Madhya Pradesh (MP; /ˈmʌdjə prəˈdɛʃ/ ( listen); meaning Central Province) is a state in central India. Its capital is Bhopal and the largest city is Indore with Jabalpur, Gwalior, and Ujjain being the other major cities. Nicknamed the "Heart of India" due to its geographical location in India, Madhya Pradesh is the second-largest state in the country by area. With over 75 million inhabitants, it is the fifth-largest state in India by population. It borders the states of Uttar Pradesh to the northeast, Chhattisgarh to the southeast, Maharashtra to the south, Gujarat to the west, and Rajasthan to the northwest. Its total area is 308,252 km. Before 2000, when Chhattisgarh was a part of Madhya Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh was the largest state in India and the distance between the two furthest points inside the state, Singoli and Konta, was 1500 km. Konta is presently in Sukma district of Chattisgarh state.

Magnificent temples built between 950 A.D. and 1050 A.D.
These temples especially the ones in the western group of temples are well preserved and are wonderful examples of the best temple architecture. One thing that is really unique in Khajuraho is that daily life in contemporary time is depicted beautifully in sculptures on the walls. Gives the best historical evidence of how liberated and equal partners women were to men in the Sanatana Dharma culture prior to Islamic invasions. One has to get over the superficial view of eroticism to get to the real meaning behind the sculptures and get the concept of transforming sexual energy into spiritual energy. A good guide with a spiritual understanding of the temple sculptures would be very helpful.

If you tell any one that "i will be visiting Jabalpur" he will immediately respond " You must visit Dhuandhar" this place is associated with the identity of Jabalpur. at "Dhuandhar you can witness the roaring water fall, with great velocity & magnitude , from a decent height in a valley of beautiful white marble rocks . witnessing this fall brings a mix emotions of thrill, adventure, admire for the beauty of nature. the rope way tour above the fall (across the river) gives an another opportunity to have a panoramic view of the water fall. if you are traveling with young kids and elderly people than be careful for the safety, and it requires a little walking . public amenities like washrooms etc. still need to be developed and maintained.

Iam traveling for memories I do photography as well and so I am always in seek for good place. I am from Mumbai so me and my friends were searching over the weekend place to a visit. where I can practice photography and explore a new place. I was ready to explore MP i read that it have amazing monuments and rich culture.the forts are very much healthy and open for tourist with light shows. with good amount of research, we finally decided to visit Jhansi and orrccha which is in Madhyapradesh.place was historical rich and famous for food as well like gajak,jalebi,kachori etc. Traveling:The major railway station is Jhansi JHS which is big and famous railway station.city dont have airport yet but yes Gwalior is nearest airport situated 2 hrs away. stay:Its a famous and big railway stations so you have many hotels and hostels.I prefer to stay near orccha so thati can explore that for and temple in the evening.also i attended light and sound show. Attraction:so once you reach city then we have jhansi and orrcha to explore.orccha is 30 min away from city by bus\auto.sometimes share auto takes more time so just prefer direct auto.both locations you can travel normally dont go for one day tour it will cost more.places are nearby so you can manage.but if you want to mange all one one day they you should really hire something because its manageable to cover all in a day Orccha:The historic town of Orchha, nestled on the banks of river Betwa, was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap. Here, the river Betwa splits into seven channels, also called the Satdhara. Jahangir Mahal Ram Raja Temple Chhatris Chaturbhuja Temple Laxminarayan Temple Raj Mahal Food: SEESH MAHAL HOTEL is famous around Orccha also you will find many local hotels where on demand you will get served hot. expenses: This totally depends on you how you wanna travel.if you want to travel by local bus then its reasonable i did this in 1700 with food 2000 maybe because I am foodie :)

During Pachmarhi sightseeing, we recommend to visit Bee fall. In order to visit Bee fall, you need to use gypsy as here you need to first buy visitor ticket and private cars are allowed to certain limit only, due to challenging geographical condition. Further journey is possible either by gypsy or by walking. This site also demands good physical fitness as it involves trekking. Carrying own water bottle is recommended. For senior citizens, our suggestion is to first check then proceed. Here bathing is allowed but it is better to enjoy the nature from distance and do not spoil the place by littering, shouting, disturbing other visitors.

Natural limestone rocks which guard both the banks of Narmada river . Interacting with water has given them myriad texture and colors. White, Cream, Grey, Brown and Blue are all the colors that you can see in these few kms stretch. Naturally formed jagged lines and creative shapes ( Shiva, Sadhu, Bird) you can spot a many during the winding boat ride in the Narmada river , nestled in a valley of these breathtaking limestone rocks. Thankfully the filth and litter that humans create around a 'ghat' is completely missing . So you actually end up experiencing pristine nature . Gushing water, sculptural rocks within a 30 mins road drive from the city of Jabalpur. Pay extra and take the private ferry to boat deeper in Bhedaghat . If you don't mind the 'bollywood shooting ' peppered stories of the boat guys , the ride will be even more interesting . Its a definite activity when visiting Madhya Pradesh or even India as a tourist
