7 Days Mandu, Maheshwar, Omkareshwar, Indore and Ujjain Tour
This 7 Days Mandu, Maheshwar, Omkareshwar, Indore and Ujjain Tour brings together some of the strongest cultural and spiritual experiences of Madhya Pradesh. The journey begins in Indore, continues to the historic hill city of Mandu, then follows the Narmada River to Maheshwar and Omkareshwar before concluding with Ujjain.
The itinerary is ideal for travellers who want to combine forts, palaces, riverfront heritage, temple towns and pilgrimage sites in one well-paced Central India route. It offers more depth than a short Indore-Mandu trip while still keeping travel distances practical.
Mandu provides the main architectural focus with royal palaces, mosques, tombs and scenic plateau viewpoints. Maheshwar adds the calm atmosphere of the Narmada ghats, Omkareshwar brings a sacred island setting, and Ujjain completes the journey with ancient temples and one of India's best-known pilgrimage traditions.
The route can be customised according to hotel category, temple timings and preferred sightseeing pace. It can also be extended with Bhopal, Sanchi or additional time in Indore for a broader Madhya Pradesh experience.

- Begin with Indore sightseeing and local heritage.
- Explore Mandu's palaces, mosques, tombs and hilltop landscapes.
- Visit Maheshwar Fort and the Narmada River ghats.
- Experience the sacred island town of Omkareshwar.
