Datia

Datia is the ancient town which is situated at a distance of about 20 km. from Jhansi. It has been

mentioned in Mahabharat as ‘Daityavakra’. Datia is famous as a pilgrimage spot for devotees of

Siddhapeeth ‘Shri Peetambra Devi’. The other historic monument at Datia is the seven storied palace

of Raja Bir Singh Judeo built on the top of hill with splendid view all around.

years when in exile. This holy city, the abode of the gods, is set in sylvan surroundings on the

beautiful River Mandakini. It is dotted with innumerable temples and shrines today. The places of

Tourist interest are Gupt Godavari, Sati Anusuya, Sphatik Shila, Janki Kund, Hanuman Dhara,

Kamadgiri, Ram Ghat. Chitrakoot is around 200 Kms from Jhansi.

Khajuraho

Khajuraho or ancient "khajurvahaka" derives its name from the khajur tree (the date palm tree),

which abounds in plenty in this region. This quiet sylvan retreat seems to have been an ideal

religious sanctuary nestling in the lap of the Vindhya Mountains. The place, if pictures speak, is a

thousand words, a magnum opus, an expression of Indian sculptures of yore. The founder of the

Chandela dynasty Nannuka or Chandravarman constructed 85 temples dedicated to various gods on

massive altars. These form the pride of Khajuraho even ten centuries later, making it a picturesque

sight of architectural miracles and one wonders as to how the mortal minds and hands could have

conceived and executed these fantasies on stone. The murals and motifs depict scenes from hunting,

feasting, dancing and stress on the sensual and the erotic. Khajuraho is around 170 kms form Jhansi.

Gwalior

Situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh, Gwalior is the city of true royals, the Scindhias. City is well

known for its majestic fort, considered as one of the best in the world. Gwalior is located at a distance

of only 100 km from Jhansi and well connected by road and rail.

The nucleus of Gwalior is a citadel crowning an isolated rock about 91 m (300 ft) high, 3.2 km (2 mi)

long, and 823 m (2700 ft) wide. The rock is said to have been a strong hold for more than Ten

Centuries and Old city is located in the Eastern base of the rock. The old city is covered with white

sandstone Mosque, Palaces, rock temples and statues of archaeological and architectural interest. The

Jiwaji University was built in Gwalior in the year 1964. Gwalior City was the Capital of the princely

State of Gwalior until 1948 and the summer Capital of Madhya Bharat State from 1948 to 1956. With

different Dynasty, the city gained a new dimension from the warrior kings, poets, musicians, and

saints who contributed to making it renowned throughout the country. The city is also the setting for

the memorials of freedom fighters such as Tatya Tope and the indomitable Rani of Jhansi.

The Taj Mahal, Agra

Sheer poetry in marble. Majesty and magnificence, unrivalled. You've seen it often enough, you

think. That glossy white marble building adorning a million brochures, pamphlets and posters. Be

warned. Nothing can prepare you for your first sighting of the building. The Taj Mahal, the one and

only one of its kind across the world. The monumental labour of love of a great ruler for his beloved

queen. The ultimate realization of Emperor Shahjahan's dream. One of the wonders of the world.

From 1631 A.D., it took 22 years in the making. An estimated 20,000 people worked to complete the

enchanting mausoleum, on the banks of the Yamuna. For a breathtaking beautiful view of the Taj

Mahal, see it by moonlight.

How to Reach

Jhansi is located in central part of India and very well connected to major via rail and road network.

The nearest airport is Gwalior (100km) and Khajuraho (170km). The rail connectivity of Jhansi is
