Madhya Pradesh is not called the 'heart of India' only because of its location in the centre of the country. It has been home to the cultural heritage of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Innumerable monuments, exquisitely carved temples, stupas, forts and palaces are dotted all over the State.
The natural beauty of the State is equally varied. Consisting largely of a plateau, the State has everything. Spectacular mountain ranges, meandering rivers and miles and miles of dense forests. In fact, a large part of the State is forested, offering a unique and exciting panorama of wildlife. In the National Parks of Kanha, Bandhavgarh, Panna and Pench, you can spot the tiger, the bison and a wide variety of deer and antelope. But perhaps the best part about Madhya Pradesh is its accessibility. Bordered by five States, it is equally close to major tourist destinations from the North, South, East and West. Whether you are in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai or Kolkata, you're never very far from Madhya Pradesh !
