Package ID: TG-CITY-001551
Photography · Madhya Pradesh · Afghan-era ruins — A photography-focused trip around Mandu — its most photogenic spots, timed for good light where possible. Mandu, a ruined hilltop city of the Malwa sultanate, is a sweeping plateau of elegant Afghan-style architecture set among baobab trees and monsoon-green ravines. The Jahaz Mahal "ship palace", the tragic love-story pavilions of Roopmati and Baz Bahadur, and India's first marble tomb make it a hauntingly romantic ensemble. This 2-night photography package is built around Mandu's real highlights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework.
