Bundelkhand Fort Challenge
Visit four of the six forts and fortified towns on the Bundelkhand trail before the end of the year. The route is built so the highest-scoring stops come last — Garhkundar, seventy kilometres from Orchha and from the same dynasty, takes about four thousand visitors a year against Orchha's five hundred thousand.
