Orchha Tour Packages

About Orchha

Nestled on the banks of the River Betwa, Orchha is a historical town in Madhya Pradesh. Fondly called Raja Ram's kingdom, this place has been ruled by a number of royal dynasties over a period of 300 years. However, the Bundela Rajputs were the ones who not only established this town but also ruled here for the longest period. It was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput ruler, Rudra Pratap. Currently, Orchha is home to a number of forts, palaces, and temples that make it a perfect holiday destination for history enthusiasts.

Best Time for Booking Orchha Tour Packages           

Orchha is one of those few places that you can visit throughout the year. However, the best time to plan a tour for sightseeing in Orchha is from October to March. During these months, the weather remains cool and pleasant, so you can cover all the major attractions for sightseeing in Orchha with ease. Other than the winters, the monsoon season (July-September) is also a suitable time to book your Orchha tour for sightseeing. This is the time when you can witness the beauty of lush green countryside at its best. Since Orchha does not receive heavy rainfall, moving around the city will not be a problem.

Places to Visit on Your Tour to Orchha

Here is a list of some of the major tourist attractions that you should definitely include in the itinerary for your Orchha tour: -

• Orchha Fort Complex: An amazing destination for sightseeing on your Orchha tour, located on the banks of the Betwa River, this magnificent fort complex houses a large number of ancient monuments, such as palaces, temples, etc. In the 16th century, King Rudra Partap Singh started the construction of this fort complex. After that, it was built in multiple stages by different Bundela Rajput rulers. Raja Mahal and Jehangir Mahal are two major highlights of the Orchha Fort Complex, where you can witness beautiful murals with different social themes and intricate carvings on the ceiling and walls.
• Shri Raja Ram Temple: This structure was originally built as a palace by a Bundel Rajput ruler, Madhukar Shah, for his wife. But in the 16th century, it was converted into a Hindu temple, with Lord Ram as the main deity. This temple features a distinctive pink dome, which makes it one of the most beautiful examples of the architectural excellence of the Bundel Empire. Here, you can see the unusual sculpture of Lord Rama with a shield in the left hand and a sword in the right.
• The Royal Chattris: Located near Kanchan Ghat on the Betwa River, this is a set of 14 cenotaphs, built in the memory of Bundel Rajput rulers and other members of the dynasty. All of these triple-storied, dome-shaped structures are adorned with exquisite paintings and fine carvings. Apart from being a major Orchha sightseeing attraction, this cluster of chattris is also a popular sunset point.
• Chaturbhuj Temple: Majorly known for featuring one of the tallest Vimanas (344 feet) among all Hindu temples, this 16th-century temple is another major attraction in Orchha. Dedicated to Lord Vishnu, this temple was built by the Bundela rulers and is one of the most revered temples in Madhya Pradesh. Offering a fine blend of fort, palace, and temple architectural features, this temple is known for its unique, well-planned layout. In addition to this, it also serves as a popular vantage point, offering picturesque panoramic views of the town.
• Laxmi Narayan Temple: Built in 1622 by the Orchha ruler, Bir Singh Deo, this is a famous temple dedicated to Goddess Laxmi. However, this is probably the only Lakshmi temple that does not have a single idol of the goddess. Just like the Chaturbhuj Temple, this structure also offers a combination of temple and fort architecture. Here, you can find stunning murals depicting the life incidents of Lord Rama on the ceilings of the domed towers.
• Chandrashekhar Azad Memorial: Built in honour of Chandrashekhar Azad, a great freedom fighter, this monument is a must-visit attraction in Orchha. It features a life-size bronze statue of the revolutionary hero and is visited by a large number of people on a daily basis.
