Chennai to Shirdi with kids(religious trip)...coming soon

Chennai to MadhyaPradesh[Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga(3), Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga(4)].....coming soon

Spiritual Trip with my Friend (Palani).

Me and My Friend thought of visiting 12 Jyotirlingam, thought of exploring best way to accommodate the travel plan.

Our first decision to explore Madhya Pradesh to visit Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar because both in and around 200 km. So we can complete during our Weekend time.

Earlier myself and friend covered Rameswaram (Pamban,TamilNadu), Trimbakeshwar(Trimbak,Maharashtra) with our family.

There is lot of option to reach Indore like Train and Air.

We opted for Air travel to save our time. So we have booked IndiGO flight but direct flight bit costlier, so we have booked connecting flight, Chennai to Nagpur 21^st April 2023, Friday (Boarding Time: 5:05 PM and Departure 5:50 PM)  1 :10 hr layover in Nagpur and Nagpur to Indore on 21^st April 2023,Friday (Boarding Time : 8:00 PM and Departure 8:45 PM ) so total 4 hours 5 minutes. We had our dinner at Nagpur Airport itself and We have also reached Indore on time. 

We thought of taking Auto (Tuk Tuk) to Bus station to reach Mahakaleshwar, Ujjain Since we both have difficult in Hindi language. When we came out from Airport you can notice lot Auto rikshaw and Cab. We also thought of taking Cab to Ujjain if time became issue because its already 10 PM. We have approached few Auto drivers but some of asked bigger price, since we are new to city, we are clueless and finally one guy agreed for Rs.200/- to drop at bus station but he is looking for other as well. 

I am not comfortable with guy was looking for another Auto, he came started vehicle ask to sit and journey started, he started asking questions like where you from and where you going i am bit skeptical but i have told we are going to Ujjain to See Mahakaleshwar his reaction got changed he started your going to visit our Mahakaleshwar. 

He stopped us in the bus stand and he started saying from here you get bus we bit confused. He later saying "you didn't trust me, if you want, I can drop at Ujjain we bit surprised because from Indore to Ujjain almost 50 km. We also feel not safe but he stayed few minutes to convince us and he quoted Rs.1000/- for trip which we had earlier in mind in travel, I started negotiating him Rs.700/- he agreed with amount of Rs.900/- it was good deal on midnight that to 50 + kilometer with unknown city, we assumed auto driver native might be Ujjain so he is dropping on the go. it will be good deal both of us but surprise he came to drop us i asked why he said "You came to See our God" I feel bad myself because initial thought about Auto driver is not good but later he drove 50 kilometer drop, from start we are scared on drive because its national highway, we are using our google map to confirm he is driving to Ujjain only and i am pretty sure, he won’t get return journey passenger because its midnight 12:00. 

What to say "Mahakaleshwar with us " .City is active during night itself we had Gulfi ice wow ..Simply wow. This trip is not planned one. We thought of looking for Hotel since its already 12 PM we didn't get easily.

 we thought of walk round and find Hotel which close to temple but room is not good, We asked other option so he gave ground floor its big one at Rs.1700/- after negotiating since room alteration going but we are ok with the budget and we are close temple.

 

Our first activity to talk bath Holy water
