I had never heard of these falls, having lived in M.P. for nearly 9 years now. A point to ponder for M.P. Tourism? Anyway, the taxi driver mentioned it on the way from Orchha to Khajuraho, and it was also the right time- monsoon was still on, so there was lots of water. The Panna Reserve Forest is also right there.. remember Panna Diamond mines? And Heera Panna, the film? The river is Ken, by the way. We also saw the Betwa- stayed on its banks, in Orchha just before this.
Tigers? We got a few National Parks where they roam.
Religious/spiritual? We have Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Maheshwar.
Waterfall? There's Paataal-pani.
History? Mandu ticks the boxes.
Fort? There's Gwalior.
Geological history? A less-known aspect, that Dhar district was home to dinosaurs, and has a number of petrified (fossilised, colourful) logs similar to those in Arizona's Petrified Forest National Park, USA.
Khajuraho has amazing erotic sculptures, like Konark. And Raneh Falls, a hidden gem nearby. See pic below-
The river Narmada has many scenic points along its way through M.P. One of these is the Marble Rocks, near Jabalpur in Bhedaghat.
For one state, that's a lot! I once wrote a Case on M.P. Tourism, but that focused on leadership..of the State Tourism Board.
Next to Karnataka, I may have stayed the longest in this state, if I discount Andhra Pradesh where I was born and brought up. Except for a visit to Jabalpur and Indore when in my teens, I did not know much about M.P. But it grew on me. I made a lot of friends who I found were very nice.. students, academic associates, faculty and staff who I had a chance to work with, all thanks to IIM Indore, my employer. I also discovered that many of my students from elsewhere belonged to M.P., and my respect for the state grew. Another reason
Among faculty, Harsh Halve from IMT Nagpur was also in Indore (Jaipuria) for part of my stay, and Aditya Billore and Ashish were both my colleagues and in my area. Aditya and I also co-taught a course for the EPGP. IIM Indore has a beautiful campus, and some beautiful people living on it. Of course, they came from all over India, but I made many friends among FPM students, and PGPs (Mumbai too), PGP MX, and even IPMs, though I never formally taught them. Also, my fourth edition of Marketing Research got published there, and so did a book (edited) titled Digital Marketing Cases From India, with Romi Sainy as co-editor.
Organiser was Sanmira who also sang a couple of good songs- Hari Om Hari by Usha Uthup was one. But the pick of the singers were Atul Patha...
