Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Start early. The Khajuraho temples are lit best in the morning and the heat builds up by noon in summer. Early visits are calmer and cooler.
- Dress modestly at Ram Raja Temple. Orchha has active temples. Wear simple, modest clothes and keep shoes outside.
- Check closing days. Some monuments and shows have weekly off days or timing changes. Our team confirms them before you travel.
- Carry water and a cap. Sightseeing is on open ground with little shade. Wear comfortable shoes for walking.
- Plan the evening show. The sound and light show at Khajuraho runs at a fixed time in the evening and language and timing can change. Ask us before booking.
- Ask about the dance festival. The Khajuraho Dance Festival is usually held in February. Hotels fill up, so book early if you want to attend.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
