Khajuraho
The Khajuraho area, known for its simple sexual wall carvings, has many other beautiful temples. Of the eighty-five, only twenty-two are now in reasonably good condition, and Khajuraho now bears the UNESCO World Heritage seal. The temples date back to 950 - 1050 AD
As you approach the famous city, you are surrounded by "guides" who promise to show you all that Khajuraho has to offer. But very few of them could enter the western group of temples, where all the noble temples are located. They will only guide you through the many eastern, southern and Jain temples. So, if you are thinking of hiring a consultant, keep this in mind.
