Bhopal Tours & Holidays

Mention the name Bhopal and most will immediately think disaster. It was here, in December 1984, that one of the world's worst industrial catastrophes took place as the Union Carbide factory spewed toxic gas into the air, killing between 15,000 and 30,000 people. After almost three decades, the wounds of that terrible night are beginning to heal, leaving Bhopal an interesting and pleasant place to visit and from which to explore. The city itself is a pretty place, built around green hills and dramatic lakes and is home to some of central India's most beautiful architecture. Echoing Lahore, Peshawar and old Delhi the streets of the old town are a colourful labyrinth of narrow streets and noisy bazaars, spectacular mosques and exquisite palaces.
