You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning for the 1.5 hour drive to the village of Sanchi. Located in Sanchi is the Great Stupa that was commissioned by Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan dynasty. Legend has it that Emperor Ashoka after his bloody conquest of India was repentant of his deeds and took solace in Buddhism. He built several Stupas across India to preserve and spread the Buddhist faith. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Stupa in Sanchi is one of the best preserved Stupas in India. The Stupa is in the shape of a large hemispherical dome that is 54 feet high. It is surrounded by four ornamental gateways that open up to the four directions. A sandstone pillar is also found on the grounds of the Stupa. Next visit the town of Vidisha, a 15 minutes drive from Sanchi. Your tour will include lunch at a local restaurant (beverage excluded). At the end of the tour you will be driven back to Bhopal and dropped off at your hotel.
