If you have just joined me on my journey through Madhya Pradesh, you can read all details about when and where we started from and our travel through Gwalior in the post
Road Trip Through Madhya Pradesh [ Gwalior, Orccha, Jabalpur, Bandhavgarh, Khajuraho]
Continuing with the road trip series.....
We started around 12 from Gwalior towards Orchha. The road is quite bumpy in a lot of places before it clears out. Took us 3 hours to reach Orchha fort.

Orchha,Madhya Pradesh

There is a ticket of Rs 10 for adults and Rs 15 for the camera. The same ticket is needed at Cenotaphs so make sure you keep it safe. Parking is outside the fort almost in the market area. We had lunch (thali) at a small restaurant just outside the fort (RamRaja Restaurant & Cafe - expensive as compared to other places since its targeted towards foreigners but the thali was good).

| Keel Darwaza (door) Orchha Fort, Madhya Pradesh |
Orchha fort has two main palaces, Raja Ram palace and Jahangir Palace. Sheesh Mahal is also there which is now turned into a hotel. You can drive up to Sheesh Mahal and walk down to the other two forts which are adjacent .Both are in a very bad state with mostly the outer structure standing now. There are a lot of steep steps throughout the fort if you wish to climb to the higher floors - the view is amazing from the top but yet my legs were crying when I came back.
