Perfect place for hangout for single day trip. Not much to explore. There only visiting centre of about 1 km. Avoid in summers. Good to go from your own vehicle. For solo travelers, nearest railway station is jhansi which is about 20 km. You can find local bus from Jhansi bus station. Fare is rs. 30 per head. After sunset, it is difficult to find return bus.

It is a great place like everything in Orchha. But there has been a major fall back lately - the ticket price for foreigners hiked from 250 to 2000 rupees, which is costlier than Taj or Lal Qila. It doesn't make sense at all since this place haven't even become popular enough among tourists yet, and covid just killed all tourist industry inside the town. That is the reason why I am changing my rating and giving less stars. Else Orchha is one of my favorite places in India.

These are indeed a masterpiece of construction 500 years ago! Awesome! Due to the shortage of time we had to leave in a hurry. Please arrange for a guide when you visit or scan the narrations kept at various places to appreciate the great monuments!

I recently had the privilege of visiting Orchha Fort, and I can't express how mesmerizing this historical gem truly is. As I stepped into this centuries-old complex, it felt like I had been transported to a different era. Orchha Fort is a true treasure trove of history and culture. It's a place where the past comes alive, and you can't help but be enchanted by its charm. This visit was a journey that deepened my appreciation for India's rich heritage. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an enriching and unforgettable experience. Visit during the early morning or late afternoon for the best lighting and a quieter atmosphere.Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the vast complex.Take your time to soak in the details; every nook and cranny has a story to tell.

A historic monument… mixed of Rajpoot and Mughal architecture!! View inside and from the fort complex is beautiful… one side you will see river flowing between see and on other you will see Chaturbhuj temple… avoid going here in summers !!

This place is Magic. If you are going to Gwalior or nearby places or south UP then you must stop here for an entire day and witness this magnificent place. There wasn’t any rush when I visited but try visiting in the morning or in the evening time. Sound and Light show also happens in the evening. On the other side there are two famous temples so visit those as well. Almost a few meters from there you will get to find the Chattris on the bank of river. Boating also happens over there. One mistake that I did was to follow good maps to reach there, it took me to internal villages and no roads kind of roads. So, take highway only and you will reach there easily.

It was an awesome experience visiting Orchha fort. It's situated in Madhya Pradesh, we went there from Jhansi. The beauty of historical places has always fascinated me. Do visit once if you love historical places too. 😊

Magnificent architecture telling tales of history. Orchha is very clean & peaceful place to visit. Localities are very humble. Note - It's cleaner than you can imagine, please let it be like that :)

The fort was well maintained . A ticket is required which is applicable for all the historical places nearby. Price of ticket is Rs 50. Inside there is Raja Mahal and Jahangir Mahal, Dauji ki Haveli, Rani Mahal, .

What a beautiful place! Forts inside are so so so beautiful. The tickets are a basic Rs. 10 per head for Indians,.which is used throughout, from the first fort to the Cenotaphs at the end, such a bargain! An experience of a lifetime.

Got a chance to visit this extraordinary place in Jhansi. History about this place is fascinating. Bharat is land of KINGS and this place shows what Royalty is. Beautiful architecture in that era with proper draining system and every other facilities. . . . This place is not that crowded since it’s a huge area. must visit and experience the history of Bharat.🇮🇳 ❤️Do not forget to hire a guide which will tell you everything about the place.📌

Orchha, nestled in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, is a treasure trove of history and heritage, boasting some of the most magnificent forts and palaces in India. Among its crown jewels is the Orchha Fort, a sprawling complex that transports visitors back in time to the grandeur of the medieval era. Exploring Orchha Fort is a journey through centuries of architectural marvels and tales of valor. From the imposing ramparts to the intricately carved temples and palaces within, every corner of the fort resonates with the echoes of its storied past. Walking through its labyrinthine passages, one can't help but marvel at the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the artisans who built this magnificent edifice. But Orchha Fort is not just a relic of the past; it is also a vibrant hub of activity and culture. Families and friends

I had an excellent experience of the entire Ram Temple also you can visit Jehangir Mahal as well as Raja Mahal Fort along with it that will add a sugar to your tea I.e. will be worth visiting 😉

This palace is well preserved and it is wonderful to see. Don't miss it. The Raja Mahal is within the Orchha fort on your right once you enter

Orchha Fort is a generic term, because it contains three palaces (Raja, Jahangir and Sheesh), a beautiful garden and more. It is not in a bad condition, but certainly could do with more funds to restore it to obviously better times. There is enough to see in Orchha to easily fill a day. It worth visiting all sites with a good guide. The fort was built following the founding of the Orchha State in 1501 AD by Rudra Pratap Singh (r. 1501–1531), a Bundela Rajput. The palaces and temples within the fort complex were built over a period of time by successive Maharajas of the Orchha State. Of these, the Raja Mandir or Raja Mahal was built by Madhukar Shah who ruled from 1554 to 1591.  Jahangir Mahal and Sawan Bhadon Mahal were built during the reign of Vir Singh Deo (r. 1605–1627). The features of "pepper pots and domes" seen in the fort complex, inspired Lutyens in the architecture of the structures which he built in New Delhi.

Truly loved the place. Orchha is definitely a hidden beauty. The architecture is so so breathtaking and city is very very beautiful. The fort looks even more beautiful at night with all the lights. They also have a light show in the evening which are available in 2 languages- english and hindi. Must visit place if you are a fan of Indian Architecture. #incredibleindia #mptourism

Big fort!! Took 2-3 hours to cover the whole fort. Raja mahal and jhanghir mahal, theirs stories and fort architecture were just marvellous. Too much detailings and every detailing has some unique stories. Must visit this fort.

Great architecture work. Built during 16-17 century. one of the tallest Viman among Hindu temples standing at 344 feet. Must visit ram lala mandir during orcha trip

Travelling thru India we had a chance to visit many forts - fortresses and palaces, placed in the city centre or dominating over city from the hill. This one wasn’t the best one, but surely worth it to visit. Ticket could be purchased near the fort entrance and covers all facilities.

Orchha fort complex is one of the very underrated tourists places in India, located near Betwa river the fort is very beautiful and resembles history at every single place inside the complex. Unfortunately, the fort complex is not well maintained and they need to preserve and renovate. The construction and architecture of the palaces inside the fort are very beautifully done and you will love spending more and more time inside. If you are visiting during the winter then try visiting before 4 else you will not able to witness the beauty of this place.

Orchha is believed to have been established in 16th century by Maharaja Rudra Pratap Singh and after undergoing many changes it got its glory during the reign of Raja Madhukar Shah who constructed his palace in the fort complex, named as Raja Mahal in early 17th century. He was a deeply religious person and the palace constructed by him is decorated with beautiful murals showing the stories of Indian gods and their stories. How these 500 year old intricately designed murals painted in different colors are still intact is a great surprise and testimony to those ancient artists who were expert in the science of beautiful colors used. In fact the Orchha fort complex has no signs of fort but a conglomerate of many palaces constructed within a 2km area with Betwa river on one side. Beside Raja Mahal is the more popular Jahangir Mahal, that was constructed by the next king. It got its name as such because next Orchha king Bir Singh had made it for the stay of Moghul Emperor, Jahangir but he never stayed there. Jahangir Mahal does not have any murals or paintings and its construction design is a mix of Hindu/Mogul architect. It is a five story structure and gives a view of Orchha town, cenotaphs, Laxmi Narayana Palace and many other structures. A Light and Sound program is also arranged here on every evening in Hindi and English languages and is very interesting as it narrates the story of Moghul Emperor Akbar's interest in the beautiful queen/poetess of Raja Indermani and sending her back impressed by her poetic reply to Akbar. The program also highlights the valour stories of famous warriors, Chartrasal brothers etc. and court manipulations.

Fantastic

A quiet less known place to explore. The structures are unique and show of craftsmanship. The carvings for windows in stone makes this place look majestic.

It was a 40 minutes drive from jhansi and the beauty was unexpected. Words won't do any justice. Not a big tourist spot yet among us Indians but international tourists there were way more than indians. It should be on everyone go-to list. Such an important Historic Hindu place it is

The fort of Orchha is very beautiful, once you come there, you don't want to leave it because it is historical, it is beyond the scope of Ramraj Darbar, it is also lucky to come there.

Fee- INR 10 for Indians, INR 250 for foreigners. The fort complex houses the prominent Raja Mahal, which is the definition of intricate architecture. A part of it converted into Ram Raja Temple is the only place in the country where Lord Rama is worshipped as King Rama. Other popular structures in the fort premises include Jahangir Mahal, built by Bir Singh Deo in 1605 and Rai Parveen Mahal, which was built by Raja Indrajit exclusively for dancer-poetess Rai Praveen. The light and sound show in Orchha Fort is a major tourist attraction for people exploring Orchha tourist places. Timing- 9 am – 5 pm.

Good place and Rajaram Sarkar temple and fort and river garden all places beautiful

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and beautiful (Original) बहुत ही खूबसूरत और सुंदर

One of the best fort of Orchha

Awesome a

Nice place......love it

Beautiful place beautiful story

Very nice

One of the best forts I came across. The management did a great job in maintaining it. To visit this place you need to buy the tickets. If you buy oneline then single tickets will be used to visit all the places and monuments in Orchha. The architecture and the interior is amazing and the place is hygienic. Most of the walls and paintings are as it is. One can get the view of Chaturbhuj temple, betwa river, agriculture field through different directions from the fort. One can also go behind the fort to see the river and the route to the river is peaceful and full of fresh air. It's a walkable distance and I'm sure you're gonna enjoy that as well. This fort is worth a visit.

Palace offers an amazing view. Similar to all other monuments of MP tourism, this is also needs attention. But a must visit place for its surroundings.

One of the famous places in Orchaa and as well as Madhya Pradesh. It is nearly 500 years old and is a great historical place to visit with your family.

Wow !what a fort.. Mesmerizing architecture and view . Orchha is a very small place but it is very rich in its historical monuments... You can explore this fort with the help of a guide . Orchha fort, sheesh mahal(now MPT hotel) and Jahangir palace all are in the same premises..

Very huge and symmetrical construction. Well maintained condition. You can explore here at morning time

16-17th century fort and it is well maintained! A very good family attraction which tells the history of our grt country! God visit. Takes half a day to go thru the whole fort and in d evening hosts Light and Sound show for everyone to see and enjoy and listen to the stories and history of our past!

It has got palaces and other structures inside . Great architecture symbolising Indo-Islamic style

Orchaa is few kilometres from jhansi ..it is easy accessible and affordable ...in the vicinity of Lord Ram its a significant place. The Forst is really amazing and worth visiting. It gives the view of whole orchaa.

Really a good place to visit. I must say make a plan of 4-5 days because have a lot of place to cover ... Fort / Mandirs / Santury and River. I must say a great pack of Religion / Fun and Adventure.

Excellent

Awesome

good

Herculean fort and beautiful palaces. Stairs are so steep for climbing.

Nice weekend

Very lovely 😍 place to visit

Marvelous

History of orcha lies in it. If you're visiting orcha don't miss it.

Great Architecture...500 year old , build by Great Bundela Rulers , Golden Era

Orcha fort one of my favourite place its really beautiful and view are so lovely and river looking so beautiful 😍

Amazing architecture.. smaller in scale compared to other famous monuments ..surroundings are beautiful ..betwa river flows nearby.. there is a mp tourism restaurant and hotel as part of complex.. clean and well maintained

Peaceful place where u can explore yourself, Lovely place to spend quality time and enjoy with family and friends.

a great view can be seen from the top of the fort🔥 and also you can see some great amount of detailing on the walls. Great historical place to visit during winters. Also there are a lot of monkeys there.

Excellent place to visit. This is still an unexplored place and I must say the beauty is still same. Take more time, guide and an excellent camera when you visit the fort

Very knowledgeable place and proud to be an Indian

A really great architecture marvel made in 80's but still intact. The walls are little bit rusty but still have the strength to hold the canon balls. Loved the Architecture and the nearby development.

Beautiful

Very beautiful fort, kids must be taken there

This is an ancient fort which has a story related to hindu mythology . But this fort is not well maintained and preserved by the government . Near this fort is the famous raja ram mandir .
