Built between 1569 and 1585, it has been desolate for more than four centuries, by all description discarded in 1600 due to a scanty supply of water. A masterwork in red sandstone, the huge ruins remind you of a highly structured film set. Afterward travel to Agra and check-in at hotel.

• Day 7 : Orchha to Khajuraho

  Travel further to Khajuraho - home of the splendid Hindu temples which were built at some point in the Chandela period over a 100 year burst of innovative brains from 950-1050 AD. Commemorate in stone, the carved temples exhibit very creative characteristic of Indian life. Distinguished above all for their fragile sensuality and up-front eroticism, how and why they were built still remains an ambiguity. In fact, the Chandelas seem to have forgone concerning the temples soon after they were finished and it took 'rediscovery' by the British before these overwhelming masterwork were fully cherished in India. Though we won't be able to chase away the ambiguity, we have ample time to see the temples for ourselves! The implausible skill of the artisans is apparent throughout. Adding to the attractiveness, these beyond belief temples deviously change vast as the day passes away, passing from a warm pink at sunrise to white under the midday sun and back to pink at sunset.
