Jal Mahotsav
The Jal Mahotsav is a water carnival event that started way back in 2016. The event received immense appreciation and was liked by most tourists, making it highly popular and in-demand among tourists, and since then it has been held every year.
However, due to the surge in COVID cases, the event was paused, but it got back into motion in 2020 following strict adherence to COVID protocols.
An abundance of activities are organized in the event involving aerial and water activities, making it a hugely successful event in the country.
Besides, kite flying, water spots, volleyball, and various other activities are a huge hit.
Since it’s also been called the “mini Goa of MP,” you will find cruises and motorboats. The tourist corporation of Madhya Pradesh organizes a motor boat club and a water sports club.
Evidently, the corporation spends more than INR 8 crore on organizing it on a massive scale while making it a super fun and adventurous hub.
Indulgent Activities
