Morning after breakfast at 09:00 AM drive to Mandu, Arrival Mandu, start with Delhi Darwaza, than the Jahaz Mahal which looks like a ship that’s about to sail. However, for centuries this ship made of stone and mortar never did. Instead, it stood floating over the twin lakes, bearing a silent witness to Mandu's long, rich and varied history.

The city of Mandu is adorned with spell-binding Afghan architecture surrounded by baobab trees, native to Africa.  Visit Hoshang Shah’s Tomb, Jami Masjid and Rupmati’s Pavilion. Transfer to Hotel and Night stay.

Madagascar to Mandu: “Mysterious Mandu: the land of Afghan architecture and baobab trees”“The city of Mandu is adorned with spell-binding Afghan architecture surrounded by baobab trees, native to Africa.  Baobabs are often called the Tree of Life. Native to Madagascar, some parts of mainland, sub-Saharan Africa and Australia, the baobab is known for not just its towering height (up to 98 ft), but also girth (up to 36 ft) and life span (3,000 years). The rather succulent trunk is said to hold as much as 100,000 litres of water — perfect to soak up Mandu’s generous monsoon bounty — while its flowers bloom only at night. Their otherwise mild fragrance intensifies when it mingles with the aroma of wet earth.

When cracked open, Mandu ki imli — the elongated baobab fruit — is a cluster of white pulp-coated seeds that resemble giant custard apple segments. The powdered seeds and the dried pulp are mixed with chilled water to make a tangy, vitamin C-rich drink that I relish at a hawker stall after a sweltering trek up Baz Bahadur’s palace.
