Day 02

Discover Orchha

Orchha offers a gentler contrast to the busier cities of a North India route.

Suggested overnight: Khajuraho
Day 04

Discover Khajuraho

Khajuraho is a rewarding stop for travellers interested in temple architecture and craftsmanship. Rather than treating the temples as a quick checklist, explore their setting and sculptural detail with context from a local guide. It pairs well with Orchha and Varanasi on a longer northern journey. Your planned visits will be selected around opening schedules and the pace you prefer.

Suggested overnight: Khajuraho
Day 05

Khajuraho to Varanasi

Varanasi is deeply atmospheric and intensely lived-in. The riverfront changes through the day, from quieter early hours to busy evening gatherings. A guide can help you navigate the lanes respectfully, choose suitable viewpoints and understand what is happening around you.
