At the heart of India lies this gentle, mellow land where time and space express themselves at a languid pace. Playground to one of India’s great rivers, the Narmada, and two hill ranges, the Vindhya and Satpura, this is an intriguing landscape of plateaus, river valleys, rolling hills and forests. From the prehistoric site of Bhimbetka, to ancient Hindu and Buddhist monuments such as Khajuraho and Sanchi, to the tiger-rich forests of sanctuaries Bandhavgarh and Kanha, to hilly Mandu and the contemplative towns of Maheshwar, Omkareshwar and Amarkantak by the Narmada, MP is quite a treasure.
