Itinerary
We will meet at the main entrance of Western group of temple and will most likely start our day with some positive thoughts, good vibes and then we will begin our special experience to explore the town visiting Matangeswara Mahadev temple one of the active temple of town dedicated to Lord Shiva
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.

After the visit of Western group of temple will be going to visit Adinath temple a beautiful Jain temple, here we will explore the Jain religious sites The main temples here are: Adinath temple, Shantinath temple, 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.

Rishi, our personal guide is a knowledgeable, unblemished . He explained us regarding each temple, its art and its history. I was very impressed about his knowledge. I do highly recommend him for the guide.
My guide was Ankit, amazing his command of English and Spanish to give me the tour, with a lot of information about the temples, culture and always with a right answer for everything you asked, very friendly and a good deal, even fulfilled a request that I found very difficult to realize but knew how to handle it perfectly. A 10/10
We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Shupla. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the temples and Hinduism. He provided many interesting anecdotes and also clearly has a deep appreciation for the artwork of these ancient sites. Highly recommend this tour!
Rohit saini name us a review of the day dear ji ko leke aana hai na ji ki dva karane ke liye ye upay karen upay karen upay karen upay karen upay karen
Had a great day touring with Ankit Chandel. He is like talking to a long time friend, yet very knowledgable about the stories behind the temples. He would go the extra mile to make sure I had no issue checking in with the hotel. And I absolutely recommend getting a tour guide for the tour, as many stories and hidden details could only be better appreciated with a great guide. I enjoyed his tour so much that I also booked a second tour with him to see the tiger reserve.
Our guide Ankit was really nice, available to accommodate to our schedule and very prepared. He provided lot of details and we had a great experience. Very recommended!
I really enjoyed this tour and was so lucky to do it with Rishi . It was so interesting to get all the informations, détails about the temples themselves as monuments, the way they were build, when and why, but he also knows how to share his knowledge and understanding on human faith, the roots of budhism, jainist, tantra, hindus, …and clearly explained the différences and believes….so interesting ! The « plus » was the old town tour, discovering the little streets, colourful houses, and listening the stories and way of living in this area where he grew up with his Family. I highly recommend him ! Gislen
This was a truly amazing tour. Ankit blew us away with his mastery of the stories and his knowledge behind all of the carvings around Khajuraho. It is a really beautiful place off the beaten track that I thoroughly recommend getting a guide for to bring the place to life even more.
I wanted to give this tour 5 stars because the beginning of it was great. We learned so much about the history of the temples and about different religions of the country. Khajuraho had always been on my bucket list and the visit to the temples did not disappoint. However, although we had paid for a tour guide, he continued to leave us throughout the tour with other people who would walk along side us, take pictures and expect a tip afterwards. Further along in the tour, as we walked through the village, we were continuing to stop and interact with people. After each encounter, our guide kept pushing me to give tip money. By that point I only had enough cash to tip the driver and guide. When I refused to, our guide actually scolded me. It nearly ruined the entire experience. Please stop pressuring tourist to hand out money.
The place is very nice ..has cultural heritage.. social relevance.. spritual and emotional value..the physical and sexual guidance..nice ambience..well kept..manicred lawns.. really worth visiting
