The Bhimbetka caves they are a wonder considered World Heritage by UNESCO and they're in the Indian city of Bhopal. On its walls you can see paintings that show the thousands of years of history that have passed since they were formed and all the civilizations that passed through there. They are one of the great attractions of the entire country thanks to the environmental conditions in the area that have allowed the paintings to be perfectly preserved.
These caves were discovered in the year 1958 and the importance of this area was immediately recognized, as it dramatically shows Indian history. They are a group of some 600 prehistoric caves, making it not only the most important in India but also in the whole world. A must visit place for any tourist since with it you will discover an exciting world.
They are so extensive that the routes there take you only for a few, the most important ones. There are some must-see, such as the lion cave (huge and with paintings of lions but also of turtles. They fit about 100 people) or the Zoo Rock (It is a rock that is surrounded by paintings of a wide variety of animals). In many of the caves you can see paintings of the first gods. If you don't have much time, you should see these two first and then what you can.
There are also caves with paintings dating from the medieval times, which are already much more geometric and pay less attention to aesthetic details. Without a doubt visiting this entire area is an excellent opportunity to discover how they lived millions of years ago and how history has evolved since that time. A walk through the history not only of the Asian country but of all humanity.
