The landscape is simply amazing there, high up on a hill. Unfortunately when I was there , it was monsoon time, cold, raining all the time. <br />I stayed there a few days locked up in the fog. So, no landscape views, and this is too bad.. <br />The town is a perfect exemple of Afghan architecture in India.. You can find something in Mandu you won't see anywhere else in India, huge baobabs, old ones..
