About MPT

Madhya Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation was incorporated in 1975 by the Government of Madhya Pradesh as the commercial arm of the state's tourism department. What began as roadside rest houses has grown into 38 owned resorts — sea-facing cottages at Hanuwantiya and Maheshwar, colonial rooms in Pachmarhi, monsoon retreats at Patalkot and Tawa, heritage stays at Khajuraho and Orchha, jungle lodges at Bandhavgarh, Pench and Panna, and pilgrim accommodation at Ujjain.

Every MPT resort is staffed by locals, sourced from nearby farmers and fishermen, and serves regional Madhya Pradesh cuisine — Malwa fish thali on the coast, Varhadi and Saoji inland. Direct bookings on this site always receive the government tariff, with no channel mark-ups.
