The royal Jehan Numa Palace is definitely one of the best hotels to stay when in Bhopal. An erstwhile palace, the main building’s layout is an absolute delight. One enters from a small reception area with a lobby decorated with artifacts and photos of a regal past. Beyond the door, straight ahead, lies […]
We chose Welcome Heritage’s Golf View hotel for our three-night stay in Pachmarhi. Apparently built on the land that once used to be the little town’s golf grounds, you will fall in love with the place the moment you set your eyes on it. Built in sprawling grounds and greenery, the […]
Well, we discovered, that’s all what you pretty much do in Pachmarhi – caves and waterfalls hopping!

On the contrary, there are quite a few interesting places which should be a part of your must-visit list when in Ganapatipule. For the starters, there is the famous Ganapati temple right at the […]
