Guest Access
From Agra/Delhi/Gwalior/Bhopal/and many other cities: Take a train to Jhansi station, and then you have two options. The easier but more expensive option is you can hire a car or auto-rickshaw to Orchha which is 19KM away. By auto-rickshaw, it takes about
40 minutes; by car, 20 minutes. The listed price at the pre-paid taxi stand
was 200 rupees, however, you'll have to negotiate the price with the driver
that you take. A cheaper way is to pile into one of the auto-rickshaws
outside the train station which serve as a bus shuttle-- see if it's going
to the bus station, which should only cost 10 rupees this way. From the bus station there are other shuttle auto-rickshaws that head to Orchha for
20 rupees per person, though you might have to wait a few minutes till it leaves; they only go when full.
You can reach Orchha while returning to Jhansi from Khajuraho, as a detour.
While coming to Jhansi from Khajuraho, when you reach on the outskirts of
Jhansi city, take left on the Orchha Tigaila(triangle). That road will lead
to Orchha. There is a small railway station at Orchha in which only very few trains stop. Jhansi - Khajuraho Passenger(229A) has stoppage at Orchha.
Khajuraho - Jhansi passenger (230A) reaches Orchha by 4:45Pm. Orchha railway station is 5Kms away from Orchha town and is about an hours brisk wait. Go North and out
of town and continue straight until you cross the train track and its right on theleft. Hire a rickshaw and pay Rs. 50 max to get to Orchha train station.

Getting Around
Fort Complex: The fort complex is a great place to visit; hit this first to obtain an all-day ticket good for all the sights in Orchha. Divided into 3 parts, it consists of :-
Raj Mahal: Situated to the right of the quadrangle, this palace was built
in the 17th century by Madhukar Shah, the deeply religious predecessor of
Bir Singh Ju Deo. The plain exteriors, crowned by chhatris, give way to
interiors with exquisite murals, boldly colourful on a variety of religious
themes. Get a good guide inside here to take you all over the complex, including locked rooms, for a tip.
Jehangir Mahal: Built by Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo in the 17th century to commemorate the visit of Emperor Jehangir to Orchha. Its strong lines are counterbalanced by delicate chhatris and trellis work, the whole conveying an effect of extraordinary richness.
Rai Parveen Mahal: Poetess and musician, Rai Parveen was the beautiful paramour of Raja Indramani (1672- 76) and was sent to Delhi on the orders of the Emperor Akbar, who was captivated by her. She so impressed the Great Mughal with the purity of her love for Indramani that he sent her back to Orchha.
Ram Raja temple (closed during the afternoon): This is the center around which the life of Orchha revolves. The presiding Deity here is Lord Ram. The idols were meant to be installed in the magnificent Chaturbhuj temple, but when the idols,once kept on the ground(where they are today), refused to move. So a makeshift temple was built around it and is known as Ram Raja temple. It has an excellent courtyard, tiled with marble and the temple in pink,yellow and orange colors, gives a bright look. No cameras or bags allowed inside.
Chaturbhuj Temple: Built upon a massive stone platform and reached by a steep flight of steps, the temple was specially constructed to enshrine the image of Rama that remained in the Ram Raja Temple. Lotus emblems and other symbols of religious significance provide the delicate exterior ornamentation. Within, the sanctum is chastely plain with high, vaulted walls emphasizing its deep sanctity. Find the hidden stairs to the roof for a view of the entire area.
The young keyholder will unlock the door to the hidden stairs and take you up for some money and show you around which he supposed to do for free.
Laxminarayan Temple: A flagstone path links this temple with the Ram Raja Temple. The style is an interesting synthesis of fort and temple moulds. The interiors contain the most exquisite of Orchha's wall paintings. Covering the walls and ceiling of three halls, these murals are vibrant compositions and cover a variety of spiritual and secular subjects. They are in excellent state of preservation, with the colours retaining their vivid quality.You can climb up to the roof for views of temple
Phool Bagh: Laid out as a formal garden, this complex testifies to the refined aesthetic qualities of the Bundelas. A central row of fountains culminates in an eight pillared palace-pavilion. A subterranean structure below was the coolsummer retreat of the Orchha kings. An ingenious system of water ventilation connects the underground palace with Chandan Katora, a bowl-like structure from whose fountains droplets of water filtered through to the roof, simulating rainfall.
Sunder Mahal: This small palace, almost in ruins today is still a place of pilgrimagefor Muslims. Dhurjban, son of Jhujhar, embraced Islam when he wed a Muslim girlat Delhi. He spent the latter part of his life in prayer and meditation and came to be revered as a saint.
Cenotaphs: There are 14 Chhatris or Memorials to the rulers of Orchha, grouped along the Kanchan Ghat of the river Betwa on the south end of town.
