On arrival at Gwalior airport or railway station, our representative will welcome you and assist with a short drive to your hotel. After check-in and some rest, it will be time to begin your immersive Gwalior city tour.

We will start with the imposing Gwalior Fort, perched on a sandstone hill just 3 km from the city Centre. This grand fort, dating back to the 8th century, houses magnificent palaces, gateways, and temples that reflect the city’s royal past. Then, we will continue onwards to the Teli Ka Mandir, located inside the fort complex, celebrated for its towering spire and rare mix of Hindu and Buddhist architectural influences. After a short 10-minute drive, we will take you to the intricately designed Saas Bahu Ka Mandir, a pair of temples known for their fine carvings and artistic elegance.

If time permits, you can also explore the opulent Jai Vilas Palace, situated about 5 km from the fort, where the Scindia family’s royal residence and museum showcase chandeliers, palatial halls, and rare artefacts. After a full day of sightseeing, we will drop you at your hotel, where you will retire for the night.

Day 2: Gwalior to Khajuraho + En Route Orchha Visit

After having a palatable buffet breakfast, you will check out of your hotel, and we will begin the drive to Khajuraho, stopping en route for an engaging Orchha heritage tour. Orchha is approximately 230 km from Gwalior. Upon arrival, we will take you to the magnificent Orchha Fort Complex, home to several palaces and temples that reflect the grandeur of the Bundela dynasty. First stop in the fort is the Raj Mahal, renowned for its intricate frescoes and sweeping views of the Betwa River.
