Planning Guide

Accommodation

Khajuraho offers a range of accommodations, from luxury hotels with modern amenities to budget guesthouses and homestays, mostly clustered near the temple complex. For convenience, stay within walking distance of the Western Group of Temples, where many hotels provide easy access to the main sites and evening light shows.

Tips

• Visit between October and March when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring the temples.
• Purchase a combined ticket for the Western Group of Temples, which also covers the archaeological museum.
• Hire a certified guide to fully appreciate the symbolism and stories behind the sculptures, especially the erotic carvings.
• Attend the evening light and sound show at the Western Group, which brings the history of the temples to life.
• Respect the sanctity of the sites: some temples are active places of worship, so dress modestly and avoid touching the sculptures.
• Carry water, wear comfortable walking shoes, and use sunscreen, as the temple complex involves extensive walking in open areas.
