Orchha Wildlife Sanctuary spans 44 square kilometers of dry deciduous forest and riverine habitat along the Betwa River.

Jeep safaris offer the best chance to see wildlife, while the scenic backdrop of ancient cenotaphs adds a unique cultural dimension. The sanctuary is a haven for nature lovers and photographers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience.
