A small riverine town on the Narmada whose glory was restored by the Maratha queen Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century. The fort, ghats, and temples are immaculate. The Rehwa Society here keeps the Maheshwari silk weaving tradition alive.

Honest take for Jul: Monsoon — cooler temperatures, fewer crowds. Carry rain gear; some outdoor sites may be slippery. (high crowds.)
