Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact distance and travel time from Indore to Omkareshwar?

The road distance from Indore to Omkareshwar is approximately 77 kilometers (48 miles) via the most direct route through Mhow and Simrol. The typical journey time ranges from 2 to 2.5 hours under normal conditions. This duration can vary based on several factors including traffic conditions, especially around Indore city limits, the specific pickup location within Indore, weather conditions (particularly during monsoon), and any stops you might make along the way. The route includes some ghat (hill) sections in the latter part of the journey that require careful driving. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend planning for at least 2.5 hours of travel time to account for potential variables.

Is it possible to visit Omkareshwar as a day trip from Indore?

Yes, Omkareshwar is perfectly suited for a day trip from Indore. The relatively short distance (77 km) means you can comfortably travel there and back within a day while still having ample time for temple darshan and related activities. For a fulfilling day trip, we recommend:

• Departing Indore between 7:00-8:00 AM

• Reaching Omkareshwar by 9:30-10:30 AM

• Spending 4-5 hours at the temple and surrounding sites

• Starting return journey by 3:00-4:00 PM
