Rewa
Spend 1–2 days in Rewa: one day for the White Tiger Safari and main sights, a second night if you want to explore forts and nearby waterfalls.
Rewa offers a mix of wildlife (White Tiger Safari), historic forts, palaces and several waterfalls. The attractions are clustered near the city centre, so a single day covers the highlights; an extra night lets you visit the farther waterfalls and relax.
