Bhimbetka is located at a distance of 46 km. to the south of Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh. Bordered by the northern fringe of the Vindhyan ranges, Bhimbetka is a rocky terrain of dense forest and craggy cliffs. Apart from the mystic beauty of nature, what brings Bhimbetka on the tourist map is the discovery of over 600 rock shelters belonging to the Neolithic age. Here, paintings in over 500 caves depict in vivid panoramic detail the life of the pre-historic man. An archaeological treasure, this region has been declared a World Heritage Site.
