Mandu Transportation

It is very easy now to travel to Mandu from Indore or from Pithampur. There are daily State Transport Buses to Mandu from Indore. If you want to come back by the same day then catch the early morning bus which leaves around 6.00 AM then for return you catch the bust at Mandu at 4.00PM. It takes about 3 hours from one side. But it is always better you stay back for the night and enjoy the place!

for mumbai travellers best way to reach mandu is reach maheshwar by evening it is 510kms.halt for 2 days in maheshwar one day could be spent visiting omkareshwar.on day3 morning one can proceed to mandu 66kms from maheshwar and can be reached in apprx 1 hour but there is ghat section on the way so for smaller vehicles with less hp make it 2 hours. the journey takes you through dense forests and sightings of wildlife are not uncommon.recently jan 2009 a maneating leopard was lynched to death unfortunately when it entered the fields.

from maheshwar come to the main mumbai agra national highway at dhamnod take right turn and go towards a town called gujri.just before gujri watch out for a diversion to left known as "dhar phata"this is unmarked there are no signages indicating way to mandu as very few people from mumbai actually travel on this route.

there is a ghta section with dense jungle,chiktyabad, kuradia lunehra(where a petrol pump is located)just before the toll booth turn left through the petrol pump and proceed towards mandu via kankalpura & nalcha

just before dhaar phata on main highway are some neat stalls selling fresh kachori and samosas they were damn good.
