All through my stay there though all I could think was bless that damn air conditioning in my room and the little pool outside the back of the hotel. I for one however continued to stayed in my tried and tested OYO room at the rather affordable price of Rs. The place has a chain of five star facilities here from The Radisson, The Lalit Temple View and the Ramada are all here to cater to this demand. This is middle India at it’s best and it is a hugely popular tourist center and I bumped in Koreans, Americans, Spanish and even Mexican tourists here. Only about 20 temples survive today in a 6 sq km area of which the Kandariya Mahadeva Temple is the largest and most exotic, perhaps explicit even! The original temple complex built between 9 by the Chandela dynasty and said to have constituted 85 temples in a 20 sq km area. The main attraction is the eponymous temple complex. Khajuraho is a small village surrounded by dense jungle and a verdant forest area. The journey plan was to see Varanasi, Khajuraho and Puri.
After Bangalore I had really wanted to shake things up a bit and travel the middle country – deep inside India.
