The cave paintings at Lascaux in France are often described as the greatest prehistoric art in the world. They are 17,000 years old. The paintings at Bhimbetka are nearly twice as old.
This UNESCO World Heritage site in the Vindhya hills outside Bhopal has 750 rock shelters with paintings dating back 30,000 years, showing animals, hunters, warriors and magical creatures in layers that span the full arc of human prehistory from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
Forty kilometres away, the Bhojpur Temple was built by King Bhoja in the 11th century — the king who founded Bhopal and wrote a treatise on civil engineering that described the construction of flying machines. His temple was never completed, which makes it more fascinating not less.
Private car from Bhopal, expert guide, entry fees and lunch included.

Bhimbetka Caves
The Bhimbetka Rock Shelter has the oldest-known rock art in India. In fact it is one of the largest prehistoric complexes globally, comprising over 750 rock shelters spread across seven hills. These shelters provide insights into human habitation from the Stone Age to historic times. The cave paintings depict a variety of themes, including animals, early human activities, and later scenes like warriors on horseback, possibly from the Bronze Age. The paintings evolved from simple depictions of animals and hunting scenes to more complex themes, including religious symbols and magical creatures. The paintings are executed in natural colors.

Bhimbetka a real Wonder

5.00Guide Yadav was well informed, friendly and is a third generation archeologist-expert. Bhimbetka is out of this world; well maintained and way before man organised himself into complicated outcomes.
Mesmerizing paintings in pre historic caves

5.00This was a totally awsome day. We visited prehistoric caves which had incredible paintings. It was surreal. The ancient people captured their daily life on the cave walls. The tour company sent a fantastic guide who spoke excellent English and knew his stuff. The car was also very comfortable. I would highly recommend this.

5.00This was our first visit to Bhopal and the central part of India. This is so much different from the usual crowded indian cities. We enjoyed the prehistoric art at the caves and the lovely countryside. Our guide was awesome and made us comfortable by adapting to our pace. We took a lot of photos and tested his patience! The tour operator took excellent care of us including pick and drop to hotel, air-conditioned car, entry charges and an excellent local cuisine lunch. Very highly recommended.
