This beautiful island is located on
backwaters of pious river Narmada, at a distance of around 150 km from Indore and 45 km from Khandwa, and can be reached
easily via road (prefer going through your own vehicle) !! It has been developed by Madhya Pradesh Tourism
Development Corporation (MPTDC) !!
Hanuwantiya is located by the bank of Indira Sagar dam's lake - ASIA’S SECOND LARGEST RESERVOIR !! The place already had abundant natural beauty, but MPTDC developed it further to offer a wide array of water sports during the "
Jal Mahotsav" (or, simply put, Water Festival) !!
Jal Mahotsav is India’s only and largest water carnival, and is held every year !! This grand event is a paradise for adventure seekers, art enthusiasts, foodies and tired-of-the-urban-chaos people !!
This place is designed in such a way that it
stands ideal for people of all age groups !! Cottages and wooden row houses for a
comfortable stay, with a beautiful garden to relax, coupled with a scenic
view of Maa Narmada (River Narmada) !! During the
Jal Mahotsav, Hanuwantiya also gets a tent city - modern, luxurious tents for accommodation !!
And finally, for the adventurous ones, there's a lot on offer: enjoy the jet skis, boat cruises (Jalpari), and speed-boat rides, all year round (weather-permitting) !! And during the
Jal Mahotsav, various more adventurous activities are lined up here !! Besides the jet skis rides and cruises, another special feature here is the majestic
House-Boats !! Yes, you read it right - its not just Jammu & Kashmir that has house-boats in Srinagar....our Madhya Pradesh also has house-boats in Hanuwantiya !! The 2 houseboats have 3 rooms each for accommodation, upper deck for dining and partying, and a pantry !! Experience the thrill of fresh water cruising and the romance of the backwater houseboats !! This is totally rocking !!
Nearby, you may also like to explore the Boriyamal Island where you get a chance to explore a jungle surrounded by water on three sides !! And then there are adjoining villages where you get to see the rural life !! A walk or cycling around is ideal to see the rural life unfolding itself in its daily routine !!
