Khajuraho

Not at all. The erotic sculptures make up less than 10% of the carvings and are mostly on the outer walls of specific temples. The rest is pure architectural brilliance. It's a very common family destination.

2 days are plenty. Day 1 for the Western and Eastern group of temples, and Day 2 for Panna National Park or Raneh Falls.

For the Western Group, yes. Without an ASI-approved guide, you're just looking at old stones. A good guide will explain the history, architecture, and symbolism. You can skip the guide for the Eastern and Southern groups.

Absolutely. It's only 45 minutes away. Even if you don't spot a tiger, the forest is beautiful, and you'll see leopards, ghariyals, and tons of deer.

Yes! Renting a bicycle is actually the best way to explore the Eastern and Southern temple groups. It costs about ₹100-150 a day.

Yes, it is generally very safe. The town relies heavily on tourism. However, touts can be annoying, so a firm 'no' is required. Avoid wandering in isolated areas after dark.

Yes, the Vande Bharat Express now connects Delhi to Khajuraho, making it a super easy weekend trip. The Kurj Nizamuddin Express is another good overnight option.

The Western Group is the main event (Kandariya Mahadeva, Lakshmana Temple). It requires a ticket. The Eastern (Jain temples) and Southern groups are smaller, scattered, and free to enter.
