The Khajuraho, Orchha & Gwalior Heritage - Group Tour

Khajuraho · Orchha · Gwalior·
TOUR RATING
New on Evynx

A fixed-departure group heritage spine through Khajuraho, Orchha and Gwalior.

About this tour

A five-day fixed-departure group run down Central India's densest heritage spine - the UNESCO Chandela temples of Khajuraho, Bundela-era Orchha on the Betwa, and the Scindia-era fort and palaces of Gwalior. This is the direct-flight, fixed-departure version of our heritage spine, built for travellers using Khajuraho's own airport (Delhi and Varanasi connections) instead of the Jhansi rail gateway. The route starts and stays two nights in Khajuraho itself, then runs south through Orchha for a night and on to Gwalior for a final night, travelling together in a shared Tempo Traveller. Built for travellers who want three genuinely different eras of Central Indian architecture - temple sculpture, Rajput-Mughal fusion, and Maratha-royal grandeur - in one uninterrupted group circuit, on fixed instant-confirmed departure dates.

Highlights

  • Khajuraho's Western Group of Temples - UNESCO-listed 10th-century Chandela sandstone masterworks
  • Orchha's Jahangir Mahal - a Bundela palace built to host a Mughal emperor for one planned night
  • Gwalior Fort - a hilltop stronghold historically nicknamed the Gibraltar of India
  • Jai Vilas Palace's Durbar Hall - twin 3.5-tonne chandeliers, among the largest in Asia
  • Orchha's riverside Chhatris - fourteen royal cenotaphs lining the Betwa at sunset
