Bhopal a beautiful place

We moved to Bhopal in June 2013 from Delhi and lived there for 3 years, before moving back to Noida in April 2016 . These 3 years that we spent in the lake city of Bhopal, have some of the most pleasant memories and wonderful experiences of life. This beautiful city, offered and welcomed us, the people of Bhopal were very friendly and helpful. The climate is amazing, even at the peak of summers , it doesn't feel too hot as evenings and mornings are quite pleasant, spring and autumn is always so very beautiful, the different shades of colours in nature liven up the whole place, rainy season is also one of the most lovely seasons there, where you get plenty of rainfall. The level of pollution in this city is minimal, overall a good,clean and liveable city. I would like to share some of my pleasant memories of the place with you'll. The place also helped me to enliven my creative skills.

Some of the must see places to visit in Bhopal are the bharat bhavan, tribal museum, boat club, manav sangrahalaya, shahpura lake and upper lake.

The old city market of Bhopal is worth visiting too, as you can find a whole lot of things there. I love these old markets, as you can find a lot of valuable things of use there, which you normally wouldn't find in the present day modern markets and malls.

The Lokrang festival , which is held in the end of January every year, is worth a visit too for art lovers, as you can find lot of beautifully handcrafted pieces made by the artisans . There are also music and dance shows by performing artists during this 4 day event in Bhopal.

Manav Sangrahalaya is another must see place in bhopal .

Tribal Museum - beautiful display of tribal life, culture and craft traditions.
