Datia
Another little town located about 50 kms from Orchha with an interesting history and yet another Jahangir Mahal. The palace however was considered by Lutyen as one of the most interesting building in India. The fort that was built in 1620 is about 130 ft. high with seven floors and 2 underground floors.
There are few more palaces and other structures around the palace including some cenotaphs and a not much happening museum.
