6th December 2005 - 12:30 pm

Drove some 5Kms from Vidisha to see the caves of Udayagiri and the Hindu and Jain shrines in them.

At 1:00 pm started from Udaygiri and went back to Bhopal reaching by 4:00pm.

Took a room at Hotel Kings in the crowded market area. Room was just so-so at Rs 250/- and had a small TV.

For dinner, walked to Azad Market's famous  "Shikha Hotel" and had a nice veg Thali. Back in hotel by 9pm

Tomorrow drive on to Pachmarhi!
