Overview

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.

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 colours.
