Thanks
Samba, yes, this part of MP is little less explored. But I am glad, I got see some seriously good places this side.
As for opening the innings, the real cameos are well underway to sweep everything in the coming days. I am surely waiting for those mega blockbusters.

Thanks for the good words
Pawan, Lucknow is pure love no matter how many times one pays a visit. I am glad I could evoke some memories for you. I missed staying in Lucknow for some more days, will be doing it soon. Galoutis and Niharis shouldn’t wait for too much. Meanwhile, will look forward to reading your adventure log.

Thanks, you must visit the Central India
LONG_TOURER, it’s beautiful and equally enchanting. Going by two of the beauties that you own, it would be a pleasurable drive for sure.

Though our worksite is faraway, we stayed here as we can get some good food, compared to other towns nearby. One more reason is easy accessibility of Khajuraho. There will be so many Maruti Omni Vans waiting outside Jhansi Railway Station to pick up people travelling to Khajuraho.
Now, it seems that Khajuraho has become full pledged town, with so many options to stay and eat. |
Nice to know of your experience back in those days
Umash. Khajuraho is now a bustling town, although it still retains some of the charm for sure.

Many thanks
petrolfumes, it’s wonderful to find someone from the same land here. And surely I will be back soon, loved the entire Chatarpur district. Too much left to explore yet !!

Thanks
Dieseltuned, Orchaa is beautiful. I wonder why this place is not on every traveller’s list ? Regarding the checks, no I was not stopped anywhere at all. Even the hotels didn’t ask for vaccine certificates at all, although we all were carrying it.

Thanks
Mile_Breaker, you were almost on the same journey and I too, was getting the updates from the common source. I hope we get to see your travelogue in this forum too.
As far the Biryani, I skipped having Biryani this time. But, I have always liked Lucknow biryani as they are light and fluffy. Of course, one does miss the Kolkata one but then that’s the beauty of having biryani at different places.
You have visited almost every must visit shop in Lucknow, next time try Rahim’s Nihari. Let’s meet some day and we can discuss over some biryani.
Regards.
