Getting to Orchha

Usually the biggest line in the budget — and the one the estimate above leaves out.

Delhi → Jhansi

train · 4.5h

₹600

1 way / person

Jhansi → Orchha

cab · 0.5h

₹700

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Jhansi by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,400 — so a whole trip lands near ₹6,410 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Orchha's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
