Major city · India
Khargone
Half a day is enough for Khargone: see the Navgraha Mandir and the 12th-century Pawagiri Jain temple, then move on to Omkareshwar or Mandu.
Khargone is a fast-growing city of about 110,000 people on the Kunda river, known for its chili and cotton production and for having dozens of temples. Most travellers use it as a short stop between Indore and the Narmada valley temples — half a day covers the main sights.
