  • Our sightseeing programmes take in the most noteworthy sights in each place. Sometimes local fairs and festivals or other happenings compel us to alter the itinerary which should be regarded as unavoidable adjustments of plans. If a particular monument or complex is closed on the day of scheduled sightseeing, we try to show it the next day, subject to availability of time.
  • The climate is pleasant in Madhya Pradesh from October to March, getting quite cold from November to February when we suggest you carry woolens as well. From April to September it is warm. But always travel light carry only one suit case, weighting no more than 20 kg and an overnight bag.
