 Madhya
Pradesh is the heart and also the largest state of india. The most
important destination in Madhya Pradesh is, without any doubt,
Khajuraho . This
World Heritage Site with its impressive carved temples, must be on the menu
of every tourist. Although only a small group of all the temples have
erotic carvings, this is the main reason for the popular reputation of
Khajuraho.
It is strange that such a large state does not attract that many
visitors, not in the least because two of India’s best national parks (Kanhha
and Bandhavgarh) are located in this state. Besides that, the fort of
Gwalior in the north is worth a visit. The capital
Bhopal with its
parks, big mosque and lakes is also a good place to stay and from which to
explore Sanchi . The latter is an important Buddhist site where the stupas
and monasteries will keep you occupied for at least a day.
Finally, the city of Bijapur deserves a detour as well. It has an
impressive mosque and in the surrounding area you can lay your eyes on some
of the finest Hindu architecture in Madhya Pradesh, if not India as a whole. |
