First advise is - please don't plan Maheshwar and Mandu on a single day. While you may visit Maheshwar in half day, the same is not true for Mandu.
Visit Maheshwar and explore its history with the help of a proper guide. It has an old palace and ghats on river Narmada. The place is clean and beautiful. The town is famous for its maheshwari sarees woven by local craftsmen. Shopping should be done from government recognised showrooms. One can stay overnight at MPTDC resort located on the banks of Narmada for which online booking is available. Day 2 should be for Mandu as a full day is a must to explore various monuments there. Also one must watch light & sound show at Hindola Mahal in Mandu which starts at 7pm & ends at 7.30pm (30 min). The first show is in Hindi and next in English. There are many good hotels and resorts in Mandu but the best is MPTDC and online booking is a must. Here the food is awesome. Also having a guide will be most important to know the history of the places and also the town. Jain can also visit famous very old jain temple close to the bus stand. The best time to visit these two places is after mansoon. Avoid summer time.
