Just 110kms form the city of Gwalior is Shivpuri, the royal summer retreat of the past. Its dense forests and luxuriant hills made it a perfect summer capital and the vegetation full of variety of species of fauna made it a perfect hunting ground as well. Today Shivpuri has been transformed into a protected forest area and a sanctuary for rare wild life. The pink summer palace built by the Scindia called as the Madhav Vilas Palace is an excellent example of the colonial impression on architecture in the late 19th century. This beautiful palace offers a spectacular view of its surrounding forests and nature. The Madhav National Park is a terrain of wooded hills and dry forests, mixed and deciduous with flat grasslands around the lake. This gives an ample opportunity to sight the wild life such as the various species of Deer, Sloth bear, Nilgai and sometimes also the Leopard.
