We decided to have a lazy drive during Christmas of 2017. We had not planned on visiting too many places. The plan was to relax. We heard that Jal Mahotsav is going on in Hanuwantiya Tapu near Omkareshwar and it sounded like an interesting place to visit, so we decided to add that to our itinerary as well.
