PACKAGE OVERVIEW
The Khajuraho–Orchha Heritage Route explores two of Central India’s most significant yet understated historic centres.
Khajuraho represents the artistic and spiritual zenith of the Chandela dynasty, where temple sculpture conveyed philosophy, devotion, and everyday life. Orchha, by contrast, reflects medieval Bundela power — a fortified river town where palaces, temples, and cenotaphs coexist in silence and scale.
This journey is designed for travellers seeking depth over spectacle, with time to understand architecture, symbolism, and the political context behind these monuments.
