- Kavadia Hills (The Columnar Basalt): This is a rare geological site about 10km from Dewas. Ensure your tour operator provides a vehicle with high ground clearance, as the approach road can be rugged.
- Best Time to Visit: Aim for the Navratri Festival if you want to see the city at its most vibrant, though it will be very crowded. For nature walks, the monsoon (July-September) is ideal.
