SANCHI
Sanchi, A UNESCO world heritage site, just an hours’ drive from Bhopal is one of the most extensive and well-kept Buddhist sites in India. Built in the 2nd century it is dominated by the Great Stupa and its four magnificent and intricately carved gateways, and within the enclosure are several further monasteries to be explored. Further north from Sanchi lies Udaygiri, home to the beautiful 5th century AD rock cut caves carved into the hillside.
