Just before the lockdown started in March I completed a dream trip through Bundelkhand. This historical region borders the present states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh in India.
Bundelkhand is famous as a land full of fairy-tales from the past.
As you travel through this vast expanse in the Indian heartland, at every mile you can hear interesting stories of the kings and queens of the region from the medieval period that are full of drama, passion, love, valor, treachery, and bravery.
The Bundelkhand region has a rich legacy and a colorful history.
