Bhopal Walking Tour
Bhopal, India
Why Walk Bhopal
Bhopal is built around two artificial lakes and divided between a congested old city of mosques and bazaars and a planned new city. The Taj-ul-Masajid is one of the largest mosques in India. The Tribal Museum (Museum of Man) is an outstanding open-air museum documenting India's indigenous tribal cultures. The UNESCO-listed Buddhist stupas of Sanchi are just 46 kilometers northeast.
