2 Days in Indore for a Nature Trip
Indore might be known for its food, but it's also got some surprisingly green spots that make for a perfect nature getaway. Over these two days, you'll discover peaceful gardens, a beautiful lake, and even a mini jungle right in the city. I've spent many mornings walking these paths and still find new things to appreciate each time.

Activities
Morning at Rajwada Palace
Start your day at the grand Rajwada Palace, a stunning blend of Maratha, Mughal, and French architecture. The seven-story palace, though partially ruined, has a charming courtyard and intricate wooden carvings. The nearby market is perfect for picking up local souvenirs.
- Visit early to avoid crowds and heat.
- Don’t miss the light and sound show in the evening if you’re around later.
Relax at Patalpani Waterfall
A short drive from the city, Patalpani is a serene waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. The monsoon season (July-September) is the best time to see it in full flow, but it’s a peaceful spot year-round. The short hike to the falls is easy and scenic.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the short walk.
- Carry water and snacks—there aren’t many vendors nearby.
Evening at Sarafa Bazaar
As the sun sets, Sarafa Bazaar transforms from a jewelry market into a buzzing street food paradise. Try Indore’s famous poha-jalebi, garadu (spicy yam), and bhutte ka kees (grated corn cooked with spices). The lively atmosphere and endless food options make it a must-visit.
- Go hungry—there’s a lot to try!
