Bhopal, also known as the `the City of Begums` has a significant history. Between 1819 and 1926, it was ruled by the generation of Begums for over 100 years, who gave the city its waterworks, railways, postal system, and municipality. The Begums of Bhopal were great reformists and patrons of education, art, culture, and public works. They also built several great monuments, which still stand as testimonies to the city's celebrated past.
Bhopal is adorned by beautiful lakes and striking landscapes. Towards the north, you'll be welcomed by the old city that encompasses fascinating mosques, narrow alleys, amazing food corners, and buzzing chowks. On the other side of the upper lake is the new Bhopal. Modern, with wide roads, shopping complexes, plush hotels, and restaurants. Both contrasting sides are well-connected and offer something to everyone!
PLACES TO VISIT IN BHOPAL
Bhopal, often known as the "City of Lakes," boasts two magnificent lakes, Upper Lake and Lower Lake.
Raja Bhoj constructed the Upper Lake, known as "Bada Talab," in the 11th century. The 36.1 sq km lake is flanked by a lovely garden and Kamla Park. It is the ideal location for water activities. The "Chota Talab" is located east of Upper Lake, and the two urban water bodies combined are referred to as "Bhoj Wetland". The lake's management also provides boat rides on paddle, sail, and motor boats in addition to sightseeing opportunities. One may enjoy the cool breeze and breathtaking views of Bhopal while riding.
Gohar Mahal
Qudsia Begum chose this vantage point along the road that circles the Upper Lake, to build her first-ever castle between 1819 and 1837. It serves as a magnificent historical sentinel, bearing witness to the splendours of Bhopal's renowned royal families. It is a fusion of Hindu and Mughal architectural traditions, covering an area of approximately 4.65 acres. The many portions of this maze-like structure are reached through winding passageways and steep flights of stairs that provide a breathtaking view of the Upper Lake.
One can shop for traditional handicrafts at the government emporium, Mrignayani located here. Gohar Mahal is a protected site and is a venue for frequent craft fairs.
Birla Mandir
The impressive Lakshmi Narayan Temple or Birla Mandir was constructed by Hindustan Charity Trust between 1960 and 1964. It is located on the highest peak of the Arera hills, now known as Lakshminarayana Giri. The ochre and red building feature a sacred yellow flag perched atop the spire and is decorated with holy Hindu symbols. The temple offers panoramic views of both the old and new Bhopal from its campus. It is silhouetted against the clear sky and surrounded by lush, well-kept lawns. Beside the temple, there is a Birla museum which houses some amazing artefacts and antique sculptures.
Van Vihar National Park
The Van Vihar National Park is a zoological park that is bordered by Upper Lake. The park is spread over 445 hectares and is home to several wild animals like tiger, lion, bear, hyena and herbivores like cheetal, sambhar, and blackbuck. The atmosphere of the park is filled with the constant chirping of numerous birds in the park. So far, over 200 species have been listed, including the Common Greenshank, Eurasian Spoonbill, Grey Hornbill, cormorants, etc. The proximity to the lake adds beauty to its landscape.
Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya

Fascinated by the Jama Masjid in Delhi, Shah Jahan Begum wanted a replica to be built in Bhopal. However, the structure of Taj-ul-Masajid was found to be much larger in comparison to Shah Jahan's Jama Masjid.
This is one of the most serene dams of Bhopal.

OT Itinerary: Here's What To Do In Bhopal In Three-Days
![bhopal tourism map The beautiful Upper Lake (Bada Talab) in Bhopal](https://media.assettype.com/outlooktraveller%2F2024-01%2F17eb28de-8943-4ba1-b65f-2f4fbb19faa7%2Fbhopal_lake.jpg?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
Bhopal, also called the City of Lakes, is the capital of Madhya Pradesh. Said to have been founded by Raja Bhoj, who constructed Bhopal, or "Bhojpal," as it was known in the 11th century. The city of lakes (it has 17) is endowed with natural beauty and architectural marvels. The central lake is claimed to have been made by the Malwa ruler to safeguard his kingdom's eastern front. The current metropolis grew up around the body of water.
The city straddles the line between tradition and modernity. The old city is a jumble of chowks, meandering streets, gorgeous mosques, and bazaars. The new part of Bhopal is a modern zone with highways, shopping malls, luxurious hotels, and restaurants. Despite the growing influence of modern buildings, its nawabi culture remains visible. Here is a three-day itinerary for a visit to Bhopal.
The tranquil Upper Lake or Bada Talab, an immense water body surrounded by lush greenery, is Bhopal's distinguishing feature. Choose between paddling boats leisurely on the lake all day or simply sitting and watching the flocks of water birds that fill the skyline above. VIP Road along the Bada Talab is a walker's paradise in the mornings. At night, it transforms into a somewhat quieter version of Mumbai's Marine Drive with bikers and groups of people, crowded with joggers and walkers.
Van Vihar National Park
This urban park is located close to the Bada Talab. The area's floral and faunal diversity is a combination of lush wetlands, meadows, water pools, and mixed bamboo vegetation, as well as grass-covered plateaus and sections of mixed plantations. Located adjacent to the Bada Talab, the view of the city from Van Vihar is quite a sight. Read more about it on the website .
Gohar Mahal
The Gohar Mahal, a remarkable blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture, was built in 1821 by Qudisiya Begum, or Gohar Begum, a former ruler of Bhopal. In fact, Bhopal's famed begums were ambitious rulers. Qudsia, the first begum, was a visionary who built the Jama Masjid. Her daughter Sikandar (1844-68), who ruled Bhopal during its Golden Age, was an equally zealous ruler who dressed like a Muslim monarch and rode unveiled on horseback. The fourth regent, Nawab Sultan Jahan (1901-26), was in her forties when she ascended to the throne. She was appointed as the first Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University in December 1920.
Taj-Ul-Masjid
![bhopal tourism map Taj-Ul-Masjid is one of the most striking mosques in India](https://media.assettype.com/outlooktraveller%2F2024-01%2F046e62b0-5ae2-47a7-bdd4-55e5dac5ae6a%2Ftaj_ul_masjid.jpg?w=640&auto=format%2Ccompress)
Spread over an area of 23,912 sq ft, this is said to be among the largest mosques in India. “Taj-ul-Masajid” translates to “crown among mosques,” and it is easy to see why. A striking broad pink façade, 27 inter-arched ceilings, spacious courtyards, marble flooring, and 67m high minarets make up this arresting structure.
Address : NH 12, Kohefiza, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462001
Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya
The Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sanghralaya is set on 200 acres in Shamla Hills and includes open-air displays, inside galleries, a huge audio-visual library, and a research institute dedicated to India's tribes. Each exhibition is life-like, and visitors can enter the houses and villages to feel what it's like to live in them. The displays were created with the direct participation of the tribes they represent. The museum is vast, so a good idea may be to drive around the space.
Address : Lake View Road, next to RCE campus, Shymala Hills, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462013
Tribal Museum
![bhopal tourism map Striking installations at the Tribal Museum in Bhopal](https://media.assettype.com/outlooktraveller%2F2024-01%2F7159a166-efad-44b3-a4f7-e1667191d6ea%2Fbhopal_tribal_museum.jpg?w=640&auto=format%2Ccompress)
The Tribal Museum distinguishes from others as it highlights the cultural life of the state's seven largest tribes—the Gond, Bheel, Korku, Baiga, Sahariya, Kol, and Bhariya—through their crafts. The brightly lit objects portray tribal living, aesthetics, and spiritual beliefs in a succession of amazing galleries with some roofs as high as three-storey houses. Another handful of galleries highlight the state's cultural diversity as well as the works of Chhattisgarh's tribals. The artworks dangle from trees, leap from walls, or can be viewed from a two-story wooden porch in the centre. Check out their website here .
Address : Shyamla Hills Rd, near State Museum, Shymala Hills, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462002
Bharat Bhavan
Bharat Bhavan is Bhopal's famous, Charles Correa-designed, red sandstone-clad multidisciplinary arts centre. Unlike most museums, the terrace garden-styled space has an open-ended architecture which means there is no singular and enforced way in which to move within this space. From tribal art one could stroll into the lounge next to the library (home to almost thousands of books) where on display are screen-printed handwritten poems and drawings by artists and writers.
Address : Bharat Bhavan Rd, Near Upper Lake, Krishna Nagar, Shymala Hills, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462013
State Museum
The State Museum, whose artefacts were largely collected during the turn of the last century, is an enormous complex of several well-lit and displayed galleries of sculptures, fossils and excavated objects from pre-historic sites, manuscripts and miniature paintings, textiles, coins, heritage of former princely states and even rare musical instruments. Wear walking shoes and amble along its maze of wide limitless galleries that lead in to one another. If you are tired, then relax in the spacious sky-lit courtyard. The bronze and stone sculpture galleries go through the different periods of Buddhism, Jainism, Vaishnavism and Shaivism, as well as Sakti and Tantricism in Madhya Pradesh.
Address : 8, Shyamla Hills Rd, TT Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462013
DAY 3: Travel Around Bhopal
The Kerwa Jungle Camp, located near to the Kerwa Dam, is a great escape, particularly for families with children. Around 15 kilometres from Bhopal, there's lots to do here.

Nature walks, trekking, rappelling, zip lining, kayaking, and other adventure sports are also available.

The best places to sample these foods are at the food kiosks at bustling street corners. To learn about Bhopal's Nawabi food legacy, visit Old Bhopal and eat at the places around Jama Masjid, which was erected by Bhopal's first begum, and its Chowk Bazaar, which is located in the centre of the old city.
Under The Mango Tree
