Food to try
Central Indian food borrows from every side: poha jalebi for breakfast in Indore, bhutte ka kees, dal bafla and Bhopali kebabs. Indore's Sarafa night market is one of the best street food streets in the country.
Culture & customs
This is the old heartland, with Chandela, Bundela and Mughal layers in the same region. The Khajuraho carvings are temple art, not spectacle, and local guides explain them with more context than the signboards.
Best time to visit
October to March
Winter is dry and comfortable, and tiger parks reopen in October after the monsoon closure. April to June crosses 45C in this part of India.
