A sanctuary on a small hill on the city's outskirts, home to deer and birds. A hunting lodge built by the Holkar rulers at the summit overlooks the whole city of Indore.

The park has a deer enclosure and walking trails. At the summit stands a hunting lodge built by the Holkar ruler in 1905, which offers views over the city. The views are best during the monsoon and at sunset. Entry is inexpensive. Visitors can walk up or take a park vehicle. It may be closed on Mondays, and it is about 12 km from the city center.
