What you will do

The Essence of Bhopal: Lakes, Heritage, and Culture

Pick up from your hotel for a city tour of Bhopal. 

 

Begin with a visit to Bhoj Wetland, an important ecological area comprising the Upper Lake (Bhojtal) and the Lower Lake. These manmade reservoirs are crucial for the city's water supply and are recognized under the Ramsar Convention for their international importance. Over 20,000 migratory birds visit annually, making it a key spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

 

The Upper Lake, which serves as the city's primary source of potable water, is notable for its rich birdlife. You might see white storks, black-necked storks, and bar-headed geese. The area is also famous for the recent sightings of large flocks of sarus cranes, known for their impressive size and elegant flight. Observing these cranes, particularly in groups of 100-120, is a rare and awe-inspiring experience.

 

Continue your tour in Bhopal with a visit to Jama Masjid, a historic mosque renowned for its elegant architecture and serene ambiance. This mosque, with its grand domes and minarets, is a testament to the city's rich Islamic heritage.

 

Next, explore Moti Masjid, another significant mosque known for its pristine white marble and beautiful design. Often compared to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, it features an exquisite blend of Persian and Mughal architectural styles.

 

Visit Taj ul Masajid, one of the largest mosques in India. Its impressive red sandstone structure and striking white marble domes make it a standout monument. The mosque's expansive courtyards and intricate interiors are a testament to the grandeur of Mughal architecture.

 

Head to Bharat Bhawan, an arts center that showcases a diverse range of contemporary and traditional art forms. The center is a cultural hub, featuring art galleries, a theater, and a museum dedicated to Indian art and culture. The architecture of Bharat Bhawan itself is a modernist marvel, adding to the cultural experience.

 

If time permits, explore the Sadar Manzil, an 18th-century palace with a blend of Mughal and European architectural influences. The palace now serves as a museum, offering insights into the region's history and heritage.

 

After city tour, dropped off at your hotel.
