George Castle At the highest elevation in Madhav National Park, , is the George Castle (Bankhade Kothi). In 1911, the local Scindia ruler Madho Rao Scindia built the castle in his hunting park for an overnight stay by King George V of the United Kingdom. George V had intended to go tiger shooting there during his visit to India. However, the king shot a tiger before getting there, and did not stop at George Castle afterall. Although in some disrepair, it is a "turreted English-style castle, with Belgian glass windows and Italian tile flooring."
