About Bhopal

Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, is a fascinating amalgam of scenic beauty, an old historic city, and modern urban planning. Split by a pair of lakes, Bhopal is two cities within a city. Towards the North is the old city, a fascinating area of mosques, serpentine alleys, crowds, exotic havelis & crowded bazaars. 


South of the two lakes is the new Bhopal. Modern, with wide roads, upmarket shopping complexes, plush hotels, and restaurants nestled comfortably in the area and Shamla Hills, which overlook the lakes and the old city beyond. Equally impressive is the new city with its verdant, exquisitely laid out parks and gardens, broad avenues & streamlined modern edifices. It is greener and cleaner than most cities in the country.
