Orchha
29 September 2019
Orchha is 2 hours drive from the Alipura Palace Hotel in the direction of Jhansi. Founded in 1531 it was the capital of the Bundela kings until 1738. A series of magnificent 16th and 17th century palaces, cenotaphs and temples suddenly appeared as we approached; each one demanding a stop for photos.
