Itinerary advice - Omkareshwar, Maheshwar, Mandu

ganeshs_16

I know there are loads of threads on these places. I did go through most of them and have a fair idea about the places and distances. I needed some specific advice, hence starting a new thread.

I intend to visit Omkareshwar, Maheshwar and Mandu in November. I have a pretty packed schedule, which in hind sight i think i should have added more buffer to.

I'm arriving in Khandwa on saturday morning at 7 AM and have a return train to catch from Khandwa on sunday night at 9.

I had 2 plans in mind -
1.Go to Omkareshwar for a dip, Come to Maheshwar, start by late afternoon and reach Mandu for lodging in the night, visit mandu the next day and return to Khandwa
2. Go straight to Mandu from Khandwa. See the place and spend a night. Start in th morning and reach Maheshwar, and then go to Omkareshwar and come to Khandwa.

My questions -
1. Do these sound feasible? Which one is more advisable?
2. Maheshwra and Mandu seem quite close on map. Are they connected by bus? Can i bank on this route?

TIA

We went from Khandwa to Mandu with a hired car. En route we visited Omkareshwar and Maheshwar. It was a journey of about six hours.
Since we hired the car also for a day trip around Khandwa I don't know the price for the ride. For the two days it was 3300 rs.

Thanks for the info Vonkla. Any idea on the time you took from Maheshwar to Mandu? And will i find taxis in Maheshwar to take me?

Maheshwar to Mandu was something of an hour. I don't know anything about taxis in Maheshwar.
