Sanchi & Udaigiri Cave Tour (60 km / 1.5 hours) from one way)
Morning pick up from Bhopal hotel and drive to Sanchi and Udaigiri Cave for a day tour. Sanchi is a Buddhist complex, famous for its Great Stupa, on a hilltop at Sanchi Town in Raisen District of the State of Madhya Pradesh, India. The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the oldest stone structures in India and was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. Its nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha. It was crowned by the chatra, a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank, which was intended to honour and shelter the relics.
Later, drive to visit Udayagiri caves, which are 5th-century rock-cut caves. This is the only site that can be verifiably associated with a Gupta Period monarch from its inscriptions. These caves house iconography of Vaishnavism (Vishnu), Shaktism (Durga), and Shaivism (Shiva). These monuments are protected by the Archaeological Survey of India.
After the visit, drive back to Bhopal. On arrival in Bhopal, drop at the hotel or dropping point.
