At your selected morning or afternoon departure time, you will be picked up by your personal guide from your hotel. On this tour, 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, who from the 9th to the 11th century CE developed a large realm, which at its height included almost all of what is now Madhya Pradesh state. The temples are divided into three complexes-the western is the largest and best known, containing the magnificent Shaivite temple KandariyaMahadev, a 31m high agglomeration of porches and turrets culminating in a spire. Out 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, sexually explicit. Modern Khajuraho is a small village, serving the tourist trade with hotels and an airport. Khajuraho's name derives from the prevalence of khajur, or date palms, in the area. After your tour, you can opt to enjoy lunch or dinner (at own expense) or get dropped back off at your hotel. You can also choose to be dropped off at the airport or the railway station.
