What people say, in short
Bhimbetka is repeatedly recommended for its rock shelters and prehistoric paintings. Two accounts describe a spiritually meaningful visit, while a different visitor says exploring the painted shelters made the trip worthwhile. A returning visitor recommends a guide for the stories behind the art. Other suggestions include it in a day out from Bhopal, sometimes alongside Bhojpur, but most give little practical detail.
