After the visit of Matangeswara temple, will walk towards Western group of temple which are the main temple site of the town a group of 11 temples. And it's a world heritage UNESCO site: here will be exploring the architecture, history, and many unknown fact of Indian culture and tradition.

Parsvanath temple,

After the visit of temples at the end of the tour we will be visiting The old village of Khajuraho, here we will be exploring the oldest part of the town while interacting with locals to know the culture and lifestyle of locals.
I want to show people the other part of the beautiful country that India is: Its real culture, local life, its picturesque villages and landscape. This way people will not only experience India in its purest form, but they will easily understand and discover what is behind the beautiful monuments and temples and not just 'see' them.

I think monuments are good opportunities to appreciate the art and to know the history but according to me, the Indian way of life and its local villages and people are also good opportunities to know the culture and country.
