Breakfast halt

We reached Indore around 6.45 pm and booked a stay on reaching there.

Freshened up. And headed towards the Night food market of Sarafa bazaar. It was crowded even at 10pm! But the food was too good. Ended up having almost 10 different dishes!

Holkar Museum

Rajwada palace

Birthday girl found a new hobby probably

We had a nice lunch and then headed towards Lalbaug Palace. Personal favorite tourist place from Indore! The French-British architecture with leisure areas and dining halls, what beauty! The Italian marble pillars and the Greek paitings are just excellent .

After the Lalbaug palace, we went back to hotel and took a quick nap to retrieve our energy for another food tour in the evening. We took the battery tuk-tuk to Chhappan dukaan.

Chappan dukan is a food street with such a lively vibe! Indore literally proves itself as स्वाद की राजधानी! Here are some very tasty dishes that I tried there.

Tourist behaviour 100

Also, we went to cloth market. You will get a huge variety of clothes, ethnic wear to be specific. Bargaining is the key so take your bargains-perts with you!!

This day was a tiring one as well. So got to go and sleep!

After this we went to two more temples in the surrounding.

After having Dal Bafle for lunch we headed towards the Mahakal temple around 4.30 pm. The temple has been recently renovated and they have done a great job at it!

The chants of Har Har Mahadev set vibe of the temple!

Not only the temple but the whole surrounding has been decorated with huge sculptures from Hindu mythology.

We also wanted to attend the enchanting Kshipra aarti by the Ram ghat. The drums and the beats are so amazing that one has to stand there and enjoy it!

Later after this aarti we went to Harsiddhi maiyya temple where again we got to witness the terrific environment. Do not miss this arti.

Such a spiritual day out!

What a day!

On the other side of river, Mamleshwar jyotirlinga is situated.

Around sunset we started for Maheshwar. We took a night halt there as it was already late. There is a fort and Narmada ghat built by Ahilyadevi Holkar here.

But due to time limits and late hours we were not able to visit those. But this means I get to visit here again!

So this was the end of the trip as next day we started on the way back to Pune!

Road trip with parents was not that of a bad idea!! A memorable one indeed!!
