The Majestic Orchha @ ₹ 4200

Brief Overview

The historic town of Orchha, nestled on the banks of river Betwa, was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap. Here, the river Betwa splits into seven channels, also called the Satdhara. Legend goes that this is in honour of the seven erstwhile Chiefs of Orchha.

The ancient town seems frozen in time, with its many monuments continuing to retain their original grandeur even to this day. Here you will find some of the most fascinating temples and palaces that will help you realise a childhood fantasy - travsitelling back in time!

Travel Itinerary

The Orrcha is linked with the local Bundela rulers. The Bundela dynasty was founded by one of the local Rajput princes in the 11th century who made Garkhurar the earlier capital. The Bundelas ruled the central part of India from Orchha, from 1531 to 1783. Later, Raja Rudra Pratap moved the capital of the Bundelas to Orchha in 1531. The association of the Bundelas with the Mughals created many problems for the Bundelas. Bir Singh Deo, the ruler of Orchha from 1605-27, got into serious trouble with the great Mughal Emperor Akbar in 1602, when he was associated with Prince Jahangir, the son of Emperor Akbar.

Mughal forces destroyed the state of the Bundelas. However, the situation changed in 1605, when Akbar died and Jahangir became the Mughal Emperor. In 1606, Emperor Jahangir visited Orchha and for the next 22 years until 1627, Bir Singh Deo had good relations with the Mughals.

In 1627, when Shahjahan became the Mughal Emperor, Bir Singh revolted against the Mughals. However, this revolt was put down by Aurangzeb, the then 13-year-old son of Shahjahan. Though the Mughals defeated the Bundelas, they revived their lost empire. In 1783, the Bundela rulers shifted their capital to Tikamgarh.

Other Details

How to get fit for the trek

In case you’re just starting with a regular fitness routine, phase out your distance targets in the following manner –

Target completing 5 km in 40 minutes when you begin.
Gradually increase your pace by running 4 times a week and bring it down to 5 km in less than 35 mins.
If you are above 45 years and is comfortable with brisk walking, then target covering 10km in 90 minutes.
If you are somebody you prefers cycling over running, then try to cover 25 km in 60 minutes.

Strength – Target 4 sets of squats with 20 in each

This is another area you should work on.
There is a lot of trekking distance that you will cover in high altitude carrying your backpacks.
You have to walk on uneven terrain during the trek. It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
It could be taxing for your legs. For this, strengthening your legs will help.
You can do some squats to strengthen them. Start with 3 sets of squats, with 8 squats in each set and work towards reaching your target in 3 weeks.

Flexibility

Another aspect that will help you trek comfortably is flexibility.
For this, you can do some stretching exercises – stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back muscles and shoulders regularly.
On your trek, it is important that you arrive on the slopes with your muscles relaxed. Carrying a backpack, however light, can become a strain after a while.
These exercises will help you to be in good shape before the trek.

We in Barefoot Trekians believe that if you are fit nothing will be difficult for you.
