Brief

Discover Madhya Pradesh’s royal heritage and traditional crafts on this immersive 14-night journey. Trace a course from a former royal hunting lodge at Kathiwada to the residence of queens at Maheshwar and the monument-filled royal capital of Mandu.  En route, stop at craft villages to see hand block printing and age-old weaving techniques. You’re never too far from nature in Central India. 


Trek in the wilderness and sail down the Narmada. On jeep safaris and quiet boat rides, you’ll explore the Satpura and Panna National Parks, both thriving reserve forests filled with large cats, stealthy snakes, and a plethora of bird life. We’ll take you deep into the countryside to experience the charm of village life, and then into bustling cities like Bhopal and Delhi, buzzing with busy markets and fine museums. Nature, culture, or history – there’s something for every kind of traveller in Madhya Pradesh.
