Gems of Malwa

Our trip starts in Mandu-situated at the heart of the country and set against the backdrop of the Vindhya Range. this ancient fortress town perches atop a sparsely forested plateau. It is believed Mandu was built in the 6th century. and has seen the rise and fall of many dynasties. As a result, it houses some of the finest examples of architecture in India and is home to the poignant love story of Rani Roopmati and Baz Bahadur.

Explore the grand architecture of a once powerful kingdom-Rewa Kund. Baz Bahadur Palace. and Roopmati Pavilion are the sites visited. Other points of architectural glory include the Jahaz Mahal. Jami Mosque. Hoshang Shah’s Tomb. Ashrafi Mahal, and Neelkanth Temple.

Mandu is at its greenest and most beautiful during and just after the monsoons.

We then head to Maheshwar-on the banks of the Narmada and the mainstay of the Holkar dynasty. Visit the many exquisite temples on the ghat, acquaint yourself with the history of Ahilyabai Holkar and feast your eyes on the exquisite Maheshwari sarees woven over here. Intricate designs and vibrant colours make for sheer delight-and we arrange for you to visit the local weavers and NGOs
