The pre-historic cave paintings depict life in the Neolithic age.
This is an awesome place for a day trip near Bhopal. There are some 15 caves with rock painting from various eras of human history. The view from the site is great and so is the drive up the hill. The place is very well organised and it ends up being a small hike around the hill as you tour through the caves.

Visited this unique place showing how thousands year ago mankind was living in most natural dwelling that is rock shelter.A place surrounded by green jungle .I travelled solo by taking a bus to Hoshangabad ,from ISBT Bhopal ,got down at BHimbetaka corner about 3 km ahead of Obwdullah Ganj.A 3km well maintained road with around 450 ft rise takes to to the caves.Around 15 caves are open to be visited by tourists.

These caves are situated on roadside...a separate road reaches udaigiri...8 kms from sanchi. Udayagiri caves , under the ASI now , are better cared for

Great place to see, almost 300 stairs down in the middle of the forest, green water makes it soothing, very natural and ancient Pandava's caves are unforgettable, must visit there.

This place is interesting for any history lover. Old caves with beautiful carvings especially the varaha relief and the sheshayi Vishnu are stunning. Not too many tourists visit.

Underground caves where Bhartrihari ji,Sri gorakh nath ji and many other great saints of Naath lineage prayed.Nice temples and you have to go underground for the caves.Be cautious as air is very stuffy underground.Even today you can feel the love of God in these great saints and get touched by them.
