orchha-tour Orchha is a village town located in the Bundelkhand region in Uttar Pradesh, India. The place's splendor has been beautifully captured in stone and frozen in time. Orchha boasts of the massive Orcha Fort-Palace-Temple Complex which is a major tourist attraction.

Situated on the banks of the Betwa River, the Orchha Fort was built by the Bundela Chief Rudra Pratap Singh in the 16th century. It houses many 'architectural wonders' such as Raja Ram Mandir, Laxmi Narayana Mandir, Jehangir Palace, Raj Palace and Rani Praveen Palace.

The Orchha Fort has glorious past and mythological attachments. It's the only place where Lord Rama is worshipped as a king and not as a god. Rama's statue inside the Rama Raja Temple--a famous tourist attraction of Orchha--was brought from Ayodhya by Madhukar Shah, one of the Bundela rulers.

Jehangir Palace, another pride of the Orchha Fort complex, is a tiered palace crowned by graceful chatris. The Palace was built to honour the Mughal emperor Jehangir when he had visited Orchha. 

In its heydays, the massive and strong Orchha Fort stored enough ration and ammunitions that could last for a few years in case it was besieged by the enemies. No wonder, the fort remained unconquered and proudly defied the mighty Marathas who could not conquer it despite doing everything in their power. 

Orchha's 15 km away from Jhansi and 110 km away from Gwalior and is well connected.
