The area known as Bundelkhand has its own
natural grandeur. The mighty Vindhya and Satpura break up the
vast plateau ranges and streaked by meandering rivers. During
the course of its varied and colourful history, there have been
rulers of differing religious beliefs and the diverse mingling
of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Islam have given rise to vibrant
art and architecture, seen throughout this unique journey. The
whole area envelopes you with the sense of a great past: its monuments
telling stories of empires and kingdoms, of warriors and architects.
With flying kept to a minimum, and incorporating
the excellent trains operating in this area, you visit the incomparable
Taj Mahal, the Scindia stronghold of Gwalior, the delightful little
village of Orchha and a short drive from Orcha to Khajuraho brings
