A very sexy place

From Varanassi, we skipped across to Khajuraho and then Orchha.

Khajuraho was a small rural town, lucky enough to be the home of the 600 year old Karma Sutra Temples - made for amazing viewing. We'll let the pictures do the talking.

We also hired bicycles for the day and hired an 11 year old tour guide to show us around. We got a tour of the temples outside of town, as well as the local schools and orphanages.

Orchha was also a small, country town that has an a group of amazing Moghul (Arabic) palaces. The ruins were practically deserted, and we spent a few days rambling around the ancient sites on our own (apart from the odd Indian family squatting in the ruins).

Karma Sutra temples. Not only were the temples amazing, but the park setting was beautiful too.

From there we continued west.
