Best place to chill in premium budget friendly resorts. Raja ram mandir , orcha fort beautiful places to visit. Datiya is also nearby you can explore pitambra Mata mandir, jhansi fort.

A beautiful fort worth visiting which shows the glorious past of the mighty Bundela kingdom. Beautiful architecture reminiscent of the glorious era of the Bundelas, the paintings are still visible in some parts especially of Raja Ram, Lord Krishna etc. Worth viewing the sheesh Mahal, diwane aam, diwane khaas, the bathing and sanitation areas. A guide is a absolute must and is recommended. Visited the sound and light show too which was okay.

The entire fort complex is stunning with breathtaking views. Not much to view from within but the ticket prices aren't much so might as well. Would suggest watching Sound & Light show before exploring the complex (show happens at night though!). Lot of walking and climbing steps up and down would be required. To add, Rajaram Mandir and Chatrubhuj Temple are amazing, and Lala Hardol Bagh is worth a watch. So is Shaheed smarak enroute from Jhansi to Orchha!

Make no mistake, this fort is quite magnificent and well worth visiting at leisure. We have seen a range of Indian forts and this is amongst the best. There is however, a confusion on many web sites and blogs over ticket price for foreigners. They pretty well all tell you that the price is 250 rupees for the fort complex. This ticket has ceased to exist in the recent past and it is now 750 for the various buildings in the complex. They advertise the fact that the ticket also buys you entry to a range of other buildings and temples around the town …..but with the exception of the Chhatris on the river front the rest are all free anyway. Entry for Indians is about 50 rupees. We still think it was worth it to us but hopefully this post will clear up some confused and confusing web information.
