- 03
Jhansi
Best for: Rail and air connections, plus Jhansi and Orchha sights
Good to know: About 125 km from Deogarh, so it works better as a stop on a longer Bundelkhand trip than as a base for Deogarh.

Before you book
What to check when booking for older travellers
- Ask for a lift, or a ground-floor room — many heritage hotels have steps and no lift.
- Check how far the hotel is from the sights you care about, in minutes by road, not kilometres.
- Prefer free cancellation until close to the date, in case plans or health change.
- Look for 24-hour reception, in-house dining and a doctor-on-call policy.
- Read recent reviews for noise — old-city streets and wedding venues can be loud late.
