Mandu

Perched atop the lush Vindhya Ranges, Mandu (also known as Mandavgarh) is a breathtaking hilltop fortress city that narrates tales of love, valor, and timeless architecture. Once the capital of the Malwa region, Mandu is a masterpiece of Afghan art and Rajput grandeur, wrapped in the romantic legend of Prince Baz Bahadur and Queen Roopmati.

Strolling through Mandu feels like walking through poetry carved in stone — from the iconic Jahaz Mahal (Ship Palace) floating between twin lakes, to the echoing corridors of Hindola Mahal, and the serene Roopmati Pavilion overlooking the Narmada valley. The monsoon turns Mandu into a fairytale landscape, with mist, music, and the fragrance of wet earth enhancing its charm.

Whether you’re a history buff, photographer, or hopeless romantic, Mandu invites you to lose yourself in its magical ruins and rediscover the beauty of love and life.
