What To Expect
Khajuraho Temples
This privately designed heritage trip will start with your driver picking you up from your hotel at 8:00 in the morning. This collection of Hindu, Buddhist or Jain temples are famous for their amazing sculptures and carvings, inclined symbols and signs and nagara-style architecture. Its unique and marvelous architecture has placed it in the lists of UNESCO sites of World Heritage. Built-in early 10th -12th century these temples are marvellous pieces of architecture in current time. These sensational sculptures and architecture depict the massive passion, amazing music, dance, and other creative arts and their geniuses of Chandela dynasty. Situated in the state of Madhya Pradesh this group of temples numbered to 85, out of which only 20 has survived over this long period of time. Presently these are distinctively divided into two groups as Western and Eastern group of temples. This cluster of temples is believed to connect with an interesting story of Chandela dynasty. It is said that the Moon God attracted and physically connected to a beautiful Brahmin girl, Hemvati in desire and passion. This resulted in the birth of Chandravarman, the founder of the Chandela Dynasty. Once Chandravarman had a dream of his mother requesting him to make a temple picturing the treasure of passion and amazing fantasy to the world. This led to the construction of temples with amazing sculptures in this little village surrounded by mountains of Chatarpur district. Every temple is different from another and two temples amongst them were built of sandstone.
Built-in the 900 AD, this temple is known to be as the oldest amongst the 20 survived temples. Dedicated to Goddess Kali, this is the only Granite formed temple here.

5.00I did the Khajuraho 8-hour temple tour and, although there aren’t many reviews for it, rest assured it is legit and of good quality. My guide, Karan, was extremely knowledgeable about the temples in Khajuraho. He explained the stories behind the most interesting sculptures and kept the tour lighthearted and engaging throughout. He knew the sites very well and was even able to accommodate some souvenir shopping along the way. As I was travelling on my own, we completed the tour in about 5 hours (rather than the full 8), but I am satisfied that we managed to cover everything.
Best tour ever …

5.00We extremely enjoyed the amazing full day tour of Kajuraho temples given by guide Ganeshiam, who went out his way to give us the very best experience, showing such a deep knowledge of Indian history and mythology. We visited the most gorgeous Hindu temples from the Western & Eastern part as well as a couple of charming Jainist temples, a few from the South & North. We had lunch at a nice restaurant and also visited some exquisite shops . It was indeed the most comprehensive cultural experience of Khajuraho one could ever get.
Enjoyable and informative

5.00A fascinating and educational tour of these amazing structures. Naturally they (Jain temples excluded) are associated with the Kama Sutra but there is so much more than that! The figures depict every day activities; culture and worship in extraordinary detail and in 3D. Our guide gave us wonderful and surprising insights into these memories of human history and beliefs. Extraordinary tributes to a highly sophisticated society that existed a 1000 years ago. The timing was flexible as was the tempo and itinerary which allowed us to get the most out of the day and accommodate other ad-hoc objectives without missing a beat on this tour. Very worth the effort and please take the tour with this guide.
