Day 1: Bhopal Arrival and Local Sightseeing
Upon arrival in Bhopal, you will be warmly received by a Kashiyatra Tours representative and transferred to your pre-booked hotel. After check-in and breakfast, begin your exploration of Bhopal—famously known as the "City of Lakes" and the capital of Madhya Pradesh. With its rich blend of natural beauty and historical importance, Bhopal was built over the ancient ruins of 11th-century Bhojapal, founded by Raja Bhoja. In the afternoon, visit the serene Upper and Lower Lakes, followed by a tranquil experience at Van Vihar National Park. As evening approaches, continue your sightseeing with visits to Mahaveer Giri, the Birla Mandir (Laxmi Narayan Temple), Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya, and the Government Archaeological Museum. End your day with a relaxing dinner at a charming lakeside restaurant before heading back to the hotel for an overnight stay.

Day 2: Visit to Sanchi and Udayagiri
After breakfast, begin your day with a spiritual and historical journey to Sanchi, located about 46 km east of Bhopal. This renowned Buddhist pilgrimage site rose to prominence in the 3rd century B.C. when Emperor Ashoka built the famous Great Stupa and Ashokan pillar here. Though the site was expanded by subsequent rulers, it fell into neglect until its restoration in the 20th century. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sanchi features beautifully preserved stupas, monasteries, temples, and a well-curated museum that reflects its profound historical and religious significance. After lunch in Sanchi, proceed to Udayagiri, just 18 km away, to explore the Rock-Cut Caves dating back to the Gupta period. These caves are some of the oldest Hindu cave temples in India and offer a glimpse into early iconography and stone craftsmanship. Return to your hotel in Bhopal by evening for an overnight stay.

Day 3: Bhimbetka and Bhojpur Sightseeing
After breakfast, begin your day with a visit to Bhojpur, located around 28 km from Bhopal. Here, explore the magnificent Shiv Mandir, home to one of the largest Shivlings in the world. After this spiritual experience, continue your journey to Bhimbetka, about 35 km from Bhojpur. Nestled at the foothills of the Vindhya ranges, Bhimbetka is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its prehistoric rock shelters. These caves feature pictographs and paintings from the Neolithic Age, offering a glimpse into early human life. The site is also linked to Bhima of the Mahabharata, believed to have stayed here during exile. Return to Bhopal in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 4: Drive to Khajuraho (383 km / Approx. 8 Hours)
Begin your day with an early breakfast, as you set out on a scenic drive to Khajuraho, one of India’s most iconic heritage destinations. The journey spans approximately 383 km and will take around 8 hours, with a stop en route for lunch at a local restaurant. Upon arrival in Khajuraho, you will be assisted with check-in at your hotel. Spend the rest of the evening at leisure, relaxing after the long journey. Prepare for an exciting day of temple exploration the next day. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel in Khajuraho.

Day 5: Khajuraho Temple Exploration
After breakfast, begin your day by exploring the Western Group of Temples, the most famous and well-preserved cluster in Khajuraho. Highlights include the grand Kandariya Mahadeo Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, known for its intricate carvings and towering shikhara. Also visit the ancient Chausath Yogini Temple, the oldest surviving temple in the complex, built entirely of granite. Later, head to the Eastern Group of Temples, which includes prominent Jain temples such as Parsvanath, Adinath, and Ghantai, showcasing a unique blend of spiritual art and architectural beauty. These temples reflect the religious harmony of ancient India. After a culturally enriching day, return to your hotel in Khajuraho for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 6: Visit to Devi Jagadambi Temple
After breakfast, proceed to visit the Devi Jagadambika Temple, one of the most artistically adorned temples in Khajuraho. Part of a cluster of 25 temples built by the Chandela rulers between the 10th and 12th centuries, this temple stands out for its intricate carvings and elegant architecture. Located in the Northern Group, the Devi Jagadambika Temple is dedicated to the Goddess of the Universe and features a beautifully sculpted sanctum housing a grand image of the deity. This serene and spiritually uplifting site offers a glimpse into the refined craftsmanship and devotion of the Chandela era. After the visit, return to your hotel in Khajuraho for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 7: Transfer to Gwalior and Local Sightseeing
After breakfast, check out from your hotel in Khajuraho and begin your journey to Gwalior, a historic city rich in cultural heritage and royal legacy. The drive will take approximately 5 to 6 hours. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and freshen up. Later, enjoy local sightseeing, exploring Gwalior's vibrant streets, historical landmarks, and architectural marvels. You can also visit the local markets, known for traditional crafts, fabrics, and souvenirs. Spend the rest of the evening at leisure, soaking in the charm of this royal city. Return to the hotel for dinner and a comfortable overnight stay in Gwalior.

Day 8: Gwalior to Bhopal (423 km) – Departure
