Serene, virgin, untouched and traveller friendly! One of the few sanctuaries that lets you experience the beauty of nature on foot (or bicycle). There are multiple walking trails, quite clearly marked, all leading to different spots. We went in early December, and although didn’t see any animals or birds as such, he the most pleasant relaxed time there. Must visit, keep it a secret though...and please don’t spoil the environment! Also go only if you want to be in touch with nature, not for a picnic or with the expectation of spotting any wildlife as such.

Calm and serene place, can see peacock. Riverside view is beautiful. Going in group will be better

Orchha Century is located on the banks of the river Vetva in Orchha; This type of wild animal deer, Nilgai, monkey, wild boar and various types of birds are also found in this century.There can be trekking in the forest along the banks of the river. Boating facility in the river is also available. The pedal boat can be taken for one hour at a cost of Rs. 50 per person. River rafting can also be done on the availability of water in the river. Overall, there is a great place to celebrate a picnic with the family.

Love the wildlife, cafeteria & park. But in my opinion wildlife sanctuary is not safe, because there have no gards, no saftey under wildlife sanctuary. Even you have to open the gate. Bottles of liquorice were lying in a lot of places. Even dustbin was not there. love the location but come here at your own risk.

Worth visit...it is best place for photography of Orchha Cenotaphs with Betwa river. I recommend visitors to visit this place to catch memorable photos in morning & evening hours.Here sitting benches are available to spend sometime in nature while gazing the beauty of river & cenotaphs. Those who want to do nature walk, may also visit this place.

This is a scenic sanctuary. Located between river Betwa and River Jamuni. Though there are not much wild animals but there is a good deal of trees and water bodies, rivulet and streams of water. There are some old establishments as well and also a watch tower. Entry into this wildlife region is not free. There is a charge for each person and also charge for taking own four wheeler and perhaps for two wheelers as well. Other attractions inside the sanctuary include a Shikargah, which is an abandoned building which was perhaps used by the king or his staff for stay in the forest. This place is near a water stream and a little difficult to find. However, one has to be cautious as there are crocodiles in the river and water bodies.

This place screamed history! The crowded Ram Mandir experience was worth on it's own. Try the Kalakand (dessert), it's really tasty. There are some pretty good resorts nearby. Rafting in the Betwa river is another thing one could try.

A place that depicts the Flora and fauna is always a great place to visit with friends and family.. Although not well maintained and not so clean water is there but u will enjoy here it's beauty...

Watchtower, Sangam two points to visit. Also there is a boating point in the opposite banks of the river for a good photoshoot of Chatris. Not much animal except monkeys, langurs, peacocks and wild cattle.

This place is really awesome for wanderers It is on the bank of river Betwa the sites are really awesome as you can easily reach here as it is well connected by road and rail transport you can easily find taxi from city Jhansi there are many resort and hotels for accommodation. There are many ancient temples in the Orchha city. If you are looking for a adventurous weekend you must visit here and the facilities for tourists are increasingly developed by MADHYA PRADESH TOURISM .

Beautiful! Mesmerizing! Must visit

I saw only monkeys 🐒 here. But the view of Chattris is looking very nice from here.

Spread across an area of around 46 sq km, the sanctuary, cut by the scenic Betwa river, is home to rare varieties of plants and birds. It was established in the year 1994 and has attracted wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers since.

You don't get to see wildlife but the jamuni river is the spot where you can enjoy to the fullest. It's serene.

Beautiful place to hangout with family and friends. Nice view of Betwa river.

Situated near the Betwa river bank the place has a natural eco-system. The surrounding is filled with many monkeys all around. Greenery is the best to add here. One must visit with family and kids here to enjoy the natural beauty and creatures.

Nice place to chill on the weekends peacefully beside beautiful betwa river, there are also a sanctuary where you can visit forests. It has historical places all around and several places. Hotels are not that upto mark.

Super amazing place

There are a lot of monkey. Situated near Betwa river (River view point). I had search internet I found there are cycle available for cycling but in reality no availability of cycle in this sanctuary. Tick per person 50 rupee.

Peaceful environment with best sunset view.🌅

This is the beautiful place river point. There is hardly a wild life in the sanctuary. best time to visit Orchha and this forest space is during winters. Though a great place to take a walk or spend some good time.

A fantastic view of nature , slow flowing water and wildlife.a place where can feel the nature in its original form.

Orchha (or Urchha) is a town in Niwari district of Madhya Pradesh state, India. The town was established by Rudra Pratap Singh some time after 1501, as the seat of an eponymous former princely state of covering parts of central & north India, in the Bundelkhand region. Orchha lies on the Betwa River, 80 km from Tikamgarh & 15 km from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh. Orchha was founded in 1531 (the 16th century AD) by the Bundela chief, Rudra Pratap Singh,[4] who became the first King of Orchha, (r. 1501-1531) and also built the Fort of Orchha. The Chaturbhuj Temple was built by the queen of Orchha, Ganesh Kunwar, while Raj Mandir was built by 'Raja Madhukar Shah' during his reign, 1554 to 1591. On a seasonal island on the bank of the Betwa River, which has been surrounded by a battlement wall, stands a huge palace-fort. The fort consists of several connected buildings erected at different times, the most noteworthy of which is the Raja Mahal. Chaturbhuj Temple at Orchha, is noted for having one of the tallest Vimana among Hindu temples standing at 344 feet. The Ram Raja Temple is built on a square base and has an almost entirely plain exterior, relieved by projecting windows and a line of delicate domes along the summit. The Jahangir Mahal is built on a rectangular base and is relieved by a circular tower at each corner surmounted by a dome, while two lines of graceful balconies supported on brackets mark the central storeys. The roof is crowned by eight large fluted domes, with smaller domes between them, connected by an ornamental balustrade. The Jahangir Mahal is considered to be a singularly beautiful specimen of Mughal architecture.[1] A point worth mentioning here is that the mother of Jahangir, Mariam-uz-Zamani, was a Rajput princess. It is with this in mind that the Rajput king of Orchha had built the Jahangir Mahal. There is a spectacular light and sound show in the evening hours in the Jahangir Mahal. The show displays the history of the city of Orchha and the Jahangir Mahal.[9] Chaturbhuj Temple is an old temple from the 9th century, and is noted for having one of the tallest Vimana among Hindu temples standing at 344 feet. Sadhu of Orchha The Uth Khana (Camel Shelter) where the King's camels were stationed is right next to the fort and is a must-see. Tourists can also climb on the roof of the Uth Khana and get a fantastic view of Orchha town. The ruins behind the fort complex are an even greater sight. It makes a tourist travel back in time and is an integral part of a visit to Orchha. It houses the residences of various military officers, ministers (housing, roads), gunpowder factory, etc. Numerous cenotaphs or chhatris dot the vicinity of the fort and the Betwa river. Elsewhere about the town there is an unusual variety of temples and tombs, including the Chaturbhuj temple, which is built on a vast platform of stone. The more unguarded and neglected of these buildings are popular hangouts for tropical bees, wasps, and other such excitable stinging creatures.

Beautiful ambience, delicious food & perfect services. Staff was very supportive & polite. Enjoyed a lot.

The ambience of the place is mesmerizing. A beautiful place with lots of greenery and pleasant weather. Good for beginner trekking and fun for a family visit. Overall a fun place to visit and takes around 3-4 hours.

Great view, diverse nature, big territory.
