Day 01: Arrival & Heritage Walk in Bhopal

Upon arrival in Bhopal, the City of Lakes, you’ll be greeted and transferred to your hotel/resort to freshen up. Begin exploring this Halal-friendly travel destination in India, famous for its serene lakes, Indo-Islamic architecture, and rich Mughal-era history.

Founded in the 18th century by Dost Mohammed Khan, Bhopal is unique for being ruled by the Begums of Bhopal (women rulers) for over a century, leaving behind a remarkable Islamic heritage and cultural legacy.

Start your Bhopal Islamic Heritage Tour at the Taj-ul-Masajid, one of the largest mosques in Asia, with its grand pink façade, massive domes, and towering minarets. Visit the elegant Moti Masjid, known for its pearl-white marble and resemblance to Delhi’s Jama Masjid. Continue to Gohar Mahal, built by Qudsia Begum in 1820, blending Indo-Islamic styles, and Kamlapati Palace, standing gracefully on the banks of Upper Lake.

In the evening, enjoy the tranquil charm of Upper Lake (Bhojtaal), India’s oldest man-made lake, and the picturesque Lower Lake, separated by the iconic Arch Bridge. These lakes are the soul of Bhopal, ideal for families and nature lovers.
