Maheshwar Trips & Tours

On first inspection, Maheshwar is a sleepy little place. A walled city on the edge of the holy Narmada River, it has long held spiritual significance and pilgrims travel from far and wide to pray and immerse themselves in the sun-spangled waters. Boats float up and down and as the sun dips below the horizon, strains of chanting fill the air in a sensory experience like no other. But delve a little deeper, and you’ll find a hive of activity: the ghats are a whirl of colour and gossip and a wander through the streets of the Old Quarter will reveal multi-coloured buildings and a frenzy of weavers attending to the iconic silk fabric, Maheshwari. For travellers, it’s a spot to enjoy a little R&R, well away from the tourist path – and up your temple intake substantially!
