    Advert.
    Hi friends,

    Me and my friends is planning a short visit to Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh, we are actually a friend of Group and looking for some adventure and camping. Shivpuri is place which is not visited by many of us so we opted for it. Since none of us has visited it , we are now looking for places which can be visited over there. I know there is some bird sancutary, a wild life park and some palaces but please suggest what we can see properly in one day and becomes a memorable experience.

    Thank you guys.
