Khajuraho Orchha Private Day Trip with Lunch

After morning pickup from your hotel lobby in Khajuraho, you'll drive a distance of roughly 106 miles (172 km) to Orchha in the comfort of a private vehicle. On arrival in the small village set among the hills, admire a valley formed by the crystal-clear waters of the Betwa River. 

First, pay a visit to Jahangir Mahal, a 17th-century monumental palace in commemoration of Emperor Jahangir. Marvel at the stunning beauty characterized by delicate chhatris (elevated pavilions) and intricate trellis work.

Next is Raj Mahal, also crowned by chhatris and decorated inside with exquisite murals. The 17th-century architectural design features various religious elements. Also get a look at the two-story brick palace of Rai Praveen Mahal, built in remembrance of a 16th-century poet and musician. You may become awestruck upon seeing the prismatic light of sun rays slipping through skillfully carved recesses in the main hall and other chambers.

Continue on with your guide to Chaturbhuj Temple. Decorated with various symbols of religious significance, this majestic temple is mounted upon a giant stone platform and reached via steep stairs. Admire the subtle ornamentation of the exterior and step foot inside to see the high, vaulted walls that imbue a sense of sanctity and peace of mind.

If time permits, you may also visit attractions such as: Laxmi Narayan Temple; the shrines of Siddh Baba Ka Sthan; Jugal Kishore; Janaki Mandir; Phool Bagh; Chhatris Cenotaphs; and the Hanuman Mandir at Ochharedwara.

Whenever you become hungry, your guide will accompany you to restaurant for a mouthwatering lunch.

After your tour, you will be dropped off at your hotel in Khajuraho or the Jhansi Railway Station by your chauffeur (assistance boarding the train is available).
