Khajuraho

Stone carving with an extraordinary human eye

About Khajuraho

Khajuraho’s Chandela temples reward close looking: figures of deities, dancers and everyday life carved across sandstone walls. A thoughtful guide gives the sculpture its religious and architectural context, beyond the few images for which the temples are most often known. The Spiritual Thread allows two nights here, making space for the principal temple groups and a quieter afternoon at your proposed palace stay.

Best time to visit: October to March for comfortable temple visits. Early mornings offer gentler light and cooler walking.

Worth arranging

  • The western temple group with an informed guide
  • A closer look at Chandela sculpture and architecture
  • Time for the eastern temples without rushing
