    Was once the capital of Bhopal Riyasat, gardens here are well maintained, but rest of the monuments aren't. The Ticket prices are affordable, but MP Tourism isn't able to capitalise, on this royal heritage of MP.

    The place is great with an amazing view. Trees all around and well maintained. Just the facilities are less.. you can take food and games along with you and have a picnic time with your family!

    A monument under state archeology a that lies in the ruins of shambles and neglect. The place could have been in a much better state if the archeology department had spent some resources on the management and restoration of the place. But just like the other monuments of the Begam era of Bhopal, this also has no similar story. I have seen plenty of other monuments in the state of MP but the monuments in or around Bhopal are almost at the brink of collapsing. It's sad to see heritage turning into a ruin.

    Islamnagar Fort is a good picnic place for families. I went there with my family and few family friends and we had a good outing and catching up. The fort is a historical location no doubt but do not visit with high hopes and expectations. It's a small fort and if you are going just to visit, it won't take more than half an hour. If you are going with family, bring along badmintons or music systems so that you can have some fun. Also, the place is a bit crowded on Sundays and public holidays. If you are visiting on such days, get there early around 12 or 12 30 so you can score a good place for yourself. And yes, the fort has some really great gardens.

    Originally known as Jagadishpur, the place was founded by the local Rajput chieftains.[3] In the early 18th century, the place was captured and renamed to Islamnagar ("city of Islam") by Dost Mohammad Khan, the founder of the Bhopal princely state. Islamnagar was the original capital of the Dost Mohammad Khan's state. In 1723, Dost Mohammad Khan had to surrender the Islamnagar fort to Nizam-ul-Mulk after a brief siege.[4] Khan was reduced to the position of a kiledar (fort commander) under the Nizam after a peace treaty. In year 1727 he shifted his capital to Bhopal. The Scindias controlled the Islamnagar fort from 1806 to 1817, when it was restored to Bhopal following a treaty.[5] Several members of the royal family of Bhopal, including Shah Jahan Begum, were born in Islamnagar. Chaman Mahal ("Garden Palace") is a red sandstone structure built by Dost Mohammad Khan. It is also known as Islamnagr fort. It is surrounded by gardens and fountains, and is ornamented with floral motifs. It has charbagh style garden. The architecture is a synthesis of the Malwa-Mughal architecture, with Bengali-influenced drooping eaves. The ruined palace has a Mughal water garden and a hamam (Turkish bath).[3] Rani Mahal Edit A part of the Rani Mahal. Rani Mahal ("Queen Palace") is a double-storey zenana complex (female residence). It has a colonnaded Diwan-e-Aam.[3] It was residence for queens of Dost Mohammad Khan.

    It is not a place where everyone can go and refresh their mind as of now. Refurbishment is going on let's see it results in +ve or -ve. But for locals it's a great place to go and have a picnic and enjoy.

    Historic place of Bhopal Though I have visited it many a times, I still can feel the same charm of the times when it was ruled by the Kings and queens of Bhopal. A great place to visit and one would enjoy the view and ambience of the palace if visited.
