Founded over a thousand years ago by King Bhoi, Bhopal sits on the Malwa Plateau in the heart of Madhya Pradesh.
The old city owes much of its charm and structure to the Bhopal Begums – female Muslim rulers who left a legacy of cultural richness, architectural beauty, and progressive urban planning. Few tourists make it here, but those who do are rewarded with a city full of intrigue and history, best discovered through expert-led walking tours revealing its Muslim and French influences.
