Every destination in Madhya Pradesh is unique and there is a lot to do in each place. We have curated the Mandu group tour itinerary based on the unique flavour of a particular destination that you may not find anywhere else.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? Floating over its own reflection, the Jahaz Mahal in Mandu Fort looks like a ship that’s about to sail. However, for centuries this ship made of stone and mortar never did. Instead, it stood floating over the twin lakes, bearing a silent witness to Mandu’s long, rich, and varied history.

FAQs

We select accommodation based on their uniqueness/character, location, cleanliness and comfort, hospitality, food quality, and more. Hence, we work with a variety of stays - boutique hotels, heritage properties, well appointed standard hotels, premium homestays etc. You can download the pdf itinerary for more details on the stays being used during the Mandu women group tours.

As a solo-female traveller, can I join the Mandu, Maheshwar, Omkareshwar group tour?

Absolutely! We design our all-women tours to make it convenient, fun, and safe for women travellers. While solo travelling gives you the autonomy to pace your trip, travelling with a women only group, is hassle-free and without the mental load of planning and organising. You travel with a group of like-minded women, make new friends, and share experiences for a lifetime. Join our Mandu women only trip to experience the joy of travelling with your tribe.

What are the company policies on smoking/drinking?

Note on Smoking and Alcohol policy: Everyone joining is an adult, and we realise that we cannot dictate the behaviour on how you should enjoy the trip. All we ask is to drink responsibly. Hangover delays are going to cost a lot and will not be tolerated at all. So please do not test your limits and enjoy in moderation. Also, do respect your roommate’s comfort levels with the alcohol smell and avoid drinking in the room if she is not comfortable. If you smoke, please do so outside the room, even if the rooms have ashtrays.

How does F5 Escapes promote responsible and sustainable tourism?

When we travel, we visit somebody’s home, be it a city, village or a place of stay. We treat them with utmost respect. We encourage all our guests to leave no trace, only footprints. We recommend carrying one's own steel water bottles. Most places of stay we partner with provide clean drinking water and water is available for refill. Small shift, big impact. We are mindful about our group not littering the destination. We try choosing vendors who make a conscious effort to employ locals, thereby enabling us to give back to the local economy. We encourage local handicrafts and on several trips we visit local artisans. We try to reduce overcrowding by travelling in small groups of maximum 12 people. We support women-led enterprises and seek them out on our travels. We work with local organisations across India involved in conservation, culture preservation and employment generation.

Zero sress, well curated trip

High Five F5! Had a zero stress, well curated trip to selected gems of MP. Food & stay was awesome but the fellow travelers …even more so. It was a perfect balance of the young, experienced, enthusiastic, 'chilled' 'monjulika' travelers...Would recommend F5 to anyone who wants to explore new places in a secured yet enriching environment.
