Recently I went on a trip to Madhya Pradesh with F5 and what a fantastic experience it was ! The itinerary, the places to stay, food, transport were all excellently planned. My fellow travelers and I had great bonding and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I would definitely recommend F5!

Day 2: Gwalior fort. Bateshwar group of temples. Mitaoli.

After breakfast, take a guided tour of Gwalior fort – expansive and full of history. After lunch, head to Morena (35 kms) to visit the Bateshwar Temples. These are a group of nearly 200 sandstone Hindu temples and their ruins excavated. Later, visit the Mitaoli 64 Yogini temple, arguably the design inspiration behind the Old Parliament House in Delhi. Return to Gwalior by evening. Overnight at Gwalior.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? The Bateshwar Temples were restored by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) with the help of a dacoit! In the early 2000s, the area was used as hiding spots for the dacoits. The ASI team lead by K.K.Muhammed not only convinced them of the temple’s importance but also gained their support and security during the restoration process.

Day 3: Guided tour of Orchha, Jhansi Fort.

Drive: 3-4 hrs

Walk: 2-4 hrs

Attend the light and sound show at Orchha Fort to understand the history of the region. Overnight at Orchha.

MP being one of the largest states in India, there will be days with long hours of travel. Please map the cities we are visiting on the Google Maps so that you are prepared and carry some food for the road.

There will be a fair bit of walking today while exploring Jhansi fort and Orchha.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? The Ram Raja Temple in Orchha is the only place in India, where Lord Rama is worshipped as a King and not a God!

Day 4: Guided tour of Khajuraho temples. Proceed to Panna National Park.

Drive: 3-5 hrs

Walk: 3+ hrs

UNESCO site

After breakfast, start for Khajuraho. Take a guided tour of the Khajuraho Temple complex.

Later, proceed towards Panna, roughly 20 km away from Khajuraho. Overnight at Panna.

The Khajuraho group of monuments - Added to UNESCO World Heritage list in 1986

There will be considerable walking required for Khajuraho, and the Raneh Falls around Panna.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? According to local legends, the Shivlingam at Matangeshwar Temple in Khajuraho is believed to be living and alive, and grows mysteriously by an inch every year!

I recently joined F5 Escapes for their Madhya Pradesh trip, and it was an incredible experience! The itinerary featured fascinating destinations, memorable experiences, and a wonderful group of people.

Day 6: Pardhi Walk. Proceed to Gwalior.

Culture and Heritage

Jungle Walk: 2-4 hrs

Drive: 4-6 hrs

Have an early start and visit the Pardhis for a jungle walk. Pardhis are a nomadic community that has been hired to help in shikar (hunting) since the time of the Mughal emperors. However, due to the combined efforts of the Forest Department and NGOs, a large part of the population has given up hunting. After lunch, leave for Gwalior. This will be a long travel day. Overnight at Gwalior.

‘Walk with the Pardhis’, is an initiative that not only encourages the reformation but also aims at providing an alternative source of livelihood for the community.

It will be a long drive today. While we will take breaks, it's recommended to carry some light snacks/eatables for the road with you.

Day 7: Fly out. Trip ends.

Return flights

After breakfast, check out and catch your respective flights back home. The images and stories are going to be with you forever. Our Madhya Pradesh all women trip ends.

Book your return flights anytime today. Hotel check-out is at 10 AM.

My first trip with F5 Escapes to Madhya Pradesh was truly unforgettable. Each city we visited had its own unique charm, from majestic palaces and forts to beautiful monuments. What made the trip even more special was the bond formed with fellow travellers that added warmth and meaning to the journey…

FAQs

What type of accommodation will be provided?

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 itinerary for more details on the stays being used in the trip.

Which destinations will be covered in the Madhya Pradesh trip?

Please go through the itinerary for details on the cities and destinations we will be covering during the trip. There is a lot to do in every destination in MP. We have curated the itinerary based on the unique flavor of a particular destination that you may not find anywhere else. We will not be able to cover everything each city has to offer, in the time frame we have. So we have picked and chosen for you!

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 ashtray.

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.
