Tribal Areas

Khajuraho is a world famous site known for its magnificently sculptured group of temples. These Hindu and Jain monuments were built by the Chandela Dynasty between 950 AD and 1050 AD.
The exquisitely carved and embellished temples are simply stunning.Out of the 85 temples believed to have been built across 21 square Kms, only 22 temples are remain in a 6 square Km area. However, those that left are well preserved, mainly as they are so remote.
The Khajuraho temples, now a UNESCO world heritage site, were rediscovered within dense forest in 1838 by Captain T.S. Burt.of the Bengal Engineers.

Highlights

People

Take a local village excursion and meet some of the warm, friendly tribal people – they will be delighted to see you. Many request that you take their photo, as was the case with this young lady.

Farming

We saw large amounts of corn (or maze) being grown and dried in the sun. Farming traditions haven’t changed in centuries in this part of India.

We encountered many examples of art from the Gond tribe. These people believe that we have a connection with the earth and all the animals and plants. Much of their art depicts this with physical connections betwwen humans, trees and animals.
