Orchha 2018 Run T-shirt
Travellers, heritage enthusiasts, runners and visitors participating in Go Heritage Run - Orchha this December will run through this 16th Century town when it is at its prettiest - in the early dawn hours. And the Orchha 2018 run t-shirt has been inspired by exactly that - Sunrise at Orchha.
Orchha 2018 Run Routes
They're a combination of road and trail and traverse some of Orchha's iconic heritage sites - its fort, the chattris and then head across the river Betwa into a wildlife sanctuary on an island. Read more about the 5KM, 10KM and 21KM run routes here.
There's lots to see in Orchha
The Orchha Fort Complex, situated on the banks of the Betwa has many palaces to explore. The nearby Chhattris or cenotaphs are worth a visit too. And see if you can spot a vulture while you're there - they're known to be very silent and still.
