Another neglected destination in India. It has much less to offer compared to Orchha, but the fort in the city centre is worth for a visit if not in hurry. Many Jain sculptures can be seen from Urvai Gate up to the fort. The Man Singh Palace is beautifully decorated in yellow and blue tiles on the sandstone-coloured structure, the uncommon ducks design gave a sense of unique / humour on it. The Sasbahu temples are full of delicate carvings, small but nice. One should not miss the Indian Coffee House for a nice snacks or meals, the briyani rice is delicious.
