Khajuraho & Orchha: Temple Art and Forgotten Palaces
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
The UNESCO temples of Khajuraho are a thousand years of Chandela artistry in stone — intricate, expressive and unlike anything else in India.
Khajuraho
The Western Group is the showpiece; the quieter Eastern and Southern temples reward a slower look, with the Raneh Falls canyon nearby.
Orchha
A short drive away, this riverside town is a time capsule of Bundela forts, palaces and cenotaphs — beautifully uncrowded. Best October to March.
