About this Destination

Shivpuri is another legendary city in the state of Madhya Pradesh with immense historical significance because it is around this area where both Hindu and Mughal Emperors ruled for a long time. Shivpuri is a city and a municipality in Shivpuri district in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The city named after Lord Shiva, served as the haven of Kachhawaha Rajputs until 1804 and later it was taken over by the Scindias. It also holds significance to the pre-Independence times because it is here that the great freedom fighter Tatya Tope was hanged to death. With a very minimal population and located at a height of 478 meters above sea level coupled with some of the most exotic attractions, Shivpuri makes up for an ideal destination option for a quick getaway!
