Orchha Palace on a misty morning at sunrise

The Orchha palace on a misty morning

Sunrise can be quite a pleasant sight on a misty morning at Orchha Palace, Madhya Pradesh. Of course, we advise you to dress warm if you visit in the winter. Most probably, you’d experience below 10-degree temperatures in the morning around this time of the year. Alternatively, you could just sit back and enjoy the view on today’s homepage!

While Orchha town was founded in 1531, various rulers added buildings to the palace-fort over the years. Numerous cenotaphs or ‘chhatris’ dot the vicinity of the fort, just off the Betwa river on a seasonal island. With Gwalior Airport about 150 kilometres away, and Kanpur 250 kilometres, it might be more convenient to take a train to Orchha station, or the Jhansi railway station just about 15 kilometres away, if you plan to visit.
