Welcome to Pranpur
The Pranpur Village Tourism Committee welcomes you !!
Amraee Guest HouseSet in a 5 acre mango orchard, Amraee derives its name from 'Aam' (mangoes) and 'Raee' (a Bundelkhandi folk dance). Built in traditional Bundelkhandi style architecture, all the four rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. They all have western style bathrooms attached.
Neat and clean rooms at Amraee. Each room has a character of its own.

ChanderiChanderi and the sari are synonymous till you get there. Then you discover history in a way no book ever taught you. The Koshak Mahal, a fort restored lovingly, the Raja Rani Mahal, the Badal Mahal soaring up to the sky, the Jama Masjid reverberating with spirituality, the Khooni Darwaza, Baiju Bawra’s Samadhi... the list is endless !

Go Shopping How does one visit Pranpur and not buy the famous Chanderi silk. Saris, stoles or other dress material - this place has it all. Buy directly from the weavers' homes, or from the co-operative in Chanderi. And you get all this at a fraction of the city prices !!
Living with NatureSurrounded by the Vindhyanchal mountain range, Pranpur offers diverse landscapes. And they keep on changing with each season. Also, it is an excellent place for birdwatching.
