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.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

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.

Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.

  • Buses from Khandwa or Indore can be slow and crowded; check departure times in advance.
  • Few English speakers outside hotels; have your destination written in Hindi.
