Introduction
One state that has always kept me captivated by the plethora of experiences that it can offer is Madhya Pradesh. Being geographically located in the centre of India, it is truly a Heartland of India. For me it’s an epitome of Indian culture and heritage with its history dating back to pre-historic times. From the rock-shelters of Bhimbetka of Paleolithic and Mesolithic period, to Buddhist site of Sanchi of around 3 century BCE, the Khajuraho temple known for its enticing sculptures, several palaces and forts from medieval period to modern day cities of Indore and Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh has kept its enriching heritage alive in all its glory. This state is also home to around 25 wildlife sanctuaries, out of which Bandhavgarh, Pench, Panna and Kanha are the most renowned and visited by wildlife lovers around the globe (Madhya Pradesh).
