Thanks Jignesh. There are many options for accommodation, from hotels to private accommodation. However, I wouldn't suggest private accommodation if you have females travelling with you. Try booking MP tourism hotels. You can find the tariffs here - http://www.mptourism.com/inner-page/destination/mandu.html Note - The best time to visit Mandu is during Rains and Winters (July-Feb). Book the hotels in advance if you are planning a weekend trip.
