Brief intro to Ujjain as a spiritual and cultural hub

Ujjain is located on the banks of the sacred Shipra (Kshipra) River, and is a mixture of spirituality, history, and real life. There are many temples, peaceful ghats, open gardens and picturesque locations that make good picnic places besides the well-known temples. Most of them are free, serene, and accessible and are ideal for a relaxed visit.

Ram Ghat

Ram Ghat, a famous Ujjain picnic spot, is situated on the coast of the Shipra River. It is a good place to sit and relax, watch the wind and see daily rituals taking place. Early evenings and early mornings are particularly nice, and it is a beautiful place to have a simple picnic with tea, snacks and good talks.

Vikram Vatika

Vikram Vatika is an ideal place to stay in case you want greenery and open space. It is a serene area of the garden that is not crowded with people and traffic. The location is appropriate for families, people who take morning walks, or those who just want to rest under trees and enjoy fresh air.

Sandipani Ashram

Sandipani Ashram is spiritual and serene, which is the home of Lord Krishna. The environment is serene and not crowded, thus a good picnic site among those who like quiet and meaningful spots. It is best suited to a slow sightseeing visit and not a rushy one.

Riverside Area of the Kal Bhairav Temple 

Although the individual Kal Bhairav Temple is already known due to its unusual rituals, the surrounding area of the river seems to be remarkably serene. A lot of visitors sit along the river, after temple visit, and therefore it is a peaceful picnic-like sight with a spiritual atmosphere and open space.

Kshipra River Bank at Triveni Ghat

Another great place to take a leisure outing is the Triveni Ghat locality along the Kshipra River. Not as busy as certain principal ghats, it is the perfect place to sit back and reflect, take photographs or have a quick picnic by the river. The sunset in this place is particularly beautiful.

The surroundings of Mangalnath Temple, which is believed to be the birthplace of Mars, are pretty peaceful and tranquil. It is an awesome place to sit and appreciate the nature around, and have a picnic with a spiritual visit.
