Hanuwantiya

Hanuwantiya is a water sports destination situated on an island within Indira Sagar Lake, featuring lodging options and facilities dedicated to recreational water activities. The island has dedicated zones for seasonal use and provides access to a range of equipment and amenities for visitors pursuing water-based recreation.

Development of the site as a tourist center began following the creation of Indira Sagar Lake, formed by damming the Narmada River to create one of Asia's largest reservoirs. This project enabled the transformation of the island into an organized water sports facility with infrastructure and managed services.

The site functions as a hub for water-based leisure, where visitors encounter the local practice of celebrating monsoon and winter seasons through organized water events and sports competitions. People gather here to participate in activities that reflect the region's connection to the Narmada River and its reservoir.

The site is accessible via Devi Ahilyabai Airport in Indore or Khandwa Junction railway station, both offering different travel times depending on preferred transportation. Plan your visit during the cooler months when water conditions are suitable for activities and most facilities operate at full capacity.

Guests have the option to stay in floating cottages and houseboats anchored directly on the water, offering an unconventional lodging experience rarely found in the region. This arrangement allows visitors to sleep surrounded by water while remaining in comfortable, equipped accommodations.
