I want to visit Omkareshwar from Ujjain. Can I vist ujjain to Omkareshwar and back to Ujjain in a single day. How can I do that.

Just wanted check to see if there is any cell phone coverage in Tala and Mukki (where I will be staying while visting the parks). I will be travelling there in late March and wanted to see if it would be worthwhile to pick up an SIM card when I am in Delhi and if it would work while I am near the national parks. Thanks! Jeff

namaste,

I spent some weeks in 2004 and 2005 in Ujjain, and a very good time in "my" hotel, in front the railway station, the Sagar hotel (or hotel Sagar...).

I want to give a call to Joshi-Ji, the manager, and to Kâkâ, who is working there and one day invited me for a "subah ka nashta".

If somebody is going to Ujjain or leave in Ujjain please can you be kind enough to enter there, to ask the phone number and to write it here ?

Thanks a lot.

I am planning a trip for about 1 week to Bandhavgarh after a couple of weeks in Goa. I will be departing from and returning to Mumbia. The thought of a jungle safari and spotting a tiger in the wild is sooooo exciting and from what I've read, Bandhavgarh nature reserve seems to be the place to go. From my initial checks, it seems that getting a train to the area is easiest and cheapest and I should be able to arrange this in Mumbia on my way to Gao.

My main query is [1] how do I go about booking an elephant/jeep safari? Do I do this when I arrive or can I prebook [I'd hate to go that far and not get booked] [2] are there any reasonable hotels near the reserve that i can book over the net? [3] how many hours [approx] is the train trip from Mumbia to the area?

Any advice on these points would be greatly appreciated but any useful comments on how to go about this adventure would be great. Thanks in anticipation,

Sandy

I am planning to go to MP towards the end of February, for the Khajuraho Dance festival. However, that is not the only item on my agenda. I plan to cover Jabalpur-Bhedaghat and either Kanha National Park or Pachmarhi in the visit.
Need help from people who have been there.

1. Please suggest a good tour company/travel agent who would help me with a car and booking a few hotels. I am based in Pune.

2. Has anybody been to the Dance Festival? How is it? How is the rush? Should I book tickets for the same in advance? What is the best way to get tickets?

3. What is a good hotel in Khajuraho to stay? I read not so good reviews about Taj Chandela. Clarks and Holiday Inn seem to be ok. How are Usha Bundela and Jass Trident?

4. It is not possible to pack all 4 (Khajuraho, Bhedaghat, Kanha and Pachmarhi) all in a 1-week trip. I am definitely planning to cover the first two. Any suggestion about whether I should go to Kanha or Pachmarhi?

5. What is the best way to see the Marble Rocks in Bhedaghat? Some details would be good.

6. Please suggest good hotels/resorts in Pachmarhi and Kanha NP.

7. What is the best way to spend two days in Pachmarhi? Is a guide needed? Where can I find a good guide?

8. I am thinking of traveling to one of the train stations in the area and then hiring a car for the rest of the tour. Is this a good idea? Any better alternative?

hello,
i am planning to visit india in december '05. i only have 4-5 days, but i really want to see the Taj Mahal, Jaipur, and Khajuraho, using Delhi as a base.
Is it possible to do all of this in the limited time that i have?
Can one book these tours from Delhi?

do anyone has idea about the condition of roads around bandhavgarh. Is journey from jabalpur to bandhavgarh confortable or bumpy. Is is better to go from Umaria. How to book hotels there from delhi. I want a fairly budget hotel there. Whether they provide accomodation inside the jungle like in corbett park.
I plan to go there in March 2005.

Anyone ever stayed at the White Tiger Forest Lodge    in the Bandhavgarh  Wildlife Park? It is a MPT, Forest Rest House .
Would appreciate your comments on that Lodge or any other budget minded accomodations with AC and hot water and toilet ensuite.
Please include an e-mail contact and web page if you have the information.

Would like to know where anyone out there has stayed when visiting Kanha and Bandhavgarh and Ranthambhore National
Wildlife Parks?? Comments on the level of accommodations and the costs and transportation used to get to the parks would also be appreciated. It would also be helpful to know what time of year (weather) you where there and how long ago?

Hi,

I want to go to Mandu in july. I will arrive by train from Khandhwa and I prefer not to go to Indore (or Mhow) to go back by bus (3/4 hours) to Mandu (time lost ?).

I want to know if it is a good Idea to stop either in Sanawad either in Barwaha. From which town I have more chances to find buses (or taxi but money money...) ?

I sent an e-mail to http://www.mptourism.com/ but I think that sarkari karmacari are too busy to answer.

Thank you

Namaste,

Thanks again to the friends who answered me last year.

After Haryana and Punjab (the five rivers) in 2003 I will stay this summer one month and half in Madhya Pradesh (Ujjain and Chattarpur).

Do you know wich buses are going from Udaipur to
Ujjain and when are the departures ?

If you know some cheap hotel in Ujjain and Chattarpur tell me (low budget : 100/150 rps (the first 20 days last year I spent, all included, 349 rps a day in average)).

Sukria,

Jacques

Hallo all!
I will be travelling to India in May '03 - not the first time, but the first time in 13 years. I will be travelling with a friend and we are planning the following route: Delhi-Fatehpur Sikri-Agra-Jaipur-Khajuraho-Varanasi-Mussoorie - I know there is no train to Khajuraho and to Mussoorie. I used to travel a lot by bus before and hardly ever by train. Does anyone know if this route is possible by train and what kind of train is advisable? Thanks for your help
