Your adventure will begin with a convenient pick-up from your lodging in Khajuraho. From there, we will set off towards the Orchha Fort Complex. Excited? Let’s get started!

Upon our arrival, we will first explore the grand Jahangiri Mahal, a fort erected by Raja Bir Singh Ju Deo in the 17th century.
