Accompanied by a guide explore the famous Western and Eastern temple complex of Khajuraho. Temples of Khajuraho are widely known for their exquisite architecture and erotic sculptures. The Khajuraho temples, are recognized as a UNESCO world heritage site, and they were built in 950 – 1050 AD

The highlights of this tour include the Kandariya Mahadev Temple as this is the tallest of the temples, not only in the western group but in the entire collection. It is believed to have been built around 1025 AD in honor of Lord Shiva. This 30-metre-high structure features erotic carvings and your guide will explain various theories as to the significance of these. Another famous temple visited on this tour is the Lakshmana Temple which is among the most famous on account of its erotic sculpture collection.

After seeing the Western group continues your sightseeing by visiting the Eastern Group. This group consists of four temples that are scattered around the village. Amongst the four Temples visited take note of inscription on the statue of the Monkey God that dates The Hanuman Temple to 922 AD.
