Orchha

we are staying in the maharani suite of the hotel Sheesh Mahal which is situated in the Jehangir Palace. It has a bar, open from 1100- 1500h and 1900-2230. Unfortunately 'happy hour' (20% discount) is from 1530-1900! This does exist but most of the cocktails are 'off'!



Peanuts, pakora, beer and a gimlet. Note the peanut bag made from newspaper and glue.

The Sheesh Mahal hotel is part of the Jehangir mahal which must have been awe-inspiring in its heyday. And the view from afar is certainly impressive. Viewing the inside is not for the feint-hearted with steep steps and stairways with no railings. And you come out onto walkways with parapets as high as your knees. Better to be one of the many monkeys which own the roofs.
