Looking forward to welcomeing you to MANIT, Bhopal, India!

Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, known as the “City of Lakes” reflects the true combination of the scenic beauty of historical and modern urban planning. Bhopal presents a multifaceted profile; the old city with its teeming market places and fine old mosques and palaces and the new city with its modern edifices. It is located in the north-western part of the state of Madhya Pradesh, in the central region of India. Bhopal City is very well connected via railway, road, and air transportation services. Bhopal has a domestic/international airport with good amenities that connects it directly to Delhi, Mumbai, Indore, Ahmadabad, and Hyderabad. The institute is about 9 km from Bhopal railway station, 07 km from Habibganj railway station, and 18km from Bhopal airport. The weather condition is pleasant during December.

MANIT (Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology) Bhopal is surrounded by several tourist attractions that offer a mix of history, nature, and culture. Close to the campus, Bhojtal (Upper Lake), a serene and scenic spot, is perfect for boating and enjoying the natural beauty of Bhopal. Nearby, Van Vihar National Park provides a chance to see wildlife like tigers, leopards, and various bird species in their natural habitat. Not far from MANIT, the Taj-ul-Masajid, one of the largest mosques in India, stands as an architectural marvel with its grand domes and minarets. For those interested in history, Birla Museum, located nearby, showcases ancient sculptures, artifacts, and relics that reflect India’s rich heritage. A short drive away is Sanchi Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ancient Buddhist stupas and intricate carvings, providing a peaceful and spiritual experience. These attractions, close to MANIT, make Bhopal a culturally and naturally rich destination for visitors, offering a well-rounded experience of the city’s beauty and history.

Travel information refers to details and guidance that help individuals plan their trips effectively. It includes information about destinations, transportation options, visa requirements, weather conditions, local attractions, cultural insights, and safety guidelines.

Additionally, travel advisories provide insights into any safety or health concerns, such as vaccinations, COVID-19 restrictions, or local regulations.
