AHILYA, MAHESHWAR
Overview
The unparalleled Ahilya Fort is possibly one of the most romantic spots. An impressive fortress perched high above the sacred River Narmada, Ahilya is an enchanting, comforting and beautiful place to stay. Arriving in the sleepy riverside town of Maheshwar, slowly winding through the town and up the hill to the fort, there is an intrinsic sense of spirituality and an insight into untouched rural life.
From the garden and terrace the views are spectacular at any time of day; sunrise to the east casts a calm mistiness across the river, sunset in the west sets the fortress and the ghats below ablaze in a bright copper light, and all the while chanting floats up from the neighbouring Hindu temple, which just celebrated its 200th birthday.
The Happyness Company, in collaboration with Encompass, brings you this spectacular experience.
We can’t wait to take you on this journey!
