Check into your pre-booked hotel. We recommend a hotel near the Western Group of Temples for easy access. Settle in and relax before starting your exploration.

Enjoy a relaxing lunch at this popular cafe known for its multi-cuisine menu and stunning views of the Western Group of Temples. It's a great spot to ease into the atmosphere of Khajuraho.

Take an early morning trip to Raneh Falls, a spectacular 30-meter deep canyon carved by the Ken River through pure crystalline granite of varying shades. The post-monsoon season is the best time to visit. Nearby is the Ken Gharial Sanctuary, where you can spot the critically endangered gharial (fish-eating crocodile).

After returning to Khajuraho, have an authentic and simple vegetarian thali lunch. This local eatery offers a taste of home-cooked Bundelkhandi and Marwari food at very reasonable prices.

Visit the ASI museum, which houses a fine collection of sculptures and architectural fragments from the Khajuraho temples that have fallen or been damaged. It provides an up-close look at the incredible craftsmanship.
