We were supposed to leave to Orchha at midday today but because we woke at 11 and didn’t have enough time to see some of the sights we decided to stick around for another day.
We saw the grounds of the Jahangir Mahal which is the main attraction in town but to see the inside was 250 rupees, the grounds surrounding it was good enough for me and was free. As we walked around we found a rear entrance that we casually strolled into to get inside the building finding the courtyard where some photos in the guide book were taken. I took the same image as a HDR that looks so much better than in the guidebook. After a little while the security saw us inside and kicked us out.
We went to one of the temples were we were charged only 20 rupees to climb to the top where the view was amazing, I took a few panoramas at the very top of one of the spires that was difficult to get to as the platforms were broken or breaking at best; there were a bunch of bats at the top too that frightened both Emer and me as I climbed to the top.
We bumped into the French girls we met on the journey from Vanarasi whilst having lunch and we got involved with some more special lassi’s. After chatting for a while I passed out for 5 hours waking up at 10pm where Matt (an Engish guy), Emer and I sat and chilled for a few hours before hitting the hay.
