Experience fantastic and refreshing wonders nested in the heart of the city.
Located in the Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh, ITARSI is literally at the heart of India—it lies almost in the middle of the country. The name of the town was derived from the industries it was known for—bricks or inth, and rope or rassi. Today, however, these industries have been replaced by plywood. ITARSI is also known for its agricultural produce, flourishing handloom, arts and crafts industry and its railway junction, which is one of the country’s busiest.
ITARSI has been blessed with the bounty of nature in the form of wildlife, greenery and flowing rivers. Treks, wildlife tours and picnics on the dam are popular ways to spend time, preferred both by the locals as well as tourists. Religious places also dot the town, luring devotees from all over the country to its very heart. A visit to ITARSI promises to open your eyes to all things truly and completely Indian.
Tawa Dam is one of the most notable tourist spots in ITARSI. The dam is located on the Tawa Reservoir, which is used largely for irrigation in the region. It took 20 years to build and today, is a popular picnic spot even for the locals. A visit to this picturesque dam when in ITARSI is a must. The Bori Wildlife Sanctuary is not just a major tourist attraction around ITARSI, but an important location for bio-diversity in the country as well. The sanctuary is home to myriad species of flora and fauna, including the tiger, leopard and Munjtac deer. The Bori Wildlife Sanctuary is undoubtedly a must-visit.
Religious places of worship are also scattered all over ITARSI and its surrounding region. Amongst these, the Boodhi Mata Mandir attracts the highest number of pilgrims every year. Hanuman Dham too is a temple thronged by devotees through the year. There are also a number of Christian and Islamic places of worship around ITARSI that are worth visiting.
