We reached Bhopal by 9 AM and straightaway checked into Jehan Numa Palace Hotel which is situated on Shyamala Hills in Bhopal. We had to make a visit to Mandideep and were scheduled to leave the same evening for Mumbai.
I was actually feeling sorry that I would not be able to stay back and enjoy the lovely ambience of the hotel. As luck would have it, we were forced to defer our departure by a day and so I had the opportunity to explore this lovely place.
Jehan Numa Palace was built in 1890 by Gen. Obaidullah Khan,Commander-in -Chief of the Bhopal State Army and second son of Nawab Sultan Jehan Begum.The General died in 1924 and then the palace went through many occupancies before it was reclaimed and renovated by the grandsons of Gen.Obaidullah Khan in Sep 1983.
The hotel has many photographs of the late 1800s vintage as well as early 1900s and displays them proudly along with a display of weapons belonging to Gen Obaidullah Khan.
The structure is typically colonial with wide verandahs, cane chairs, trellissed doors etc etc.
The staff are extremely hospitable and rush to meet the whim of each guest.There is a general laidback atmosphere and one can put one's feet up and while away the day.
Definitely recommended for those wanting to de-stress and re-discover the meaning of life.
