Nalkheda is a humble Tehsil in the Agar-Malwa district. It is not Dubai. It is not even Indore.
Do not expect 5-Star Hiltons here. However, hygienic AC rooms ARE available if you know where to look.
Warning: During Navratri and Amavasya, 100% of rooms are booked weeks in advance.

Check Availability4. Where to Eat? (The Satvik Rule)
Nalkheda is famous for its spicy "Malwa Food" (Poha, Kachori). But be careful.
If you are on a "Sankalp" (Vow), clearly say "Bina Lahsun Pyaaz" before ordering.
Best Breakfast:
Sharma Ji Ki Kachori (Near Bus Stand). Famous for Poha-Jalebi. Safe hygiene.
Best Lunch/Dinner:
Sudarshan Bhojanalaya (Temple Road). Pure Veg Thali. Very homely taste.
