The sunset at the Dhupgarh was not visible clearly due to haze on that day, you should be lucky to have clear weather to see the beautiful sunset at the Dhupgarh.

After having lunch we covered the next 40 Kms till Bhopal in about 1.30 Hrs because the road after the Obaidullaganj to Bhopal was in bad shape due to road widening work going on.
We booked our Hotel La Pearl from FabHotels site for only Rs 900 which is a steal deal as the Hotel was really nice for this price.
