Things to do in Orchha

This is one of the oldest and most endangered castles in Rajasthan. From a distance, it looks like a sand sculpture standing on a sand table. To this day, a quarter of the population of Jaisalmer still lives in the castle. There are many temples in the castle, and it is difficult to distinguish between the houses and the temples.

Visits to Orchha Sanctuary offer excellent opportunities to relax and enjoy the forest, the meandering, braided streams of the beautiful, pristine Betwa River, and typical wildlife of Central India's fields and forests. You may often spot a herd of Nilgai, also known as the Indian Blue Bull, the largest (and most improbable looking) antelope of the Indian subcontinent, often described as looking like a horse with the head of a cow. The large Hanuman monkeys and smaller macaque monkeys are abundantly present, along with chittal deer and a rich variety of riverine and forest birds.
