Tips for Planning Weekend Trips from Indore
Leave Indore by 5–6 AM for 1-day trips — you need maximum time at the destination
Book return transport in advance — don’t rely on finding cabs at the destination on Sunday evening
For Bhedaghat: always plan as 2 days — 330 km is too far for a day trip
For Mandu in monsoon: check road conditions — the plateau can be inaccessible in very heavy rain
Hotel advance booking is essential October–February — peak travel season
