Day Trip Bhopal to Bhimbetka Caves World Heritage and Bhojpur

The cave paintings at Lascaux in France are often described as the greatest prehistoric art in the world. They are 17,000 years old. The paintings at Bhimbetka are nearly twice as old. This UNESCO World Heritage site in the Vindhya hills outside Bhopal has 750 rock shelters with paintings dating back 30,000 years, showing animals, hunters, warriors and magical creatures in layers that span the full arc of human prehistory from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. Forty kilometres away, the Bhojpur Temple was built by King Bhoja in the 11th century — the king who founded Bhopal and wrote a treatise on civil engineering that described the construction of flying machines. His temple was never completed, which makes it more fascinating, not less. Private car from Bhopal, expert guide, entry fees. 5 Senses Tours is recognised by the Department of Tourism, a winner of the Outlook Responsible Tourism Award and the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Award.
