General Information
Gwalior is the perfect entry point into Madhya Pradesh. It will instantly give you a feel of the state’s history, landscape and people. The people of Gwalior are as tough and resilient as its terrain. Named after Saint Gwalipa, Gwalior is a verdant city but only if you look at the canopy cover. They have crossed swords with the mightiest armies in the country down the ages; and more recently, they have come into conflict with the dacoits who have plundered the Chambal River Valley. Modern Gwalior is divided into four sections: the Old Town, the New Town, Lashkar, and Morar – which is the cantonment area. The city is watered by numerous rivers including the great Chambal in the north, the Sindh in the south, the Londara in the southeast, the Pawaya in the west and the Kunwari in the northwest. Right next to the Gwalior Fort is the Swarnrekha River. Begin your sightseeing with the Fort to get a feel of this picturesque town.
