Trip to Sanchi (near Bhopal)

It all started when my father was going for a training in Bhopal for two days. My mother and I went along with my father to visit places in and around Bhopal.

First Day:
We started to Sanchi at about 9:00 AM. It is about 2 hours drive there, though the distance is 46KMs. The roads were pretty bad. I never saw such bad roads in any state capital. The greenery was excellent. We went to Sanchi and spent about 2 hours there. We wanted to see the museum, but it was closed as it is on every friday.


This is the view of Sanchi Stupa #1 from the main entrance of the Sanchi Stupa complex. The history of it  can be seen in the following picture:


There are amazing lot of pictures I have taken there. But, these two are the only one I can post for now. If anybody goes to Bhopal, they should visit Sanchi.
