One of the most stunning historical sights in Central India, Mandu crowns a small plateau that spectacularly rises above the surroundings. The views from here in any direction are superb and they become even more magical during the monsoons when several waterfalls gush down the plateau and the complete area becomes verdant green. During the magical spell of monsoons, when old buildings of the fort get mirrored in the lakes, Mandu is considered one of the most romantic historical site in India
The most beautiful group is the Rewa Kund group. Mandu’s repute of a romantically inspired place is most pronounced here. Here, thefamous m
usician Prince Baz Bahadur got a beautiful lake and a palace built for his extremely beautiful mistress Roopmati just next to his own palace. She was a shepherdess and agreed to come to Mandu only on condition that she should be able to view the sacred river Narmada. Narmada River is thus visible from the great height of Roopmati’s pavilion. 
The Palace of Baz Bahadur is also a remarkably large and beautiful building. The spectacular views of the countryside and valleys below from both the palaces especially during sunsets and sunrises are sure not to be missed! | Best time to visit | Very hot in summer months. Winter is cool and pleasant. Monsoon months (July to September) are the best and most pleasant months to visit Mandu (All lakes and ponds get completely filled giving a magical touch to the whole atmosphere). |
