Make the most of your India trip and start planning!
Smack bang in the centre of India, Madhya Pradesh is often lost in the shadow of its colourful northern neighbour, Rajasthan. In fact, we would guess that you’ve probably never heard of it – and now we’d like to change that. The region is rich in architectural wonders and dripping with temples, hilltop palaces, forts and mosques that house some of the finest carvings in the country: the erotic sculptures of the Khajuaraho and the intricate architecture of Maheshwar to name a few. But, if there’s one image that sums up the state, it’s the tiger. This is national park land and with six protected tiger reserves, more than in any other state, the chance to spot a wild Royal Bengal in the mottled shadows of the jungle is high. And the best bit is that in these remote parts, you’ll probably be the only one with a pair of binos…
Madhya Pradesh is the kind of place where superlatives come alive: the temples are awe-inspiring, the history is fascinating, and the moment you see you a tiger, your breath really will leave you.
Don’t let your desire to see a tiger overshadow the riches of MP. If it’s an absolute essential, start in one of the densely-populated reserves like Bandhavgarh, and then sit back allow the magic to prevail…
MP can be quite the contradiction: it sees a fraction of the visitor numbers of more popular states and can be a dream to escape the hustle and noise. But it’s also frenzied and fast-paced, colourful and chaotic, maddening and so completely not modern. Be prepared for anything.
