Recommendations

Ujjain is a city with a rich history and culture. Apart from the places mentioned in the itinerary, you can also visit the Sandipani Ashram, located on the outskirts of the city. The ashram is associated with Lord Krishna and is a peaceful place to meditate. You can also visit the Vedha Shala Observatory, which is believed to be one of the oldest observatories in India. If you have more time, you can plan a side trip to Omkareshwar, a small town located 77 km from Ujjain. It is home to one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and is situated on an island in the Narmada river. To maximize your fun, try the local street food and sweets. Some of the must-try dishes include poha jalebi, kachori, and malpua. Don't forget to carry a water bottle and wear comfortable shoes, as most of the places require a lot of walking.
