Introducing Jhansi
Looking at the map, Jhansi lies at the narrow mouth of a globular Uttar Pradesh incursion into Madhya Pradesh. It’s in the west of the mountainous Bundelkhand region that has long been a hiding place for dacoits (outlaws) such as Phoolan Devi, the ‘Bandit Queen’. Jhansi fort bears testament to the town’s turbulent history, but Jhansi today is mostly used by travellers as a transit point for Orchha and Khajuraho.
