Half Day tour of Orchha with Guide Visit
 

Accompanied by a guide you will visit Orchha once the capital of Bundelas. Today Orchha is just a village, set amongst a complex of well preserved palaces and temples. Orchha’s golden age was during the first half of the 17th century when Jehangir visited the city in 1606. A special palace, the Jehangir Mahal, was specially built for him.

Start your tour by visiting the fort which is reached by means of an arched bridge. Inside are three palaces set in an open courtyard which are the first buildings to explore here. The tiered Jehangir Mahal was built to commemorate the visit of Emperor Jehangir. The Raj Mahal, to the right of the courtyard, was built by Madhukar Shah and has bold colorful murals inside. The Rai Praveen Mahal is a two storey brick structure set in the gardens of Anand Mahal.

There are also some interesting temples that you will visit located inside the fort. The Ram Raja Mandir was originally a palace and later became a temple. Your guide may explain the reason for this. You may visit the Lakshminarayan temple also within the Fort which has some of the best preserved murals and wall paintings in Orchha.
