Chowk (Bazaar)

A visit to the Chowk (Bazaar), in the heart of the Old City, can be a wonderful way to gain insight into the daily lives of Bhopal's warm, friendly citizens. Its ramshackle streets are lined with old havelis and atmospheric stalls; it's impossible not to get involved in the village vibe, where shopping, hard-core haggling, and gossiping occupy one's time. Shop around for embroidered velvet cushions, tussar silk, silver jewelry, and intricate beadwork.

Its a must to visit this old city market and walk around the narrow lanes to see how the old city functions and also to get some great bargains on the special arts of Bhopal like the bead work and the hand embroidery that Bhopal is known for.

The Lakes
		These lakes highly contribute towards beautifying the landscape of Bhopal and are credited as the artwork of Raja Bhoj. The Upper Lake is 6 sq. km. in area and is divided from the Lower Lake by an over bridge. MP Tourism's Yacht Club provides facilities and warrants exciting trips by sail, paddle and motor boats at the Upper Lake. 'Van Vihar' (safari park) and the fish-shaped aquarium near the place also contribute towards its popularity amongst the locals and tourists.

Shaukat Mahal
		Shaukat Mahal exhibits Gothic and post-Renaissance architectural patterns and is a beautiful amalgamation of both oriental and occidental architectural styles. Thought to be designed by a Frenchman, it is strikingly different from the other Muslim monuments in its vicinity, especially with the triangular arches that adorn its roof. The white exterior of the building, carved with exquisite floral patterns, makes it stand out amongst all the antique monuments of Bhopal. Situated at the entrance to the chowk area in the heart of the walled city, Shaukat Mahal is an architectural curiosity. Nearby is the elegant, once-opulent Sadar Manzil, Hall of Public Audience of the former rulers of Bhopal.

Bharat Bhavan
		Designed by the preeminent Indian architect, Charles Correa, the breezy, modern Bharat Bhavan, overlooking Upper Lake, is one of the best cultural centers in the country, showcasing some wonderful contemporary and tribal art exhibitions. The centre houses a museum of arts, an art gallery, a workshop for fine arts, a repertory theatre, indoor and outdoor auditoria, rehearsal room, and libraries of Indian poetry, classical and folk music.

Van Vihar National Park
		Van Vihar is situated on the fringe of upper lake, which is a 'RAMSAR SITE' and the lifeline of capital city of Madhya Pradesh. It is a special area, which enjoys the status of a National park as well as "Large zoo", as per the standard fixed by the Central Zoo Authority of India. Rare combination of thrills of jungle and learning experience of Zoo can be visualized here in the heart of the city. Nature has tremendous capacity to resurrect itself and Van Vihar National Park is a live example that reflects its valuable capacity to rejuvenate itself. An area of 445.21 hectares of degraded, denuded and heavily excavated hillock in the city was provided legal protection after it was declared as a National Park way back on 18th of January 1983. The area has now been transformed into an island of natural wilderness due to continuous strict protection and sincere scientific management.
