Indore, Ujjain & Omkareshwar
Ek Number!
TOUR OVERVIEW
MP is Hindustan ka Dil; and they say, ‘dil ka rasta pet se’. There are fewer cities as obsessed with street food as Indore. Not for nothing, the jewellers market turn into a food street at night. How fitting!
This region is highly unexplored but seriously drool-worthy – in all senses. The cleanest city in India, Indore offers a look into the Holkar dynasty and provides access to some of the most beautiful waterfalls on Malwa plateau. The holy Narmada combined with the aura of two Jyotirlingas – Ujjain and Omkareshwar – gives this trip a spiritual turn. This one is a super awesome trip. Or as the true blue Indori will say “Ek Number!”
Early bird discount applicable!
- Early bird discount of INR 500 if booked on or before 21st June 2019.
- Additional discount of INR 1000 if paid in one go!
