Maheshwar

Maheshwar is a special place of pilgrimage situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh on the Narmada River, a holy river, often called Divine Mother in India. It is about 6 hours drive by bus or taxi from Tapovan and we highly recommend a dip (fully clothed) in the Narmada as an absolute must if you come to India. It is actually taking darshan of this powerful river which means an opportunity to offer some small worship to Her. Very comfortable western standard accommodation is available if an overnight stay is desired as there are many interesting temples to visit on the edge of the river. From there, Indore is another 1 to 2 hours drive so it is possible to break the trip to Jaipur at Maheshwar before continuing north.
