NARWAR :
Narwar 128 km from Gwalior and 56 km from Shivpuri. is the traditional capital of Raja Nala. The place is mentioned as Nalpura (Nala's town) in a number of medieval sanskrit inscriptions. The Narwar Fort is 500 feet above the surrounding country. Though it is now in a dilapidated condition, yet judging from the remains it seems likely that in the flourishing days it might have been second to the Gwalior Fort in magnificence. The architecture of the remains is Rajput in style with flat ceilings, fluted columns and arches. Near the fort are the Jai Stambha, Sati monument, Ladu ungalow, Chhip Mahal, Makardwaj Tal, Kacheri mahal, Sikandar Lodi's Mosque, Jail Kambha.

There are several white Jain temples scattered around Sonagiri.

Pawaya
Earlier known as Padmavati, the history of this small hamlet on Gwalior-Jhansi road, 68 km from Gwalior , dates back to 3rd century AD when it was the capital of Nag Dynasty. Archaeological excavations have revealed ruins that tell the story of its rich past. The main attractions of Pawaya are the life-size statue of King Chaksha Manibhadra and the ruined fort of the Parmar Dynasty.

Dhoomeshwar Mahadeo Temple
Barely 3 km from Pawaya, the Dhoomeshwar Mahadeo Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and located on the banks of the Sindh River . The architectural style of this temple is very much similar to the Kandariya Mahadeo Temple of Khajuraho, though there is no evidence to prove that both temples belong to the same period.
