How should I plan my visit to the Sanchi Stupa and Bhimbetka Caves?

Auto-rickshaws and app-based cabs like Ola/Uber are most reliable. For longer distances, booking a full-day taxi is more convenient.

Accepted Answer

The VIP Road area is well-lit and safe, but avoid secluded spots near the lake banks after dark. Stick to populated promenades.

Don't miss the Poha-Jalebi for breakfast and Bhopal's famous Bhopali Paan and Mughlai cuisine for dinner.
