Tour questions travellers ask
What is the best time to visit Indore and surrounding areas? +
TravelTaxi: October to March offers pleasant weather, ideal for sightseeing. The monsoon months (July-September) can be beautiful but may hinder some outdoor activities.
How spicy is the local cuisine? +
TravelTaxi: Indore's street food can be quite spicy. However, we can always request milder versions for our guests. Do try the famous poha-jalebi breakfast, which is generally not spicy.
Are there shopping opportunities on this tour? +
TravelTaxi: Yes, especially for unique handicrafts and textiles. Chanderi is famous for its sarees and fabrics, while Bhopal offers a range of local handicrafts. We can arrange dedicated shopping time in each location if desired.
Is photography allowed at the temples and historical sites? +
TravelTaxi: Most outdoor areas allow photography. However, many temples restrict or prohibit indoor photography. Our guide will advise you at each location about specific rules.
How physically demanding is this tour? +
TravelTaxi: While most sites in Bhopal and Sanchi are easily accessible, Pachmarhi involves some hiking and uneven terrain. We can adjust the itinerary for those with mobility concerns, but comfortable walking shoes are essential.
