A morning in Orchha begins with the sun striking the pale stone chhatris across the water; by the time you step into the raft the River Betwa is already pulling you forward, playful and persistent. The trip lifts you away from the town’s 16th‑century palaces and into a ribbon of ripples carved through alluvial flats and scrub forest, where instructors call commands and the current answers.
