Herd of cows graze on monsoon greenery in Orchha, Madhya Pradesg, India. What a lovely old world image from the Old India - truly bucolic India at her rural and happiest best! This historic village on the banks of the boulder-strewn Betwa River showcases a supreme display of Mughal architecture, some of which is similar to that of nearby Khajuraho with much grander palaces and cenotaphs dotting the pastoral landscape as well. The atmosphere in Orchha, though, is far more laid-back and hassle-free, which makes for a relaxing stay. There are great homestay options as well as opportunities to enjoy the surrounding countryside, with walking, cycling and rafting all on the agenda.
