Quite nice lake, clean & well maintained. The Sur sagar lake is in the heart of City of Vadodara, Gujarat. The walking strip is really very good & you can take quite a big lap of whole lake. The Seasonal migrated birds are beautiful to watch whioe they play in the lake. Must visit place in Vadodara.

Sur sagar lake looks stunning at night as golden lord Shiva statue glows giving scenic view. If you visit at night then try Lakhoti soda which taste yummy.

As I have visited here today and it's my first day in Vadodara, Gujarat, I am impressed by the people here. I visited the Sur Sagar Lake, and I can definitely say that everybody must visit this place as it helps you feel relaxed. You can enjoy the sunrise and sunset views from here and also spend some valuable time with your loved ones. Additionally, there are lots of food stalls nearby, so I suggest you must visit this place.Also there is a hold plated lord Shiva idol in the centre of the lake.

Present at heart of the city. But, it lacks maintenance. Water in Lake is not clean and with lot of dead fish. Pleaset evening walk is risk to health at this place.

Excellent place for walking. One can relax here . Very beautiful Lord Shiva Statue in the middle of the Lake.

Sur Sagar Lake in Vadodara is a serene urban oasis that dates back to the 18th century, originally known as Chandan Talav. 🏞️ Towering in the centre of the lake is a stunning 120-foot gold-plated statue of Lord Shiva, reflecting beautifully in the water. 🕉️ The lakeside pathway offers clean seating and pleasant evening breezes — perfect for a relaxed stroll or peaceful reflection. 🌇 With its historical importance, central location, and spiritual vibe, it’s a must-visit when you’re in Vadodara. 🙏

Sursagar Lack having a tall statue of Lord Shiva 120 feet in the middle of the lake, which is lit up on Maha Shivratri, works as a veritable beacon over the lake. Beautification around entire lake is good with walkways & seating etc.

Excellent experience - both spiritual and for the view. Current one has to climb about 300-400 steps to reach the temple despite taking the ropeway. But it appears that this ropeway is being extended to almost the top just near the temple and only a few steps will remain to be climbed. The darshan was easy, the view mesmerising and the experience elevating.

The waterfalls are good! Beautiful experience. However the services are pathetic! The toilets are dirty! Wonder why would government not create infrastructure at picnic spots with such nice beautiful waterfall... Roads are narrow! During monsoon plan trip to start your journey back home by 2pm as narrow roads and soft land could cause issues for car getting stuck. 2 hrs is good enough time! Must go but with group

Nice water fall during monsoon season. Have hindu Shivling and Hathani mata under waterfall. Must visit place. The place have some sharp rocks and some area have deep downfalls so be careful with bear foot. The water level is very low in most of waterfall so it's considered safe and good place.

I think off monsoon season is not the beat choice to visit this place. I visited this place in feb 2021, there id no waterfall but he place was very quiet and peacefull. Also got the chance to see mataji very closely and to click a lot of pics. Local peoples are also very friendly and helpful. Our route was started from pavagarh , so the road was passing through a jungle , which scared my wife but i was having too much fun.We are planning ti visit again in monsoon season, then i will update you again.

Hii...Hathini Mata waterfall is not as good as shown in many pictures or videos yes you can see that views when there is heavy rainfall but worthy visiting place. One route is through the forest where you can see many signboard with pictures including hyena and cheeta..but overall place is just ok not as good as should be. This place has a temple known as hathini mata temple and is good place for religious people...Thank you very much🙂

I just went to the Kal Bhairav Temple. The Kal Bhairav Temple is one of Ujjain's most powerful and mystical temples, dedicated to Lord Kal Bhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiva.

The Shri Kala Bhairav Mandir in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the most mysterious and powerful temples in India, dedicated to Lord Kala Bhairav, a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva. One of the most unique and intriguing aspects of this temple is the offering of liquor (Madira) to Lord Kala Bhairav. Devotees offer liquor directly to the deity, and astonishingly, it is believed that the idol “drinks” it — the liquid seemingly disappears when poured on its lips. This practice has been followed for centuries and continues to be a divine mystery that draws thousands of curious pilgrims and researchers alike. The temple holds immense religious and tantric significance and is considered a guardian shrine of Ujjain, one of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism. According to ancient scriptures like the Shiva Purana and Avanti Khanda of Skanda Purana, Lord Shiva created Kala Bhairav to destroy ego and punish wrongdoers. When Lord Brahma grew arrogant, Shiva manifested as Bhairava and cut off one of Brahma’s five heads, symbolizing the destruction of pride. Since then, Bhairava has been worshipped as the Kshetrapal (protector) of Ujjain. Every temple in Ujjain is traditionally believed to be under the protection of one of the eight Bhairavas, with Kala Bhairav being the chief among them. The temple’s origins trace back to the Paramara dynasty, around the 8th century CE, and it is believed to have been built by King Bhadresen. Though the original temple has faced destruction and renovations over time, the present structure stands as a blend of Maratha and medieval architecture. The current temple was significantly renovated during the 18th century under Maratha rule, especially by the Scindias, who were ardent devotees of Lord Bhairav. One of the most unique and intriguing aspects of this temple is the offering of liquor (Madira) to Lord Kala Bhairav. Devotees offer liquor directly to the deity, and astonishingly, it is believed that the idol “drinks” it — the liquid seemingly disappears when poured on its lips. This practice has been followed for centuries and continues to be a divine mystery that draws thousands of curious pilgrims and researchers alike. The temple’s idol, carved from a single stone, displays a fearsome expression symbolizing the Lord’s power to destroy evil and grant protection. Despite his fierce form, devotees worship him with deep devotion, seeking his blessings for courage, justice, and the removal of negativity. The Shri Kala Bhairav Mandir comes alive during Kala Bhairav Ashtami, when thousands of devotees gather for special rituals and offerings. The temple remains a profound center of faith and mysticism, symbolizing Lord Shiva’s aspect as the eternal guardian of time and righteousness. Temple Timings: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 12:00 PM • Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:30 PM

Brathari Cave is a nice place to visit if you enjoy history and spirituality. The atmosphere is peaceful, but the cave is not very well maintained and facilities are limited. It’s good for a short visit, but not something that stands out as a must-see.

Caves are ok. They are very small. Do not rush into the caves when lot of people are there. It get a bit suffocating when too many people. Be patient and wait for your turn. The more calm and composed you are the more fun you will have.

Bhartrihari Gufa (caves) in Ujjain is a sacred cave complex on the shores of the River Kshipra, named after the legendary King Bhartrihari who is said to have meditated there for 12 years after renouncing his kingdom. The site features traditional rock-cut architecture, a tomb (samadhi) of the sage, a dhuni (fire for yoga), and is a peaceful spot for religious and historical tourism, though the narrow passages may not be suitable for everyone.

The ancient cave structure stands as a testament to the lives of people in the past, before the development of modern construction technologies. Under what circumstances did one of the great emperors encounter Saint Goraknath, receive his blessings, and learn valuable lessons about the superiority of a yogi's power, which encompasses the ability to both kill and give life, unlike the limitations of a king's authority?

The Shree Harsiddhi Shaktipith Temple, located in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is one of the 51 sacred Shaktipithas of Goddess Shakti and a major pilgrimage center for devotees of the Divine Mother. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Harsiddhi Mata, a powerful form of Goddess Parvati, and holds deep spiritual importance in Hinduism, symbolizing divine energy, victory, and protection. According to ancient legend, the temple’s origins trace back to the Shakti Peetha myth from the Devi Bhagavata Purana. When Sati, the consort of Lord Shiva, immolated herself at her father Daksha’s yagna, an enraged Shiva carried her body and performed the Tandava, the dance of destruction. To pacify him, Lord Vishnu released his Sudarshan Chakra, cutting Sati’s body into 51 pieces, which fell across various parts of India — each spot becoming a sacred Shakti Peetha. It is believed that Sati’s elbow (or upper arm) fell at Ujjain, sanctifying the site as the Harsiddhi Shaktipith. In this temple, Goddess Harsiddhi is worshipped along with Mahakali and Mahalakshmi, symbolizing strength, wealth, and wisdom — the three essential powers of the Goddess. The main deity, Harsiddhi Mata, is depicted in a dark vermilion-colored idol, signifying her fierce and protective nature. The Harsiddhi Temple also holds a strong association with Lord Shiva. According to another legend, when Lord Shiva was destroying demons, he sought help from Goddess Parvati. She appeared as Harsiddhi Mata and helped him defeat the powerful demon brothers Chanda and Munda, earning the name “Harsiddhi” — meaning “the one who grants all siddhis (powers) and success.” Hence, this temple stands as a symbol of divine victory and protection. The temple’s architecture reflects Maratha influence, with the current structure believed to have been renovated during the reign of Maratha ruler Ranoji Shinde in the 18th century. Two majestic deep stambhs (lamp towers) stand at the temple’s entrance, beautifully lit with hundreds of lamps during Navratri, creating a mesmerizing sight. Harsiddhi Mata is considered the Kuldevi (family goddess) of the Scindia royal family, who contributed to the temple’s maintenance and grandeur. The temple is also closely connected to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, located nearby, forming part of the sacred spiritual circuit of Ujjain. Today, the Shree Harsiddhi Shaktipith Temple continues to be a center of immense devotion, where thousands of devotees visit daily to seek the Goddess’s blessings for strength, prosperity, and victory over life’s challenges. Temple Timings: • Morning: 5:00 AM – 12:00 PM • Evening: 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Witnessed the traditional lighting of oil lamps at Shree Harsiddhi Mata Temple in Ujjain. At the entrance of the temple are two large lamp towers with hundreds of lamps. At around 6:30 pm every evening these lamps are lit by temple staff. They climb up the oily lamp tower and all these lamps are lit within around 3 minutes. Must be some sort of a record. The place is next to Ujjain Mahakaal temple and gets crowded around 30 minutes before the start of the event, as it is very popular among tourist who visit Ujain. Around 1 minute 20 seconds into the video, you will notice how fast the staff is lighting up the oil lamps. Remember the temple itself is many centuries old and its history is linked to Emperor Vikramaditya. The oil tower is itself slippery because of all the oil.

ChatGPT You said: Write about mamleshwar ChatGPT said: Sure 🙂 — here’s a clear and informative write-up about Mamleshwar Temple (also called Amreshwar Temple): Mamleshwar Temple (Amreshwar Temple), Omkareshwar Location: Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh, India Deity: Lord Shiva Significance: One of the ancient Shiva temples located near the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga 🌺 Overview Mamleshwar Temple, also known as Amreshwar Temple, is one of the two main temples situated on the banks of the sacred Narmada River at Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh. The other temple across the river is the famous Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India. While Omkareshwar represents the "Lord of Om", Mamleshwar (Amreshwar) is considered the "Immortal Lord". Both temples together are believed to complete the spiritual essence of the Jyotirlinga, and pilgrims usually visit both to complete their darshan. 🛕 Architecture The Mamleshwar Temple is an excellent example of ancient Nagara-style architecture. Built using sandstone, it features intricate carvings of deities, floral motifs, and mythological scenes. The temple has a massive Shivalinga made of smooth black stone. The peaceful and spiritual ambience is enhanced by the sound of the Narmada flowing nearby. 📜 Mythological Significance According to Hindu mythology, the Jyotirlinga of Omkareshwar appeared when Lord Shiva manifested as a pillar of divine light to prove his supremacy. The region’s name, Omkareshwar, comes from the island shaped like the sacred symbol “ॐ (Om).” It is believed that worshipping both Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar is necessary to receive the full blessings of the Jyotirlinga. 🧘‍♂️ Spiritual Importance Devotees believe that offering prayers at Mamleshwar brings: Peace and prosperity Relief from past karmas Divine blessings of Lord Shiva Visiting Mamleshwar Temple was a truly divine and peaceful experience. The moment I entered the temple complex, I felt a deep sense of calm — as if time had slowed down. The rhythmic sound of temple bells, the fragrance of incense, and the chanting of “Om Namah Shivaya” created a powerful spiritual aura. The temple’s ancient stone carvings and its sacred Shivalinga reflect centuries of devotion. Standing there, near the banks of the holy Narmada River, I could feel the purity of the place — a rare mix of energy and peace together. I offered water and flowers to Lord Shiva, and as the priest performed the aarti, the golden glow of lamps filled the temple with divine light. Watching the Narmada flow quietly beside the temple added a magical charm — it felt like the river herself was blessing every devotee who came there. The experience left me feeling spiritually refreshed and deeply connected — as if Lord Shiva was silently watching over everything.

Beautiful and Pleasent.. Temple management has done its best to manage people.. if they could arrange free van move for Elderly.. it would have been better.

It is sacred place to visit, it is most of most beautiful place outside a beautiful river narmada river is flowing. Looking amaze before visiting Mamleshwar jyotirlinga first you have to visit Omkareshwar temple then you follow the mamleshwar temple. It can take around 1+ hour in waiting. Better to carry water bottle with you in both the jyotirlinga darshan. Take a holy dip in Narmada river and have Darshan of both Jyotirlinga temple. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Mamleshwar Temple, also known as Amareshwar or Amreshwar, is a sacred temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is situated located on the southern bank of the Narmada River in Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh. It is situated on the mainland, directly opposite the Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga temple on Mandhata Island. The temple is known for its historical significance and sandstone architecture. The temple houses a revered Jyotirlinga and is considered equally important as the Omkareshwar temple, completing the pilgrimage circuit together. Date visited : 21.10.2025

That place has a certain energy, you know? Totally chill vibes, way more laid back. The air feels cleaner, like you can actually breathe. It's got that quiet hum that just makes you want to sit and soak it all in. Definitely less crowded, which is a huge plus. I could just wander around for hours. So peaceful, it's hard to describe. Om Namah Shivay!!

While it may be magical & all, no denying on that part - the management cannot get any worse! Someone definitely need to solve the chaos here. Else such an amazing place will become difficult for its devotees.

Considered as half Jyotriling. It’s is assumed that after darshan of mamleshwar shivling complete darshan is consider. Must attend Aarti there. Divine experience

Van Vihar National Park is often referred to as a “national park,” but in reality, it feels more like a large open zoo. Many of the animals are kept in enclosures, so don’t expect a completely wild safari experience. The park is set along a single straight road about 10–12 km long, which you can explore in different ways — on foot, by bicycle, bike, or car — with separate entry fees depending on your choice. It’s a very photogenic location, with plenty of spots where the greenery, lake views, and wildlife make for beautiful pictures. The best time to visit is early in the morning when the air is fresh and the crowds are minimal. If you plan to walk the whole route, wear sports shoes and comfortable clothing, as it can be a long stretch. On the other hand, if you’d rather not walk, bringing your own vehicle is a good option to cover the distance comfortably. One thing to keep in mind is that the park is not very shaded, so visiting on hot, sunny days can be tiring. Overall, it’s an “okay” place for a peaceful outing, especially for nature lovers and photographers who enjoy a calm environment without too much rush.

Very well maintained, delightful experience for nature lovers. Great sighting of varied wildlife animals. Unbelievable experience as it is right in the heart of the city. Must visit Van Vihar for a day with nature! Note: Tourists can avail the safari options provided by the Forest Department or register the 2 or 4 wheeler they are using for the safari.

Beautiful place! So green and there is river/lake flowing alongside. It feels surreal. Ticket cost is very less but the experience is amazing! They have a very clean and maintained national park. So spacious and we can find many animals there. The view is just breathtaking. Rare trees are also there, beautiful butterflies, tigers, bears, snakes, rabbits, rare birds, turtles and many more I have seen. They also have a beautiful cafe inside van vihar. They have scenic dining settings. Good options in the menu. I enjoyed a coffee there while gazing at the water below, observing beautiful and soothing ripples of flowing water. Well maintained place. Bikes and cars are allowed inside. Horn is not allowed to keep animals and other creatures at peace. Bicycles and e bikes are available for rent there at a very reasonable cost. Great experience overall.

Must visit tourist attraction of Bhopal. With the lake on one side and animals on the other. There are lot of peacocks 🦚around. Lot of different birds. It’s hard to get the glimpse of tiger 🐯 and leopards 🐆. As their cage are huge. Entry fee for car is 300 rupees. They tell you to not honk while driving. But some dumb people still honk and disturb the animals. So please remember this while you visit next time.

Van Vihar National Park is the perfect spot to spend a peaceful morning or evening in Bhopal. Whether you prefer walking, cycling, riding your Scooty, or driving through in your car, the park is designed to accommodate all. On one side, you’re treated to the calm beauty of the Upper Lake, and on the other, lush greenery surrounds you — it’s truly the best of both worlds. The park is a great place to catch a breathtaking sunrise or sunset by the lake. You’ll also come across a variety of animals, birds, and butterflies, making it a serene escape into nature. There’s a charming little café by the lakeside inside the park — a nice place to sit and unwind, though the prices are slightly on the higher side. I’d also recommend renting a cycle from outside (either your own or the electric ones available nearby) for a more enjoyable and comfortable experience as the cycles available inside are mostly partially broken. A must-visit for nature lovers and anyone looking to slow down and take in the beauty of Bhopal.

Van vihar National park and open zoo combination with free walking tail . Many animals and very good think about animals interpretation centres .

Van Vihar National Park is a serene, well‑managed wildlife haven set within Bhopal’s city limits. It offers an enriching blend of ecological restoration, conservation education, and urban nature‑escape. It’s great for families, school groups, birders, and anyone seeking wildlife charm without long-distance travel.

The Bhojeshwar Mahadev Temple is an 11th-century incomplete Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in Bhojpur, near Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. It is famous for housing one of the largest Shiva Lingams in the world, which stands over 7.5 feet tall and is carved from a single stone. The temple is considered an architectural marvel, notable for its massive construction, intricate carvings, and the remaining architectural plans and ramps used in its construction

The Bhojpur Shivling is closely associated with the unfinished Bhojeshwar Temple, believed to have been commissioned in the 11th century by King Bhoja of the Paramara dynasty. The temple is renowned for its massive monolithic Shiva lingam, standing about 2.3 meters tall, which is regarded as the largest of its kind in India. Although the construction was abruptly discontinued for reasons that remain uncertain, the site today holds the status of a Monument of National Importance and is preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

We have such rich history and beautiful places to visit. However there is no conservation attempt. The place needs to to be maintained cleanly. Had a great darshan. Jai shiv shankar

🌟 A beautiful and peaceful temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. The huge Shiva Lingam is breathtaking, and the calm surroundings make it a perfect spot for both spirituality and history lovers. 🙏

Shivalingan is superb or I would say exclusive and the place is also vibrating, but the society and governments have not done their job properly. Bhojeshwar temple of Bhojpur is very important, not only for religion or Hindu people, but also for Indian history and culture.

An unfinished temple with a large shivling. History says it was build in a night. Has a huge shivlinga which is a treat to the eyes. The temple brings positive energy. The view from the top of the hill is fabulous. A must visit place.

If you want to experience Historical vibes must visit this place. You will see the lot of hand made painting by humans. Their caves. And thanks to Madhya Pradesh Government they maintain all things properly. We enjoy afternoon here.

The Bhimbetka Caves, located within the boundaries of the Ratapani Tiger Reserve in Raisen district, southern Madhya Pradesh, about 40 km from Bhopal, are a group of seven hills made of quartzite rocks, part of the Vindhya Hills. They were first discovered by V.S. Wakankar during his train journey from Bhopal to Itarsi in 1957. Bhimbetka is the oldest evidence of paintings and habitation by early humans in the Indian subcontinent. The Bhimbetka paintings date from the Upper Paleolithic period (approximately 40,000 BC - 10,000 BC) to the historical period (first millennium BC), suggesting that the area was inhabited for a long time. Approximately 650 caves in Bhimbetka are painted, but only 15 are open to tourists. Animals are predominant in the Bhimbetka paintings. According to one study, 29 species of animals are depicted, including elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, blackbucks, and wild buffaloes, which are not currently found in the region. Sixteen colors are used in these paintings, with white and red being the most prevalent. Animals are depicted either independently or in hunting scenes. Some paintings may have had ritualistic purposes. Human figures are depicted in geometric patterns. An examination of these paintings reveals the gender division of labor prevalent in that period: men are mostly depicted in hunting scenes, while women are depicted in activities such as food gathering and preparation.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 Stars – A Mind-Blowing Journey Back in Time! The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka are honestly one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to — it’s like stepping straight into prehistory! 😍 The vibe here is unreal — surrounded by hills, forests, and ancient rock formations, you can literally feel the history in the air. The prehistoric cave paintings are the real showstopper. Some of them are over 10,000 years old, yet still so vivid and expressive. It’s wild to think that early humans once lived, danced, and hunted right here. The artwork tells stories — from daily life to rituals — and it’s crazy how creative and advanced they were back then. The place is super well-maintained, with clear paths, helpful signs, and peaceful surroundings. It’s quiet, serene, and perfect for anyone who loves nature, history, or just wants a chill escape from the city chaos. If you’re visiting Bhopal or anywhere nearby, Bhimbetka is an absolute must-visit. It’s not just a tourist spot — it’s an experience that connects you to the roots of human civilization. 🌄 ✨ Totally 5/5 stars — breathtaking, historical, and straight-up magical!

The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka, at the southern edge of the Vindhya Range about 45 kilometers southeast of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, form one of the most extraordinary windows into prehistoric human life. Spread across seven hills—Vinayaka, Bhonrawali, Bhimbetka, Lakha Juar East and West, Jhondra, and Muni Babaki Pahari—the site contains over 750 natural sandstone shelters stretching nearly 10 kilometers. Surrounded by the dense greenery of the Ratapani Wildlife Sanctuary, the setting is serene yet powerful, with towering rock formations above forested valleys where humanity left its earliest marks. Archaeological evidence suggests Bhimbetka has been inhabited for more than 100,000 years, making it the oldest known human settlement in the Indian subcontinent. It bears traces of all major prehistoric phases—from the Lower Paleolithic to the Mesolithic, Chalcolithic, and early historic periods. The earliest inhabitants were hunter-gatherers who used these natural shelters for protection. Over millennia, they recorded their lives on sandstone walls with vivid mineral pigments, creating one of the world’s richest collections of prehistoric art. The rock paintings of Bhimbetka reveal an unbroken story of human creativity and community. The oldest, dating to around 10,000 BCE, depict large animals—bison, tigers, rhinoceroses, and bears—creatures that once roamed these forests. These bold, energetic images express primal vitality. Later Mesolithic paintings show humans hunting, dancing, and playing instruments, reflecting communal life. With the Chalcolithic period appear motifs of agriculture, domestic life, and geometric patterns, marking the transition from nomadic to settled communities. Later artworks depict warriors, processions, religious symbols, and mythical motifs, signs of organized society and the dawn of history. This artistic continuity makes Bhimbetka a living chronicle of human evolution and belief. Successive layers of paintings reveal changing cultures and environments. In some shelters, such as Bhonrawali and Lakha Juar, new generations painted over older ones, forming a striking visual record of time. The colors, made from hematite, manganese oxides, and plant extracts, have withstood centuries, still glowing on crimson sandstone under soft forest light. The site’s modern discovery is equally fascinating. Long revered by local tribes as a sacred site linked to Bhima of the Mahabharata, its scientific importance was recognized in 1957 by archaeologist V. S. Wakankar, who noticed its resemblance to prehistoric sites in Europe. Excavations uncovered Acheulean tools, microliths, hearths, and artifacts comparable to the world’s earliest human settlements. In 2003, Bhimbetka was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site under criteria (iii) and (v), honoring its testimony to human cultural development and its enduring connection between people and their natural landscape. Nearby Adivasi traditions still echo the themes seen in these ancient paintings, preserving continuity across ages. Visiting Bhimbetka is a humbling experience. The shelters open like chapters of an ancient story, each revealing scenes from forgotten eras frozen in pigment and stone. The silence of the forest deepens one’s sense of kinship with humanity’s earliest ancestors. The murmur of wind across the rocks and the distant calls of birds evoke a time when art was life itself, a sacred expression of being. The Rock Shelters of Bhimbetka stand today not merely as an archaeological site but as a timeless testament to human imagination, endurance, and the universal need to leave one’s story upon the earth.

Bhimbetka is renowned for its ancient rock shelters that preserve some of India’s earliest known cave paintings, dating from the Paleolithic through Mesolithic and later historical eras. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area includes hundreds of painted shelters—over 400 in total— illustrating hunting scenes, dancing figures, and various animals, offering valuable insight into the lifestyle and creativity of prehistoric humans.

Bhimbetka is known for its prehistoric rock shelters with some of the oldest cave paintings in India. It’s an UNESCO World Heritage Site and has a large collection of shelters, with over 400 of them featuring paintings on hunting, dancing, and animals thereby providing a glimpse into the lives of early humans. Situated about 45 kms from Bhopal it is one of the tourist attractions. (Date of visit 18.10.2025)

A nice place to have a glimpse of the early days of human. A very well maintained place with Guide facility. It takes around 1 hour to visit all the caves.

World Famous Archeological Monument that is significant from a historical and religious standpoint. Relics of Buddhist monks abound in and around and add to the sanctity of this ancient site. The main Stupa has 4 gates in each direction. The ASI (Archeological Survey of India) has maintained the site beautifully and added a few attractions like a sound & light show and a museum.

This stupa is located in the 'Buddhist Monuments of Sanchi'. Similar in shape to Stupa 1, but much smaller in size, this stupa is believed to have housed the relics of two of the Buddha's disciples. There is only one intricately carved gateway. Actually this is the first monument one sees after entering the complex.

Stupa 3 (स्तूप 3) at Sanchi is another significant Buddhist monument located near the Great Stupa (Stupa No. 1). Though smaller in size, it holds great historical and spiritual value. Key Facts about Stupa 3: Location: Sanchi, Madhya Pradesh, India Period: Built in the 2nd century BCE during the Shunga period Purpose: Houses the relics of two prominent Buddhist monks—Sariputta and Mahamaudgalyayana, the chief disciples of Gautama Buddha

Stupa 3 is a small version of the main stupa located in the Buddhist monument complex in Sanchi. It's much smaller in size and has less carvings, but it still makes a pretty sight. The Stupa is in a good condition and it's said that a century back the remains of Buddha’s loyal disciples were recovered from the inner halls of the stupa by the British archeologists.

STUPA No.3 -(SECOND CENTURY B.C.) The relics of the Buddha's two chief disciples were found in the ruins of Stupa No.3 at Satdhara (six and a half miles west of Sanchi) which measured about forty feet in diameter and was smaller than the Great Stupa.

A small but beautiful Stupa (next to the grand Stupa no 1) that supposedly held the relics of one of Buddha's first disciples. It's in a good condition because it has been restored to a large extent by the British and ASI.

Stupa 3 at Sanchi may be smaller than the Great Stupa, but it's equally impressive in its own right. It has beautifully carved gateways (toranas) similar in style to those of Stupa 1, showcasing fine craftsmanship and detailed storytelling through stone. Historically, it is significant as it is believed to contain relics of two of Buddha’s chief disciples—Sariputta and Moggallana. The peaceful surroundings and the spiritual aura make it a special spot for both history lovers and those seeking a moment of calm. A must-visit while exploring the Sanchi complex.

Small but very beautiful. Next to stupa 1 so you cannot miss it anyway.

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.

The serene ecosystem and the Dhupgarh Fall are few of the main attraction here.

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 short trek down is totally worth it one of the best places to visit in Pachmarhi What a heavenly place! The beauty of Bee Fall left me speechless. 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.

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.

It is a nice place to visit with family and friends. Small compact place. You can enjoy water cascades and also Amphitheatre. Zero mile Metro station is located here. Walkway shows history and importance of nagpur.

We visited the Zero Mile Freedom Fighter Park during our last trip to Nagpur, and it was a peaceful and memorable experience. The park is well-maintained and beautifully landscaped, offering a calm escape in the heart of the city. The highlight, of course, is the historical Zero Mile Stone and the monuments dedicated to freedom fighters. It’s a place that evokes pride and respect for India’s history. The information boards are informative and add educational value to the visit. It’s a great spot for a relaxed walk, quiet reflection, or simply spending time with family. The atmosphere was clean, and the surroundings felt safe and inviting. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Nagpur and interested in heritage and patriotism.

Beautifully designed park with theme of Nagpur metro and Zero mile. You can see the demo of Nagpur metro and story behind it. Also you will come to know the history of zero mile.Colourful fountains are present there along with selfie points.It is situated besides the Freedom park metro station.It is best to visit at evening.

Small but airy and beautiful park. You can take Beautiful pictures and learn the history of metro in Nagpur. Also a fountain, colourful flowers and a tank 👍

Freedom Park is really a great place in Nagpur, it is close to zero mile We always go there for shows, events and programs presented by youth or lokmat times . it's really a beautiful place

Nice space for a small event like a drum circle as it has an amphitheater. Better to visit at night when the lights come on. A T55 army tank adorns the park with a history wall that has information about Nagpur.

Very nice and beautiful temple in nagpur. It is situated on the Station Road in Nagpur, Sri Ganesh Mandir Tekri is a Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The temple boasts of rich architecture; the idol of Ganesha can be seen seated under a tree inside the premises of the temple. Tekdi Ganesh Temple is said to be 250 years old. The shrine of Lord Ganesha is believed to be self-existent, and its size is increasing over a period. During the early years, Tekdi Ganapati Temple used to be an ordinary shrine with a tin shade and a small platform.

Shri Ganesh Mandir Tekdi is one of the most peaceful and spiritually uplifting places in Nagpur. Located near the railway station, the temple sits atop a small hill (“Tekdi”), making the visit feel special and calming right from the climb. The moment you enter, you feel a strong sense of devotion and serenity. The idol of Lord Ganesh is beautifully adorned, and the atmosphere is filled with positive energy. The temple is clean, well-maintained, and the surroundings are always pleasant for a short walk or quiet time. Despite being a popular temple, the darshan is usually smooth. This is a perfect place to start your day with blessings or to spend a few quiet minutes away from the city rush.

Title: A Sacred Hilltop Abode of Lord Ganesha – Shri Ganesh Mandir Tekdi, Nagpur’s Timeless Treasure Location: Perched atop Tekdi Hill (a prominent landmark in Nagpur), Shri Ganesh Mandir Tekdi is one of the city’s oldest and most revered temples dedicated to Lord Ganesha. Situated near Central Railway Station, this hillock shrine offers panoramic views of Nagpur and is a spiritual haven for devotees and history enthusiasts alike. First Impressions: The temple’s serene location, surrounded by lush greenery and rocky terrain, sets it apart from urban chaos. A short climb up the well-maintained steps leads to the temple complex, where the simplicity of its ancient architecture evokes a sense of timeless devotion. The white-painted structure, crowned with a traditional Maratha-style dome, blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the hill. Spiritual Ambiance: The sanctum sanctorum enshrines a self-manifested (swayambhu) idol of Lord Ganesha, believed to be centuries old. The idol, adorned with fresh flowers and vibrant chandrika (vermilion), exudes divine grace. The atmosphere is charged with devotion, amplified by the rhythmic ringing of bells and collective chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya!” The morning and evening aartis are particularly soul-stirring, drawing crowds of locals and pilgrims. Unique Rituals & Offerings: Devotees perform abhishek with holy water, coconut, and flowers, seeking Lord Ganesha’s blessings for success and obstacle removal. A special ritual involves offering modaks (sweet dumplings), Lord Ganesha’s favorite treat, which are later distributed as prasad. The temple also holds significance during Ganesh Chaturthi, though its tranquil vibe contrasts with the city’s grand public celebrations, offering a more intimate worship experience. Historical Significance: This temple is deeply intertwined with Nagpur’s history. It is said to have been a place of worship for the Bhonsle dynasty rulers and is among the oldest Ganesha temples in Maharashtra. The hill itself is believed to have geological and spiritual importance, adding layers of cultural heritage to the site. Facilities & Cleanliness: The temple premises are well-maintained, with clean pathways and designated areas for footwear. Drinking water facilities and shaded seating spots are available, though the climb might be challenging for elderly visitors. The small marketplace at the base of the hill sells flowers, coconuts, and souvenirs. Community & Hospitality: The priests (pujaris) are approachable and deeply knowledgeable about the temple’s history. Regular devotees often share fascinating anecdotes about the temple’s legacy, enhancing the visit. The temple’s role as a community anchor is evident during festivals, where locals volunteer enthusiastically. Surroundings & Accessibility: The temple’s hilltop location provides breathtaking views of Nagpur, especially during sunrise and sunset. Nearby attractions include the historic Sitabuldi Fort and bustling markets of Sadar. Auto-rickshaws and taxis can drop visitors at the base of the hill, but parking space is limited. The climb involves ~100 steps, so comfortable footwear is recommended. Festive Highlights: - Ganesh Chaturthi: Though low-key compared to public pandals, the temple is beautifully decorated with lights and flowers. Special bhajans and cultural programs are organized. - Nag Panchami: The hill’s natural setting adds charm to this festival, with rituals honoring serpent deities. Tips for Visitors: - Timings: 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM (extended during festivals). - Footwear: Remove shoes before climbing the final steps to the sanctum. - Photography: Respect signage; avoid photography inside the sanctum. - Best Time to Visit: Early morning for tranquility or sunset for scenic views. Final Thoughts: Shri Ganesh Mandir Tekdi is not just a temple—it’s a journey through Nagpur’s spiritual and historical roots. The combination of devotion, natural beauty, and ancient heritage makes it a must-visit.

Very Great & Divine Experience. Ican already experience Bappa removing obstacles in my live. Must pay visit once you're in Nagpur

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.

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.

Best place to experience calmness & wildlife. Extreme discipline makes the place more blissful. One of the very clean & structured forest region in India.

Safari Experience: The thrill of spotting a tiger in its natural habitat is unmatched—though sightings depend on luck, the excitement of the chase itself is worth it. • Wildlife: Apart from tigers, the reserve is home to leopards, sloth bears, wild dogs, and countless bird species—making it a paradise for nature lovers. • Scenery: Dense teak forests, open grasslands, and serene lakes create a beautiful mix of landscapes. • Management: Safaris are well-structured with trained guides, but bookings should be done in advance since it’s a popular destination. • Overall: A must-visit for wildlife enthusiasts. Even if you don’t spot a tiger, the sheer immersion in raw nature makes it worth the trip.

This is 💯 guarantee kind of place where YOU WILL spot tigers 🐅. Not just one but the whole family! The local safari guides will help you identify the tigers by their name and tag - Madhuri, Sharmili, B1 , B2 etc, All you need is a good DSLR and patience to capture some great shots!

I thoroughly enjoyed the place. Visited May last week and June first week. Booked kolara buffer and Navegaon Core. Both days we got tiger sightings. First day Taras 2 Cubs and Second day Junabai 2 Cubs. All 4 of them are 1.5 years old and we saw them from less than 10ft.

Excellent, well managed tiger reserve. I'm a regular visitor and ice always found it well managed and helpful staff manning the vehicles. Of late visitors coming in late often want the game drivers to aggressively maneuver for a better photo. Hopefully this is a one off observation and game wardens discourage such practice. India has a great record with tigers and people should be more patient and respectful of tiger habitats

If you are keen to sight tigers then make sure you get a good guide and a naturalist. The jungle offers a lot of variety with respect to flora and fauna, birds and other animal species - to name a few rare ones - wild dogs, wild boars, barking deers, badgers, rare birds, etc. However the guide would not tell you anything and everything - their only objective is to get you a tiger sighting. In this process we loose the complete essence of the jungle and a general awareness of the wide variety of species, their calls and behaviours and their adaptations. We got a naturalist in our first Safari which proved out to be extremely awesome and satisfying as he gave us valuable information around the jungle which doesn't meet the eyes of us city dwellers. However, on the second safari, we had a very unpleaseful and distatsteful experience with our guide Mr. Mahendra Meshram. In the 4 hour Safari he parked the gypsy at just one place in the jungle for around 3 hours trying to get a tiger sighting. Despite our insistence to move around and explore, he outrightly chose to ignore our ask and stay at that one point until the end of the safari. The worst part we couldn't sight any tiger despite spending the whole of the safari at a single point. The other gypsies who went past us to tour the jungle area got tiger sightings as well as Cheetah, which are very rare - which made us feel even more bitter. Moral - Beware of such overconfident guides who give false promises of tiger sightings and in general ruin your complete safari. Even the forest department should take cognizance of this and embark on some efforts to educate and train such guides and try to give them a good perspective. Although the tourists maybe attracted to tigers but it is the duty of the local guides to make sure they learn about the forest culture, their unique inhabitants and the rare species and visual treats they offer.

Nestled in the heart of Maharashtra, Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and nature lovers.

The morning safaris offer a magical view of the misty forests, while the evening safaris bring out the golden hues of the setting sun. The lush greenery, dense woods, and serene water bodies make it a dream for nature photographers. While there aren’t many historical palaces in the sanctuary itself, the surrounding region has ancient temples and heritage sites, which add to the cultural significance of the area. The accommodation options near Nagzira range from forest rest houses to eco-resorts, but it's advisable to book in advance, especially during peak seasons. One downside is the limited food options near the sanctuary, so carrying essentials is recommended. However, the experience of being in such a pristine forest more than makes up for it. Overall, Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary is a must-visit for those seeking a true wildlife adventure, away from commercialized tourist hubs. A perfect blend of tranquility, adventure, and breathtaking natural beauty! 🌿🐅✨

We saw wild dogs (dhols), a female leopard, langur, spotted deer, sambar deer, nilgai, peacocks, gaur, wild boar, owl in the space of three safaris. The Central Indian jungle gives a serene feeling and it was very soothing to experience nature and wildlife from an open Jeep. Our driver and guide were friendly and knew the forest well though we had to often poke them to tell us few things. We stayed at FDCM Nagzira resort and it was quite a unique experience to stay inside the core zone of a tiger reserve. Few people saw a leopard couple at the resort restaurant at night and there are almost always deer and langurs very close to the restaurant.

Went there in last week ie Oct 17 Booked online, morning slot Forest was quite dense and cool, guide was also good, but sad part is was not able to locate many species there. As per discussion with guide if you wanna see good amount of animals than go there near June evening slot.

Very huge forest and it is divided in to two parts the old part is very nice and the new part of the jungle is full of green tress flowers and other plants but very few animals are in the new part of forest . If your new to visit the forest go for the old part of the forest and spend atleast 2 days so that you can enjoy the whole jungle. There is also vary nice facility of resort inside the forest by the government also there are various private resort available in which you can get rooms through online booking. Kaur type nagzira resort. Now days 5tigers are in the forest and various different type of birds you can see in this forest . Most possibility of seeing wild dogs . If your lucky u can have citations of tiger and leopard 🐆. Many of photogenic people came for having great nature pictures . Only come before rainy season during summer.there is more chance to see the whole animals of the jungle.

This mall is making few changes in interior that's good without hindering people's activities, I don't know why but now they closed keventers here so last time our only option was CCD and also their food court needs few changes as the quality of Chinese, waffles and other extra couses are not up to the mark either they should bring belgium waffles or in meals they should replace moti mahal from some other meal like lunch box or good bowl. One more enhancement they can do is only BB (baskin and robins) is available inspite "Gianis" Should be provided an opportunity as these are few outlets who provide quality with best prices which most of the people will enjoy in exchange of money. Suta brand which I used to order sarees earlie in delhi is here now though in "zora" It's yet to come.As last Saturday 13 sep I went to Zora and found very less crowd also it has larger capacity but brands are new so no offers for us to enjoy although interior is beautiful but people enjoy crowd at weekends so it will take time for it to develope. Back to magnato clothing brands are good here in my last review I compared amonst other malls in raipur but here I would like few updates in this mall along with its exterior look. Follow my insta handel "soundarya_ ashley". Soon I am going to create contents in my insta as I got all gagets in this rakhi as a gift also you people appritiated my writings alot so thankyou all.
