Banda

Banda is one of the most culturally rich and historically significant districts of Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh. Known for its ancient forts, spiritual sites, and scenic natural beauty, Banda is a destination where history whispers from every corner and nature soothes every soul.

Banda is home to the majestic Kalinjar Fort, a hilltop fortress with roots in the Mahabharata era and ties to the Chandela dynasty. The fort offers panoramic views of the Vindhya ranges and is a treasure trove of ancient sculptures, temples, and mysterious underground tunnels. The fort’s Neelkanth Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a revered pilgrimage site carved out of solid rock.
