It's an awesome place to visit while on your trip to Sanchi stupa. Very rare and beautiful carved sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses. a must visit place specially in monsoon.

One of the archeological centre in India. Don't go in afternoon or in summer season. It's very hot in top side. We have to walk for 25 - 40 minutes to cover the entire place in the rock hills. Vehicle parking area is available near to the ticket counter.

-Bhopal to udaigiry distance under 60km aprrox -Tiket price online discount --3 Person for 60rs . Other wise 75rs. - 15 caves and beautiful view -BETWA RIVER -local village 08/09/2023

A place for nature lovers. Old ancient caves and figurines. Although there is not much too to see but you can go at the top of hill and enjoy the scenic view. Also, the road to reach the udaigiri caves are not good as there is construction of railway flyover is going on, so you might get stuck in the traffic for long time.

Possibly sometime in the early 5th century, artisans began work at Udayagiri under the patronage of the mighty Gupta ruler Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (375-414 AD) creating what is today seen as a cave temple complex. Visiting Udaigiri Caves in the Summer is quite impossible due to too much heat.

Rich history of India which people seldom realise exist just an hour away from hectic life of city. Must see the awesome sunset from the top of the hills inside the site. Must see are caves 3,4,5,6,9,13,19 and 20

Brilliant experience! The site shows the richness our motherland brings to us. We all should be proud of its rich heritage. I was so happy to see all the fossils and artefacts. The view from the top is excellent. The entry fee is 25 per person, and I did not see much of a rush, so you get adequate time to see the monuments.

Don't Know Much About The History But Those Were Some Seriously Old Carvings On An Entire Giant Mountain.. Many Caves dedicated to lord vishnu and Jain Religion.. What A Treat To Watch Further Devlopes My Intrest To Archaeological History ..

This place is all about vishnu ji , the mountain is carved and a sculpture of vishu ji is made here some other little carvings are also here no actual caves are made here . The ticket is 25 rupees . The actual mountain view is good the places for tea and little snacks are also there you get some piece if mind here

Mesmerising caves of ancient times that tells the legend of ancient Vidisha ( besnagar). This place a must-visit if you are near.

Sunset is looks awesome, the Caves are not that much big as bheembatika but it's good. Ancient art and sculptures are good to see. Ticket price is Rs. 25 per person, tickets are available in the office, parking space is enough, no access ormf wheel chair inside, all over the place is good to go for a low walk trekking.

Best place to spend your weekends. The place natural ambiance in post mansoon and winter season.after historical caves walk in woody, rocky area is itself fun. The place is extensively wild for trekking though it have very minimal terrains to walk and few spots on cliffs are great to enjoy sunset. The photos are from mid Aug.

Sunset is very beautiful at Udaigiri.

These caves are located near Sanchi. It is dedicated to lord Vishnu. If you are visiting Sanchi and you have some time, you can visit here. Caves are locked, you can only view it from outside. It is very difficult to understand and see unless you are an archeologist. There is a climb of 20 minutes. Food and other options are very limited. I would recommend to only go, if you have extra time.

The Udayagiri Caves are twenty rock-cut caves near Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh from the early years of the 5th century Old ancient caves and figurines. Although there is not much too to see but you can go at the top of hill and enjoy the scenic view.

The Udayagiri Caves are twenty rock-cut caves near sanchi in MP and are more than 1500 years old. They contain some of the oldest surviving hindu temples and iconography in India. They are very well presrved by ASI. Some sculptures and idols carved on the mountain face of the caves are are very rare and unique. The ganesha carving and engraving near cave no.6 is one of the oldest ganesha idols in the country.

Very nice place i love this place

Indian heritage is protected nicely, but I fail to understand why caves are locked?

Well maintained and secure heritage site to visit. The Varah, Vishnu, mahishasurmardini, kartikeya, mulkhaling from Gupta era are very much beautiful and one of their kinds.

Pro tip: Dont go to the entrance directly. First buy tickets at the opposite end of the parking entrance. Else you will unnecessarily do to and fro. Also only paytm and cash works no other UPI is accepted. This is amazingly beautiful place. It is very underrated compared to its beauty. If you catch sunrise or sunset then you will never forget the beauty of this place. Just seating and diving into the beauty of this place is peaceful as well as romantic if you are with partner. I would not recommend to go in very sunny and hot days. At the same time it is disappointing to see people spoiling such beautiful place with littering everywhere.

It's a very good tourist spot situated near Vidisha dist. Take 1.45pm from a Bhupal. To see all cave take 1.30 to 2 hrs time. Tickets Rs 25.

Caves of Gupta Raaj Vansh 9th century.. can't explain in words. One must visit the place when Visiting VIDISHA. Its an amazing experience when saw sleeping Vishnu statue. Also One Shivling with Shiva Face on it in cave no16.

This place has its share of history , ticket you can buy from asi site too. I didn’t find any guide here. You can also go on the top for views. There is washroom is also there which is kinda clean but not maintained. There was not too much crowd.

Nice place to visit with archeological and historical importance . Best time is to witness sunset from the top.

Udaigiri is a beautiful cave temple complex which is well maintained and has a lot of the sculptures and reliefs intact.It is quite a walk to get to the cave complex and as you keep going there is a view point which gives you a view of the surrounding farms.

It's a superb place where history comes alive. Thanks to the Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board for keeping it simple yet clean. Unlike places like Konark Sun Temlple, you'll find no shop or crowd selling souvenirs and food items. So, there is no garbage, no crowd, only History that helps one soak in the Indian heritage and ancient culture presence in a serene atmosphere. There is the longest sculpture of Lord Vishnu found so far and many other ancient sculptures as well. Parking and clean toilet are also available for visitors. Ticket: Rs. 40 per head Parking: Free

Overall good place for people who likes historical monuments

Historical site worth visiting for history enthusiasts. Although for the non interested ones it's not as much a recommended place to have fun. Requires walking through a long, though not steep, uphill, that really has the capability of sucking up your energy really fast especially in scorching temperatures. Most of the caves are locked by see through doors but for those interested in historical events and architecture, it's worthwhile.

The Udayagiri Caves are twenty rock-cut caves near Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh from the early years of the 5th century CE. They contain some of the oldest surviving Hindu temples and iconography in India. The Udayagiri Caves complex consists of twenty caves, of which one is dedicated to Jainism and all others to Hinduism. The Jain cave is notable for one of the oldest known Jaina inscriptions from 425 CE, while the Hindu Caves feature inscriptions from 401 CE.[ They are the only site that can be verifiably associated with a Gupta period monarch from its inscriptions.  Udayagiri caves contain iconography of Vaishnavism (Vishnu), Shaktism (Durga and Matrikas) and Shaivism (Shiva).

Udaygiri Caves are 13 km from Sanchi. Rock cut Caves are chiseled out of sandstone, belongs to Gupta period 4-5AD period. There are 1-20 Caves represent Hindu Gods, Buddha etc. ASI has developed ticket window, parking, washrooms opposite Caves in large area. VISHNU avatar VARAH & reclining VISHNU sculptures are beautiful carved. Entry ticket is Rs 25/= per person. Request to tourists & villagers to keep clean our heritage.

If you are near by Sachi and interested in monuments the good place..have ample parking space you can spend 1 - 2 hrs .

Good to see the view from atop. Nothing to see as much for caves. Very few caves and figurines were there but at top the view was good

Good for one day exploration with family and friends. The roads till caves are really good and full of sceneries.

Beautiful carvings and this place has some interesting things made that depict indian puranas and mahabharata

Cool place and you can peacefully utilities your day with family... Better to plan Sanchi along with.

These caves are very close to Sanchi Stupa around 10km,one should visit here while visiting sanchi. Also in close proximity to vidhisha. We visited from bhopal, roads are not great as its one way. There are many caves, with one cave having sleeping vishu's idol around 15 feet long. Small Trek is there for view points above the caves.

Nice view from these caves! Nice experience! A must visit place with family and friends! Amazing historical site in Bhopal!

This pre historic place is mysteriously exciting and makes you wonder about what is beneath those caves. But the place is spread around vast lands and walking around can be quite exacting. Best time to visit should be during milder temperatures and a nice place enjoyed

Beautiful place, go with people who are not in hurry. Watch on the pavements, there are a lot of semiprecious agates. These agates are found only in Madhya Pradesh and Banda district of Uttar Pradesh.

It's a wonderful experience...the remains are preserved well You need an hour time but if u want to click photos and reach to view points need 1.30hr .

Situated on a small hill, these caves feature rock cut caves and statues from the Chandragupta 2 era that is the 5th Century CE. These caves feature statues of Hindu and Jain statues. One Ganesha and one Vishnu rock cut statues which are found here are said to be one of the oldest statues in the world. This cave also features Varaha Dev protecting mother earth from Rakshasa, Chandragupta 2, Brahma Dev, Shiva and many more rock cuts from that era. Start exploring from the left side of the caves after entering from the main gate as all the rock cut caves are present there. From the right side you have to go up the hill through the stairs only to see the view around. I'll recommend you not to go up the hill as it's not worth and you'll get tired.

Wanted to visit Udaygiri and Khandagiri , We love visiting historical places , history fascinates us . Forts , palaces , caves , old temples (for the sake of architecture only ) , old houses intrigues us . Udaygiri caves are fascinating , small room like caves where sages / monks still come to meditate . The floors of the caves are built a bit inclined so they can sleep using the uplifted part as pillow . The tunnels which lead to Dhabalgiri are worth experiencing , it is very interesting how anyone ever passed through those narrow passage . A small square hole on the wall which was used to send messages to the soldiers hidden in some tunnel inside some cave was worth seeing . The king , Raja Kharavela took on Jain religion in his later life thus both carvings from Hindu as well as Jain religion can be seen on the walls of the caves . Both the sages from Hindu as well as Jain religion come to meditate here . If you love history and have not been to , you can visit Udaygiri, you will not regret the visit . ❤️

Good place to visit if you are interested to see some historical place and nature view and if you are lucky you will see peacocks groups as well and if you are there by evenings don’t miss the sunset it was awesome.

Lovely place to visit. Could have been more enchanting if the caves would be open, which have been permanently closed for security reasons.

Very interesting place to know history of our past. Rock cutting statues and caves are very attractive.

Wonderful place. Tells us so much about our history. One visit is must for all.

Awesome

The udaigiri caves is a great place to admire the historical heritage of India . With majestic statues of God adored with the nature's beauty around the area.

Good place to visit only, if you like to know about history and visit historic place, along with good natural scenery. The place has religious value, as it has good sculpture of lord Vishnu carve on rocks.

Nice place but not cleaning properly

Nice place

My daughter has been visited this place.

Great place to visit and spent time in nature. Not very sure but the place seem to have not only has archeological importance but also geological importance plus different natural scenic views in different directions. I like the distinctive flora of the place. We also spotted Keeled Indian Mabuya (lizard) there. It is open and worth visiting throughout the year but I especially love to visit in rainy season or a cloudy day. Though, you can spent hours there depending on you, but, if you're in a hurry you can easily cover the place in 1-2 hrs. There is a ticket of Rs. 25/- and it is free, easy and safe to park the vehicle and new parking construction is almost complete there. There is Jungle resort ran by government there where you can also eat and stay if you like. They provide bicycles if you stay there to ride around in the jungle which is fun and exciting too.

I recommend everyone to go and see the Beauty

Good

Nice place

(Translated by Google) beautiful (Original) सुंदर

Very peaceful place

Nothing so impressive about this place. The two three carvings are everything you would see. The caves are close and locked, you see the caves from the gates. Visiting the place just to see locked doors and not experiencing anything does not add any fun to the visit. Overall not worthy unless you have extra time and you are visiting Sanchi.

Historic Caves on Hindu and Jain Gods . Well maintained and not too much crowd. Visit this place having sufficient times.

This is a must visit place to get a feel of great Indian architecture, tradition and history. Some of the statues are almost 2000 years old and in a very good shape.

There are 20 small and medium size Caves. You cannot go inside Caves but peek inside. Few of them have gods like Lord Ganesh & Shivling. It might take you around an hour minimum if you cover all Caves.

One of India's most important archaeological sites Udayagiri Caves are Rock cut caves and a marvel from our history. They contain some of the oldest surviving Hindu temples and iconography in India. They are the only site that can be verifiably associated with the Gupta Period

Nice maintained caves.

It was excellent also maintenance of the place is appreciably well.

Best Place Hindu Gods and goddesses 🕉️🕉️

Nice treck on on huge rocks. Amazing scenic beauty. The jungle resort is also an amazing place to hang out and the food is also great. Must visit

Only caves and you can enjoy lots of tracking

Art, Cultural, Historical and Amazing place see atleast once if u near to bhopal and visit sanchi stupa....nearly 15km away from sanchi.

It's great place to reconnect yourself with your soul. I Enjoy every Moments

Nice Place, Have a dedicated parking for 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers, a must visit place. Here are almost 24 caves and many scriptures of hindus and Jain's dietes

Beautiful and peaceful place in morning. Rock arts and beautiful few of Betwa river during late monsoon. 4th-5th century AD caves n arts.

Poor facilities not even public utilities available . Its a very bad show especially for foriegners who will take a bad impression of a poor undeveloped India

Awesome place to spend a day with family. Well maintained by forest department with very courteous staff.

Earlier there was no entry fee now in year 2020 they have added fee to that place. And its not that much big place to charge i feel.

I just love the place!

Great caves. However, could be organised better and could've given more information.

A place which we need to include during Bhopal .visit best place for those who r interested in our history.. and orcheology...

Good place to spend time doing treking with family and friends. Ample parking space.

This is kind of very storical place which people should must visit.I would like to say you that if you are planning for ajanta and ellora caves then this is a very similar

Nice

Beautiful place

Best enjoyed in the evening when one can catch the sunset from the hilltop

One time visit place

It is fantastic archeological place to visit in MP.

I only like mountains there and the caves were locked because of Corona Pandemic

Actually....all caves are permanently closed due to security reason, so only to visit mountain under which caves made... So totally waste of time nothing is interested.

nice to vist in jaipur
