Orchha fort complex is about 5-7 minutes walk from Ram raja temple . Orchha fort complex has Raja mahal , Jehangir Mahal , sheesh Mahal ( sheesh Mahal is now converted into a hotel and restaurant ). The entrance ticket for orcha fort which includes entrance ticket for Raja mahal , Jehangir Mahal , Royal chattris and laxmi temple is Rs 12 per Person. There is a light and sound show daily at Orchha fort . I went for the English show which starts at 7:30 pm and costs Rs 200 er person. The duration of light and sound show is one hour and I will suggest all those who are interested in history to watch light and sound show here. Light and sound show in hindi starts at 8:30 Pm Try to reach this fort in early morning say at about 9 am to avoid heat as the day progresses and also it's good to hire a guide for Raja mahal and Jehangir mahal. The guide charges are fixed and displayed at ticket counter . Orcha fort complex also has a audio guide system. Also do have sufficient stock of drinking water when visiting this fort.

There is parking near ticket counter as well as one can park near Ram Raja Temple parking and walk for 300 meters towards fort. The parking is Rs.30 per car. The entry ticket is Rs.10 per person (less than 15 years is free). Note : Keep this ticket safe as you need to show it while entering Raja Mahal, Chattris and LaxmiNarayan Temple. Once you enter the fort you will feel the vastness of it. There are courtyards and steps to reach at different level. One has to walk and climb it to see the views. Once you are done with main fort complex then you can visit Raja Mahal which is separate complex beside fort. You can see paintings on wall which are painted few hundred years ago. In Raja Mahal as well you need to climb stairs and walk in courtyard hence keep a bottle of water along with you. There are few other complex as well beside main fort.

The Fort is strategically built in such a way that it is on a natural island formed by Betwa river. This was for the safety from enemies during old days. You need to cross the bridge to reach the fort. The sound and light show is conducted in this fort in the evening. It is worth a watch. I would recommend watching the sound and light show in the evening and then watch these palaces and other attractions of the town after then on the next day. It will give a better idea about the orchha town and palaces. This fort consists of mainly 2 parts. The Raja Mahal and Jehangir Mahal. My reviews about these two places is written in the respective attractions. The other palace is Sheesh Mahal which is converted into hotel. Rai Parveen mahal can be a avoided place.
