Day visit from indore to Ujjain - What a awsome day. We were blown away by our guide Anurag who showed us the ancient version of GMT. Ujjain was sensational as we learnt about how the prime meridian passes ujjajn for hundreds of years till the British relocated it to Greenich. The car picked us from our hotel in Indore . The driver was friendly and drove safely. Very highly recommended.

Ancient time line at Ujjain - Ujjain was a memorable tour. I never knew there was a precursor to GMT! It was fascinating to learn about the temple being dedicated to the timeline. Our guide helped us appreciate the interweaving of science and religion in ancient India. It was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend it.
