Delicious food & lovely instructor (Rajini). We had the choice of participating or watching which was nice for everyone in the group. Some people wanted a more hands on experience and some preferred a demonstration. We learned how to cook several different dishes which I have been successful re-creating now that I am home! Rajni was great at providing instructions and answering our many questions. She provided western alternatives for some of the culinary tools they used that we do not have at home. Would recommend this to anyone and everyone! The recipes momentos you will have with you for life (:

Iam traveling for memories I do photography as well and so I am always in seek for good place. I am from Mumbai so me and my friends were searching over the weekend place to a visit. where I can practice photography and explore a new place. I was ready to explore MP i read that it have amazing monuments and rich culture.the forts are very much healthy and open for tourist with light shows. with good amount of research, we finally decided to visit Jhansi and orrccha which is in Madhyapradesh.place was historical rich and famous for food as well like gajak,jalebi,kachori etc. Traveling:The major railway station is Jhansi JHS which is big and famous railway station.city dont have airport yet but yes Gwalior is nearest airport situated 2 hrs away. stay:Its a famous and big railway stations so you have many hotels and hostels.I prefer to stay near orccha so thati can explore that for and temple in the evening.also i attended light and sound show. Attraction:so once you reach city then we have jhansi and orrcha to explore.orccha is 30 min away from city by bus\auto.sometimes share auto takes more time so just prefer direct auto.both locations you can travel normally dont go for one day tour it will cost more.places are nearby so you can manage.but if you want to mange all one one day they you should really hire something because its manageable to cover all in a day Orccha:The historic town of Orchha, nestled on the banks of river Betwa, was founded in the 16th century by the Bundela Rajput Chief, Rudra Pratap. Here, the river Betwa splits into seven channels, also called the Satdhara. Jahangir Mahal Ram Raja Temple Chhatris Chaturbhuja Temple Laxminarayan Temple Raj Mahal Food: SEESH MAHAL HOTEL is famous around Orccha also you will find many local hotels where on demand you will get served hot. expenses: This totally depends on you how you wanna travel.if you want to travel by local bus then its reasonable i did this in 1700 with food 2000 maybe because I am foodie :)

The temples towering Shikaras seems to reach out to the sky and the locals claim that the towering Shikharas of the temple were once covered with fine gold, which vanished over a period of time. Built on a huge platform, one needs to climb several steps to reach out to the temple. The exterior of the temple is intricately decorated with lotus emblems and other religious symbols.

A must visit in Orchha, wonderful work of architecture, small walk from the town on the banks of the Betwa river the Cenotaphs are a peaceful place to spend the early morning and late evenings. The garden and the middle of the complex is an excellent place to walk around. Note that you need to buys your tickets from the tourist ticket counters in the city, no counter at the Cenotaphs.

It's Must Visit Location if you are in Orachha. It's part of Orachha Fort Complex itself & you don't need any extra ticket to visit this location in Orachha Fort. It's Good to have Local Guide to know the history brief if money is not a problem.

I visited this temple at the end. Its situated behind the village. Its like its overlooking the whole town. Architecture of this temple is very unique having fortified walls and an owl's head on the top of the entrance, bcz its vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi. Its walls bear a unique style of painting. Its own kind of temple. Would love to visit Orchha again.
