The City Of Joy




Passing the cakelicious town we move ahead to the city of forts and an archaic of Afghan and Hindu architecture. 

We present you the town of Madhya Pradesh, Mandav!

Better known as Mandu, the city of joy is a town of district Dhar. It attracts tourist all because of its rich ancient architecture and the freshness it instils in oneself. The mesmerizing aura around takes the excitement to a whole new level.


A 95 km journey all begins at Indore for Mandu..... :D

And get ready to dive into the lakes of Mandu and revive yourself with some great megawatts of energy..... :P

Sail with us into the Jahaz Mahal... As the name suggests itself Jahaz resembles a ship and the palace is no less than a sailing ship on the lakes it has on the front and rear ends.



Mandu is a place that helps one rejuvenate good old days of their childhood... Swing was an integral part of your writers’ childhood for they grew fighting for their chance to swing and would just not satisfy themselves letting the other one swing peacefully. :P

Same is the Swing Palace or well known as Hindola Place in Mandu with slant walls remembering of the swings....

The fort state provides all the way with palaces and styles of architecture to be complimented.


The rocky surface covered with layers of greenery and the monsoon season adds on to the beauty of place. The Mahals in Mandu bring life back to the earlier era and deliver a sense of royalty.



Huff!! After viewing all these beautiful palaces you will be damn hungry and would rush to satisfy the roar of your stomach. :P

So now bringing you some of the best places to eat in Mandu including Shivani Restaurant, a place famous for “Dal Bafla” (M.P. walo ki khaasam khaas dish :P), majorly serving Rajasthani and Punjabi food (pure veg). One can see the posters while entering as it enjoys the monopoly and doing great marketing. 


“Rupmati Hoteloffers a budgeted stay and experience in the serene beauty. The best part of this hotel is the view it offers i.e., a valley view from gallery which amazes tourists. Wohhoo what a feeling it would be to get up early in the morning and sipping your tea with such a view. Also the food, staff and service is good enough.

The mouth watering roadside Bhutte or Corn stalls on the way to and from Mandu has always overwhelmed your writers’ to an extent of attaining the absolute and the godly experience in the rain shed days is just a perfect reason to visit archaic land. :P



And whilst corn is being discussed the white tamarind of Mandu shall not be left untried. Grab one hopefully one only would be sufficient to bring the chills of sour to someone. The big round tamarind is a delight the town offers. :D


Special for sight-seeing the area provides a well nurtured and holistic view and flourishes with tourist all over the year. A night stay at Mandu can be fun with a group doing a campfire, with a subtle music, friends, and food! :D

A trek at Mandu is neither a bad idea. Your writers’ haven’t tried one. :P

Have a happy and a royal visit to Mandu! :D :)
