About this experience

This breathtaking waterfall is just 22 kilometers from temples of Khajuraho. This beautiful water fall is situated on the Ken River & This is about 30 meters deep canyon formed with pure crystalline granite in different colors like pink, green, misty white, and red to grey. The most fascinating thing about this place is that, there is dozens of small and big falls in regular stretches, some of them are seasonal having furious water flow during rainy season.

Also visit Erotic temple of khajuraho, Erotica abounds here with around 20 temples, many featuring sexuality and sex. These sandstone temples date back to the 10th century and are a UNESCO World Heritage site. However, in reality, the temples are not nearly as limited to erotica as you may expect (it actually only makes up approximately 10% of the multitude of carvings on them).
