Finish the day with a traditional Indian henna tattoo - don’t worry, it comes off after a few weeks!

On your way stop and visit the fortress town of Mandu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site replete with palaces, mosques, and cenotaphs, and enjoy an al fresco lunch. A hamlet on the banks of the sacred Narmada, Maheshwar is often referred to as the "Varanasi of Central India". Unlike Varanasi, Maheshwar as an off-the-beaten path destination offers visitors a less crowded and touristic experience. It's a calm, clean, and compact town that's an evocative place to relax and be immersed in its divine atmosphere. Check into the Ahilya Fort, a lovingly restored 300-year-old palace, and explore its grounds.
A guided tour through the sleepy old city reveals its many mosques and temples, locals relaxing and doing housework by the river, trading goods at the markets, and centers where handloom weaving still takes place. A craft prominent in the city since the 5th century, the colorful Maheshwari sarees are weaved with distinctive and intricate designs involving checks, and floral borders. Around sunset, kids can be seen swimming in the river while adults gather to wash, pray, chant, sing, and socialize.
