Detailed itinerary
1
Your travel companion will pick you up at the hotel or at the meeting point. Then you either start with the air-conditioned car. The journey leads through small, tranquil villages with many fields and animals. Agriculture is often still carried out manually here, buffalos graze in front of historical temples and families meet at the wells or in the shade of large, old trees. Historic temples and small rivers are also on the way. Soon you will reach the waterfall, which is actually a canyon with its steep cliffs. From a viewing platform you have a wonderful view of this beautiful place. In the small outdoor café there is time for a chai or a small snack. And in the small museum there are some nice photos (local animals & plants, as well as flood photos) and a model of the area to see. Afterwards you can go back with the chosen means of transport or the tour can be expanded and combined with our other offers (e.g. hike by the waterfall, where crocodiles can be observed depending on the season, boat trip on the Ken River, temple visit in Khajuraho, guided tour of the old village Khajuraho, accompaniment to massage, henna, cooking in traditional Indian house & kitchen, restaurant visit, market, yoga classes, etc.)
