Bissau lies only 10 km away from Mahansar, and is dominated by the Keshargarh Fort, which was built in 1755. Now the fort is the residence of a family, and looks like it is in a state of ruin. Bissau has a large collection of havelis known for their frescos depicting mythological and historical themes.
The chief important sights and havelis of Bissau are Gopiram Tibrewala Haveli, two Sigatiya Havelis (close to each other), Sarkari Chhatris (Chhatri means cenotaph), Jaynarayan Tibrewala Haveli, Didwania Haveli, Poddar Haveli, and Bhagirath Das Kedia Haveli. Remember that most of these havelis in Bissau are locked up and empty; to get them opened you will need to ask the locals, and find the caretaker who may open it for a small fee (around 20-50 rupees). Bissau is known for its unique Dussehra celebrations, silent Ramlila performances take place every evening keeping in line with a 19th Century tradition.
There are very few options to stay in Bissau for tourists, but it is better to stay in Mahansar.
