About Madhya Pradesh
This is the heartland of India, a state packed with surprises, where tigers roam the jungle, and fortified towns, temples, stupas and cave paintings lure the visitor.
Madhya Pradesh, literally translated, means "middle land", and it does spread across Central India. Most of the state is upland plateaus and hills, interspersed with the deep valleys of rivers that flow east into the Bay of Bengal and west into the Arabian Sea. Much of India's forest is located here. It consists of some of the finest deciduous hardwoods in the world — teak, sal, hardwickia, Indian ebony, and rosewood. Bamboo is prolific in the hills and there are magnificent fruit and flowering trees. The Mahadeo Hills of the Satpura Range is the home of the tiger, panther, Indian bison and the myriad herbivores that make the jungle their home.
The state is also home to many Adivasi groups. Among the most populous are the Gonds, found across the Madhya Pradesh and into neighboring Chhattisgarh. Western Madhya Pradesh is inhabited by the Bhils, a group of warriors and hunters who once held the powerful Mughal army at bay. Eastern Madhya Pradesh is dominated by the Oraons, now largely Christian.
Madhya Pradesh has many crafts, from the weaving of Chanderi and Mahesh-war to the carpet-making of Vidisha, Mandsaur, and Sarguja. Other crafts include carpentry, pottery, textile printing and dyeing, metalworking, wood-carving and leather work.
Things to Know before you tour to Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh is quite easy to reach. One can fly to the state from Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. Gwalior, Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Raipur and Khajuraho Tours are on the air map. There are excellent train services throughout the region. Road journeys are interesting because the routes pass through forests and cultivated areas in succession and skirt villages. Most places have adequate if simple, hotel facilities.
The cuisine varies from the wheat and meat-based food of northern and western Madhya Pradesh holiday packages to the rice and fish domination in the south and the east. Gwalior and Indore abound in milk-based preparations. Bhopal produces exquisite meat and fish dishes, of which spicy rogan josh, korma, keema, biryani and kebabs such as shami and seekh, are the most famous. They are eaten with thin slices of unleavened bread called rumali roil ("handkerchief bread") and leavened, flat loaves called shirmal. Also interesting are the bafla (wheat cakes), dunked in rich ghee and eaten with dal, a pungent lentil broth, whose tongue-tingling sharpness is moderated by the accompanying ladus (sweet dumplings).
The best time to travel is from the mild autumn of October to the spring at the end of March. April to mid-July is very hot. The monsoon months of July, August and September can also be very pleasant.
Tours to Madhya Pradesh incomplete without a visit to Mandu
A travel to Madhya Pradesh of Malwa would be incomplete without a visit to Mandu. 90 km (55 miles) from Indore. You approach the capital of the Sultanate of Malwa either from the plains of Dhār or from the mountain passes at Manpur. The first sight of Mandu is impressive; there is a chasm, a deep wooded ravine that is crossed by a narrow bridge, and on the skyline is the largest-standing fortified city in the world. The walls have a circumference of more than 75 km (45 miles).
One enters through the Bhangi Gate, a fearsome defensive bastion. Once inside the gates, there are lakes and groves, gardens and palaces. The Jahaz Mahal, or ship palace, floats serenely on its lake, and the Hindola Mahal, or swing palace, built of massive stone, appears to sway gently in the breeze.
The Jama Masjid has acoustics so perfect that a whisper from the pulpit is heard clearly in the furthest corner of the huge courtyard. There is also the Nikanth Temple, a standing monument to the tolerance of Emperor Akbar.
Close by is the Rewa Kund, a gem of a lake, said to be filled by the waters of the Narmada River 90 km (55 miles) away and 600 meters (2,000 feet) lower down. Rewa Kund and, in fact, the whole of Mandu, are living monuments to Sultan Baz Bahadur and his Hindu Queen, Rupmati. Legend has it that she was a commoner whom Baz Bahadur met on the banks of the Narmada River when out hunting. He married her on a promise that he would bring the Narmada to Mandu, and Rewa Kund is the fulfillment of that promise.

Visit Ancient Sites in Madhya Pradesh
Here is list of ancient tourist places in Madhya Pradesh below:-
Bhimbethka - Just 30 km (18 miles) away is Bhimbethka, where more than 500 caves with neolithic rock paintings have been discovered. Five periods have been identified, from the prehistoric upper Paleolithic to the early historical and medieval. At Sanchi, 46 km (28 miles) from Bhopal, a great stupa covers relics of Gautama Buddha. Noted for exquisite carvings in honey-colored stone, Sanchi is a place of Buddhist pilgrimage.
Vidisha and Udaygir - Northeast of Sanchi are Vidisha and Udaygir (8 km/5 miles) and Gyaraspur (50 km/30 miles), the cradle of Mauryan civilization and the rocks on which the tide of ancient Grecian conquest broke. The exquisite sculptured salbhanjika, or divine attendant of the gods, is preserved here.
Satpura and Vindhyan Hills - South of Bhopal is Kipling country, with the Narmada River as the cord which binds the Satpura and Vindhyan Hills together. This is one of the great rivers of India, but it is now part of one of the largest hydroelectric schemes in the world. Its damming and the subsequent displacement of peoples, with little compensation for their loss of land, have provoked fierce protest from local groups and caused international outrage.
Kanha National Park - The Kanha National Park, and its sister sanctuary, Bandhavgarh Tours, are perhaps the state's top attraction. These parks have grassy maidans (meadows), which are home for deer. The jungles teem with leopard, bear, and wildcat, and there are some tigers. In some cases, the numbers are prodigious, with spotted deer alone numbering more than 17,000. Tiger is king, but not set to rule over gaur, the Indian wild ox; where the gaur browses, the tiger makes a wide detour. Kanha is home to that unique species of 12-horned swamp deer, the barasingha (Duvaceli branderi), the only swamp deer that has adapted to dwelling on hard ground. It faced extinction before the great naturalist and administrator, M.K.S. Ranjitsinhji, rescued it.
Pachmarhi and Bedaghat - Two places in Madhya Pradesh deserve special mention: Pachmarhi and Bedaghat. Pachmarhi is in the Satpura Hills, 210 km (130 miles) southeast of Bhopal; a special place for trekkers, rock climbers and nature lovers alike. Bedaghat, is 22 km (14 miles) from Jabalpur. Here the Narmada River flows through a 5-km- (2-mile-) long gorge, between towering white marble cliffs, particularly spectacular on full-moon nights. Below the gorge is the Dhuandhar Falls, literally "smoky falls".
