Khajuraho

The Khajuraho temples stand on high masonry platforms, with vertical projections creating a graceful, light effect resembling Himalayan peaks. The roofs of the temple compartments vary in height, with the tallest in the center, simulating rising peaks.

Chitrakoot (Satna)

Chitrakoot’s religious activities evolve throughout the day, with vibrant rituals at Ramghat and evening ‘arti.’ The city, known for its temples like Vyankatesh, Hanuman Mandir, and Maa Sharda Mandir, is significant due to the Ramvan temple, 15 km away on the Rewa highway.

Bandhavgarh (Shahdol)

Covering 448 sq. km., Bandhavgarh, in the Vindhya range, features mixed deciduous forests and Sal forests. It’s a sanctuary for tigers and other wildlife, with sightings of the Indian Bison, Sambar, Barking Deer, and Nilgai in its meadows.

Pachmarhi

Pachmarhi, named after the five Pandava caves, has historical rock paintings and caves. While local tradition links it to the Pandavas, archaeologists believe these Buddhist caves connect Sanchi and Ajanta.

Panna National Park

Located 57 km from Khajuraho, Panna National Park is famous for its tigers and wildlife. Known for its diamond industry, it offers a tropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. It’s a popular stopover due to its proximity to Khajuraho.
