On the road again

Head out by taxi to Orchha and the road is horrendous, there's no direct rail link, so this is a good option and a real treat compared to a days bumpy bus journey.  Get there in the afternoon and head out to the main palace and start climbing up and the steep steps and end up on the top terrace with a fantastic view of the town. There's clusters of incredible monuments and temples all round town.  After a vertigo fuelled descent (mostly on my arse) I head back to the entrance and get an auto rickshaw to whisk me round town before the daylight fades.  This town has an incredible history. In one old palace there's a huge mural depicting a battle with the English, with hundred of troops with guns descending on the fort. Then there's the kings palaces by the river and a huge fort in the middle of town to explore.  So glad that I added this to my destinations as  it's so lovely lovely and an added bonus is the amount of hassling is almost nonexistent!!!!
