Best Hotels with Activities in Bhopal

Bhopal is a lake city built around the Upper Lake (Bada Talaab) and Lower Lake, with Van Vihar National Park's walking safari sitting right on the water's edge. Families base themselves near the New Market or Habibganj (Rani Kamlapati) side of town for easy reach to the Museum of Man's open-air tribal villages, the domed Taj-ul-Masajid, and day trips to the Sanchi Stupa or Bhimbetka rock shelters, both under an hour away. Kanha Fun City, a water and amusement park on the city's edge, is the go-to half-day out for kids between museum visits. Winters (October to February) are the easiest months to explore on foot with children; summer afternoons get hot enough that hotel pools and shaded lake walks matter more than sightseeing.
