Shivpuri




Shivpuri, the administrative headquarters of Shivpuri District, is a historic town situated on National Highway 2. It is 103 km south-west of Gwalior.

Shivpuri, though now wields a modern look, the royal legacy of its past still lingers on amongst the old structures, majestic palaces, hunting lodges and the royal streets. Its sylvan surroundings and the undulating hills coupled with a charming climate made it a natural choice as the summer resort capital of the Scindias. Earlier, the woods were the hunting ground for the Mughals.

Places of tourist interest include Madhav National Park, Madhav Vilas Palace, George Castle, Bhadaiya Kund, Sakhya Sagar Lake and the royal chhatries.
