A drive between two Narmada pilgrimage towns: from the island temple of Omkareshwar through Barwaha and the old Nimar headquarters of Mandleshwar to Maheshwar.

Before you go: Omkareshwar to Maheshwar along the Narmada

Best time to go

Oct–Mar

October to March suits most of the country. The southwest monsoon (June to September) floods the Western Ghats and Kerala, but it is also the main season for Ladakh and Spiti, where high passes are usually open only from June to October.
