Welcome readers!
Hope you are in a great
health and doing awesome in your lives!
Guys we have something
really special and exciting this time! How about spending a whole month in
Madhya Pradesh?
Seems Dull!?
Let me give you some
really important information about the upcoming event at Madhya Pradesh in
April.
It is “Simhastha
Kumbh”.
Didn’t get that?
A once in twelve year
events is Kumbh. An epical origin place holds its root deep into the times of
deities. It’s said to have time witnessed, a war between gods and demons for
nectar. The kumbh (basically a container or pot) fell off and dropped the
nectar to four different places namely Haridwar, Prayag, Nashik and Ujjain.
Ujjain a city of Madhya
Pradesh is easy to reach and well connected to areas like of Indore, Khandwa,
Dewas, Gwalior and others. Land up at these cities and lose yourself to the joy
of spiritualism.
The event has entrants
from around the globe. Holy baths in the river Kshipra where the Nectar has
supposedly fallen have been scheduled of which the MP Tourism website provides
a full fledged agenda.
(Shri Mahavir Tapobhumi)
Simhastha as an event
has raised people above caste, creed and religion and has united them in the
name of lord Shiva from ages. The temples of Ujjain including the Mahakal
temple, one of the very famous temples in India serves the purpose of
Simhasthsa. During Simhastha the traditions of the Malwa region are portrayed
well.
(Simhastha-Kshipra)
And I forgot the most
important thing! The dates! It’s beginning on April 22nd and would
drive up to May 21st 2016.
So what are you waiting
for? Book your tickets.
What not satisfied with
the article?
We have a bit more to
add this time. Don’t you think being at Ujjain a whole month sounds a bit
monotonous?
For me it would be.
So I’ve my list of
places to visit nearby and I’m going to share it with you.
·
Khajuraho
Group of Monuments: The beautifully sculptured monuments
display an archaic of times of gods and goddesses. Located at a distance of
about 561km it could be reached up via local transport via NH86.
(Khajuraho)
·
Kanha
Tiger Reserve: The state’s largest national park located
in the semi-nomadic zone, earlier belonging to the the baiga tribe, is an attempt
t conserve tigers and other wildlife species like that of Barasingha (hard
ground), Gaurs and a few more alongwith tigers. A 660km separated place could
be reached by a car or bus.

·
Pachmarhi:
A lavishly green hill station of Madhya Pradesh serves the tourist with valleys
and adventure spots throughout. Enjoy driving to Pachmarhi at about 410km for it
has a lot for you on the way.
(Pachmarhi)
·
Gwalior:
The
fort land of the state is the hottest during May. Try visiting it in April
itself. :P
The
place is said to be the Tourist Capital of Madhya Pradesh and offers the
panoramic view of forts located there.
Gwalior
can be reached either by a bus or train. Trains to the route are available at
regular intervals of 1.5 to 2 hours. The travel distance is about 500kms.
A
personal advice includes that travelling to Gwalior via train or bus shall be
at one’s own risk.

·
Mandu:
Being
at Mandu is like living whole heartedly and would just yearn to stay in the lap
of nature. A route to Mandu from Ujjain is through Indore and can be reached in
about 3 hours.
(Mandu)
·
Omkareshwar:
Witness the godliness at Omkareshwar. Built
along the sides of river Narmada the place offers a divine glance of worship of
lord Shiva. The place is said to have an “Om (ॐ)” sculptured onto the river when
viewed from height. Ujjain is well connected to Omkareshwar and could be
reached within two hours.
(Omkareshwar)
·
Maheshwar:
Located
at the Northern bank of Narmada, the city anciently called Mahishmati, depicts
the Malwa customs. It reveals a lot about the state of Madhya Pradesh and its
culture. NH 3 connects Maheshwar and Ujjain. So drive up to Ujjain and plan a
trip to Maheshwar.
(Maheshwar)
·
Sanchi
Stupa: Famous for the Asokan temple pillar, the place is
one of Buddhist Monuments. The diverse sculptures at Sanchi offer tourist a
view of the time of emperor Ashoka. Trains and local transport both are
available from Ujjain to Sanchi. Train could be time savour and this time can
be utilised for the other MP destinations.
(Sanchi Stupa)
·
Pench
National Park: Located in the Chhindwara region, the
park derives its name from the river Pench. The Pench national park flourishes
with a rich flora and fauna. The jungle safari worth a travel. Ride up to
600kms at Pench National Park.
(Pench National Park)
·
Jabalpur:
The
city encompasses two very beautiful, actually the ones I’ve experienced, places
i.e., the “Bhedaghat” and the “Gwarighat”. Bhedaghat portrays a cascade which is
capable of instilling freshness into one’s soul. Gwarighat has Gurudwara named
Gwari Ghat Sahib located at the banks of river Narmada. I’d suggest you to
travel to Jabalpur via NH86.
(Bhedaghat)
·
Indore:
Located
at about 56km the place can be reached either by train or bus. The food capital
of India famous for its poha-jalebi and the variety of street food and foodies
is a must visit place with some historical touch of Holkars. :D
(Rajwada)
So guys, all set?
Are you ready? Get your
catch at Simhastha, be spiritual and experience tourism in the state of Madhya
Pradesh in April and May.
