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.
Orchha: Travel itineraries
Since you're in the region, we suggest combining your trip to Orchha with a visit to nearby Khajuraho and Kalinjar Fort. There's MP Tourism hotels at each of these destinations and Khajuraho and Orchha can both be covered over 3-4 days.
