Mindblowing Mandu: Riding to magnificence into the heart of India
Hello people,
Here comes another trip of mine. This time rode with friends to a place called Mandu in the State of Madhya Pradesh in India. More information about the place can we read on WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandu,_Madhya_Pradesh.
So here goes our trip:
A few bad patches of road along the way:
![]()
Tents by term..but cozy and extremely spacious inside. At MPTDC's Malwa Resort, Mandu
![]()
The magnificient Jahaz Mahal!
![]()
![]()
The Kapur Tank...all for entertainment, rather a pleasurely boat ride for the lovely ladies of the bygone Mandu Era.
![]()
![]()
The Munja tank in the backdrop of the Jal Mahal
![]()
All shattered by time
![]()
The Hindola Mahal (Swinging Palace)
![]()
And this is where all the swinging used to happen. The swings were tied on to those arches and the pretty ladies would go "WHEEEEEEEEEE!"
![]()
Not to be missed...Daal Baafla, with Laddu arriving later. One of the most awesome-st dinner I ever had.
![]()
Towards Roopmati's pavilion
![]()
The approach road, which we skipped
![]()
Resting place for the troops
![]()
A few narrow passages inside the pavilion
![]()
Water cistern with filtration facilities
![]()
The Mandu Lake
![]()
Monkeys at peace
![]()
Dai Ki Chhoti Bahan Ka Mahal...long name that!

wow... i was just about to get the pilot sporty this weekend... ******************** you just saved me at the right moment.
@TheIronHorse: Thanks a lot bro. Yeah the present odometer reads 83,775 kms! The rear tyre is the Michelin Pilot Sporty 140/70-17. Doesn't look as imposing as the Contigos. It's good in dry and corner well, but a wet patch will send jitters down your spine. Absolutely horrendous grip in wet conditions. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone- plus myself won't go for it again. Pirellis would be my next change.
already tried conti's then IRC and then dunlop.. guess.. either i should go with pierelli else michelin street radial..
either ways each is like 5500 ..
waiting for you to hit a 100k a long term review would be very helpful if you can spare some time...
thanks.
15k is quite less for a change- stick for around 5k kms more. You know my stock front Contigo was changed at 44,000 kms
I somehow like the pattern and look of the Pirelli- plus it looks slightly bigger than the Michelins.
44k ?????
wow... i will let run the IRC for another 10 i guess.. the tread is almost close to a new tyre.... will replace rear with pirelli/michelin radial as suggested...
taking advise from someone who might have tried multiple sets by now is always helpful. thanks a ton mate...
