Madhya Pradesh, often referred to as the heart of India, is set to enchant tourists with two grand festivals in the upcoming months. The state’s Tourism Board is gearing up to showcase the rich cultural tapestry and diverse wildlife through the Gandhi Sagar Floating Festival and the debut of the Kuno Forest Festival.
Gandhi Sagar Floating Festival:
Mark your calendars for October 27th as the serene backwaters of Gandhi Sagar near Mandsaur come alive with the second edition of the Gandhi Sagar Floating Festival. Nestled close to the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary, this festival promises a blend of thrilling adventure, captivating entertainment, and immersive cultural experiences.
Visitors can indulge in exhilarating activities such as kayaking, jet skiing, hot air ballooning, horse riding, air gun shooting, speed boating, and parasailing. The festival also offers a unique opportunity to delve into Madhya Pradesh’s cultural heritage with traditional art showcases, cultural performances, and a taste of the local cuisine. For those seeking a touch of luxury, the Gandhi Sagar Forest Retreat (Tent City) provides a lavish glamping experience in all-weather tents.
Kuno Forest Festival:
Starting December 1st, the Kuno Forest Festival invites travelers to embark on a mesmerizing journey through the Kuno National Park. This festival holds special significance as it marks the return of cheetahs to India after a hiatus of 72 years. Historical attractions like the Sheopur Fort, Dob Kund, and ancient caves reminiscent of the Mughal era will transport visitors back in time.
Guided safaris will offer glimpses of the park’s diverse wildlife, including leopards, deer, bluebucks, and migratory birds. Beyond just an adventure, the Kuno Festival promises memories that will linger for years to come.
A Modern Retreat Amidst Nature:
Both festivals, in collaboration with Lalluji & Sons, are designed to provide a novel experience. Luxury tent cities, set against the picturesque backdrop of Madhya Pradesh’s landscapes, ensure that visitors enjoy contemporary comforts while being cradled by nature.
Conservation at the Forefront:
Chief Wildlife Warden Aseem Shrivastava emphasizes the festivals’ role in promoting wildlife conservation. By bringing people closer to nature and its inhabitants, the events aim to foster a deeper understanding of wildlife’s crucial role in maintaining ecological balance.
