If you have limited time, skip the Jantar Mantar and Sandipani Ashram to condense the trip to two days, focusing on the Mahakaleshwar Temple and nearby ghats. Conversely, extend your stay by an extra day to explore the nearby historic town of Udaipur (Madhya Pradesh) and its beautiful lakes, or take a day‑trip to the ancient Buddhist site of Siddhpur. Adjusting travel modes—opting for a night train from Delhi to Indore—can also reduce flight costs while offering a unique experience.
