Things to Do Within Jehan Numa Retreat
Jehan Numa offers a range of exciting experiences and activities to go about while you unwind during your weekend getaway from Indore. You can choose to walk amidst the vast swathes of wheat plantations, or within our in-house organic garden. Get an exclusive tour of the property and a guide to explain the names of the herbs and the methods involved in growing them. You can also pick the vegetables and fruits of your choice and have it cooked.
Kids can be a handful during a vacation. We not only like to keep them entertained but also facilitate some learning. During the evenings, post 7 pm, we play a wildlife documentary at our private dining space, which has a projector and a canvas screen installed. Kids can lounge on the bean bags, have some tasty munchables, and watch the marvels of nature.
Yoga sessions are conducted seasonally, during October-March in the mornings. Rise early, attend the yoga session that either happens near the machan or by the swimming pool. Our yoga specialist will guide you to a calming yoga session, while the morning mist still hasn’t faded away. The session is free of cost and goes on for about an hour every morning. Register today to book a slot.
Cycle/ Walk Through Van Vihar
We can arrange for a sturdy, well-maintained cycle from our resort, free of cost. You can also choose to go as an individual or can also opt for a guide. Start early around 7 AM and enjoy some hearty snacks and hot beverages near Bhopal Lake. Van Vihar Urban National Park has a 4.5 km diameter and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. You get to see tigers, leopards, sloth bears, and blackbucks among other animals. Then cycle back to the Retreat and enjoy a refreshing morning.
Boating
Bhopal is called the city of lakes and rightly called so. Bhopal Lake is one of the many tourist attractions that draw in a lot of visitors. Bhopal Boat Club offers kayaking and windsurfing as experiences to try at the lake. The giant lake has an island in the middle, which is home to a Sufi shrine as well.
Bhojpur Temple
This famous temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is just 45 mins from the hotel. It is famous for housing one of the biggest shivlings inside, despite being incomplete in terms of its design.
Sanchi
Sanchi is a Buddhist temple, just an hour away by car, that houses the great Stupas (one of the oldest known structures) that was commissioned by Emperor Ashoka himself. At 7 pm every evening, there is a live show event here that shows the history of these stupas.
Bhimbetka
Bhimbetka is an archaeological site of rock shelters about 1½ hours away from the hotel. This 12000-year-old structure exhibits the earliest traces of humans from the stone ages.
