Seeing the Beguiling architecture of Orchha online, I wanted to visit this place and savour it with my own eyes.

Orcha was around 170 kms from Khajuraho, but the road was mostly highway, so one could reach in around 2 and half hours. We took a cab from Khajuraho, reached Orcha around 12pm. We covered Ram Raja Mandir, Orcha Fort, and Chatris beside Betwa River. Though we wanted to spend more time there, our 5 year old became very cranky at the end, and we had to leave in a hurry.

Panna is known for their tigers. However, as luck might have it, we saw none. We did not see much of any animals. Some deers that’s it.

Khajuraho Trip – Khajuraho archeological museum

We went to the museum on our last day in Khajuraho. We should have been there on our first.

The museum, other than having some awesome artefacts, also had explanations on the types of statues in the temples, types of temples, etc. Hence, if you start your Khajuraho trip from here, you won’t need a guide anymore.

This cliffy beach looked so picturesque that it had long been in my wishlist. Varkala beach is around 700 kms from Bangalore. Just about crosses the threshhold of distance that you would want to drive and go. While looking for other options, I found a train, Kanyakumari express, which overnight takes you there. Perfect!
