanks to the Venice theme. However, the mall is not well-maintained, with many areas showing neglect, and a large number of closed and empty stores make the atmosphere feel disappointingly deserted. Great concept, poor execution.

The Grand Venice Mall is praised for its unique Venetian-style architecture, including gondola rides on internal canals, a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and a vibrant atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the variety of shops, a large food court with diverse options, and entertainment such as movies and a live show. However, some downsides noted in reviews include the cost of the gondola ride, which is sometimes described as expensive for the duration, and the ongoing construction in some areas. Overall, it's considered a unique destination for a few hours of entertainment and shopping, though its appeal as a primary destination for serious shoppers is debated, especially for those in nearby Delhi. Positive aspects: Unique architecture: The mall is noted for its Venetian theme, including canals and gondola rides. Variety of options: Reviewers mention a good range of branded shops, a large food court, a movie hall, and other entertainment options. Atmosphere: Many find the ambiance to be aesthetically pleasing and a good place for family outings. Negative aspects: Cost: The gondola ride is frequently mentioned as being expensive for the short duration. Construction: Some parts of the mall are still under construction, which can be a drawback.

A unique Venice-themed mall with gondola rides, canals, and stunning architecture that really feels like Italy. Great for photos and a relaxed outing. Shops and food outlets are there, but on weekdays it feels quiet and less lively. Worth visiting for the experience more than shopping.

The Grand Venice Mall is a beautiful place to visit with family or friends. The Venice-style design, gondola rides, and wide range of shops make it a fun and relaxing spot. Great for shopping, dining, and spending quality time together. Truly one of Noida’s best malls! 🌸

Visited this mall with great expectations but got really disappointed. The place looks very old and poorly maintained. Paint is coming off, cracks on the walls, and hardly any shops are open. Feels like no one is taking care of it anymore. From outside too it looks dull and worn out. Such a big mall but completely wasted potential.

The Grand Venice Mall in Greater Noida is a unique and visually stunning shopping destination that stands out for its Italian-inspired architecture. Modeled after the canals and landmarks of Venice, it offers a picturesque and immersive experience with gondola rides, ornate bridges, and grand facades that make it feel like a European escape in the heart of India. The mall houses a wide variety of retail outlets, including national and international brands, making it a convenient place for both shopping and entertainment. From fashion and electronics to cosmetics and lifestyle products, there's something for everyone. The food court is diverse, offering a range of cuisines—from Indian street food to global fast-food chains—catering to varied tastes. One of the highlights is the indoor entertainment zone, featuring attractions like Snow Mastiii (an indoor snow park), a gaming arcade, and a multiplex cinema, making it a great family-friendly destination. Cleanliness, security, and ample parking add to the convenience. However, some parts of the mall still feel underutilized or in development, which can slightly affect the overall experience. Despite that, The Grand Venice Mall remains a must-visit for its aesthetics and range of activities. Whether you're looking to shop, dine, or just enjoy the ambiance, it offers a memorable day out.

If you're doing here boating it means total wasting your money. I recommend go to snow masti inside the mall and enjoy to lot. And other facility is awesome 👌. If you're interested in games u can try it here and ghost

Badkal lake was a tourist attraction, but after dried completely for many years consequently no visitors at all. Now many tourists hover there.local Admin doing renovation works and making efforts to recharge this water body to meet its glorious past.

Badkal lake is not a lake in summers at least. We visited this place in May. Highway construction was going on and there was on lake as far as eyes can see. When you will reach near the lake, you will find a sign board telling you to take a turn to the resort with swimming pool. Please take that turn, because the straight road leads to a dead end with no great view. The resort, I am guessing, has made some sort of path to walk along side the former lake. Also visit during monsoon, so that you can at least see some water.

Beautiful view mostly in rainy season you guys must visit there but If you guys are going there with your frnds .

Worst place for family & friends..however u can find cool blaze of air !! No lake as such ground is fitted with Football post and cricket pitch (hope u can imagine level of drought here), so don't expect lake. Only when it rains.. it becomes marshy and lake appears..hahaha. Posting some pics might help u!! 😊

Nature is great and supreme. But unfortunately, this lake is not all natural, a lot has human hands to thank, for the present condition it’s in. Ironically, it’s mankind that is to blame for the pathetic condition of this large lake. When we reached there, we were dismayed to find not a single drop of water. It was completely dry. But the beauty of the place is still intact. Sadly, humans have tried, probably successfully, to commercialise this place. There are pathways and places for one to rest. Furthermore, we also found couples, who were more interested in themselves rather than the beauty of the place. So, if it’s rustic beauty that you are looking for, you must visit this lake.

This is a natural occuring lake on the outskirts of Faridabad. It has dried up since time immemorial and though at one time it might have been a good place to visit, but during the month of December, it tends to be a tad useless to visit....I personally did not witness any water though I did not dig around to look for it!

A Good place for family picnic. There is no water in lake now but have a beautiful scenery with greenery and hills.
