The drive from Burhanpur to Maheshwar was about 150 kms, and at 30-40 km/hr it took over 4 hours. The scenery was well worth it! Growing in the fields was cotton, bananas, green gram, millet, corn, some kind of lentils, and sugar cane; and along side the road large trees -- neem, banyan, teak, tamarind, and more.
We also passed many bullock carts, many belonging to gypsy migrant workers. There were also hundreds of flocks of sheep & goats evidently brought to this area from near Rajasthan to graze on the highlands during the monsoons.
