“The Hidden Place” as some say the name means, Orchha is indeed a jewel in the tourist map of Madhya Pradesh. Dotted with ancient forts, palaces, cenotaphs (Chattris) & temples it reveals its true beauty in the midst of the natural bounty of the forest and the river ‘Betwa’ on the banks of which it lies idyllic, frozen in time.
The many fascinating stories, associated with local architectural marvels that make up the folklore of Orchha, has finally made the town a focus of international attention and has been selected under the “Historic Urban Landscape Project” by UNESCO.
Orchha has the advantage of being well connected to other places of interest in the vicinity. Some of these include Jhansi, Tikamgarh, Chanderi & Khajuraho amongst many others.
