You will be picked-up by your guide at your hotel lobby in Khajuraho at 9 am for morning departure, or 3 pm for afternoon departure. Your guide will walk with you to the Western group of temples and will explain each temple in detail.
On this private 4-hour tour you will discover the Kamasutra temples of Khajuraho at your own pace. A UNESCO world heritage site in central India, Khajuraho is a famous tourist and archaeological site known for its sculptured temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and Jain patriarchs. Khajuraho was one of the capitals of the Chandela kings.
Of the 85 original temples, most constructed of hard river sandstone, about 20 are still reasonably well preserved. Both internally and externally the temples are richly carved with excellent sculptures that are frequently sensual and, at times, explicit. The temples are divided into three complexes-the western is the largest and best known. After the tour, you will be returned to your hotel.
