Detailed itinerary
1
Get picked up from your chosen location in Khajuraho and begin your journey to the Orchha Fort Complex.

Your first stop will be at Jehangir Mahal, which was built by Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo in the 17th Century. Admire its strong lines counterbalanced by delicate chhatris and trellis work.
3
Visit the Raja Mahal, built by Madhukar Shah, the deeply religious predecessor of Bir Singh Ju Deo. Be amazed as the plain exteriors, crowned by chhatris, give way to interiors with boldly colorful murals featuring a variety of religious themes

Afterward, Go to the Rai Praveen Mahal, built for the poet and musician Rai Praveen. Walk into this structure, surrounded by the beautiful landscaped gardens of Anand Mahal. See its skillfully carved niches, which allow light into the building.

Your next visit will be to Ram Raja Temple. Find out about the charming legend attached to this palace-turned-temple as you discover its soaring spires and palatial architecture.
