Often referred to as the “City of Lakes”, Bhopal offers travelers a journey of enchantment and cultural exploration, revealing its hidden gems and unforgettable adventures. We at Bhopal Tourism, a division of Holidays DNA offer Bhopal Tour packages to make the most of your trip.
Bhopal is not just a city; it's a living canvas where the colors of tradition, art, and nature blend harmoniously. As you immerse yourself in the city's warm embrace, you'll discover that its true charm lies in the generosity of its people, who open their hearts to welcome you as one of their own.
Nestled amidst the Vindhya and Satpura mountain ranges, the city boasts a unique blend of modernity and traditional charm, making it a delightful destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
A stroll through the old quarters of Bhopal is a journey through time where ancient havelis whisper stories of a bygone era. Lose yourself in the labyrinthine lanes adorned with intricate wooden carvings and stunning architecture, showcasing the city's rich history. Each nook and cranny unfolds a tale of royalty, love, and valor, leaving you enchanted with the city's glorious past.
In the midst of all this cultural grandeur lies the serene embrace of nature. Visit the Upper Lake to experience the charm and serenity of this magical water wonderland - a testament to Bhopal's rich heritage and its deep-rooted connection with nature. It is the largest artificial lake in Asia that impresses people with its breathtaking panorama of tranquility.
The Lower Lake is another captivating body of water that compliments the allure of Bhopal. Situated beside its larger sibling, the Upper Lake, this smaller yet equally enchanting lake holds a special place in the heart of locals and travelers alike.
Besides the lakes, Bhopal is enveloped by verdant hills and forests, offering numerous opportunities for trekking, hiking, and exploring nature trails. The surrounding countryside is a picturesque panorama of rolling hills, dense forests, and charming villages, providing ample opportunities for eco-tourism and wildlife exploration. The enchanting beauty of these natural landscapes is heightened by the rich biodiversity they support, housing a variety of flora and fauna unique to this region.
One of the gems of Bhopal's natural beauty is Van Vihar National Park. Spread over a sprawling area, the Van Vihar National Park is not your typical wildlife reserve. It's a combination of a national park and a zoological park, providing a haven for both wild and rescued animals.
The park provides shelter to a diverse array of wildlife, making it an ideal location for people to spend some time close to the majestic creatures. For birdwatchers, Van Vihar National Park is no less than a paradise. It boasts an impressive avian population with a plethora of resident and migratory birds gracing the skies and waters.
Apart from the natural allure, Bhopal's history is etched in its architecture, which adds a distinct charm to the city's landscape. The city houses numerous historical monuments, including mosques, palaces, and forts, which showcase a blend of Hindu and Islamic architectural styles.
For instance, you can admire the magnificent architecture of Gohal Mahal and Shaukat Mahal on your tour with our Bhopal tour packages. Both are age-old edifices that leave you spellbound with their intricate carvings and captivating aura that will surely impress you from the core of your heart. Other historic places that can be included in your itinerary list are Jama Masjid, Moti Masjid, Taj-UI-Masjid, Raisen Fort, Rani Kamlapati Palace, and Sanchi Stupa.
Don’t miss the Birla Mandir, Lakshmi Narayan Temple, and Bhojpur Temple if you wish to enlighten yourself spiritually in Bhopal. The city boasts the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya or the Museum of Humankind for history buffs. It is an awe-inspiring testament to the human journey that will take you on a captivating voyage through time and space.
