Khajuraho

After Allahabad we went by train to Satna, where we took a slow bus to Khajuraho. This place is very famous for the temples built between the years 950 and 1080. These temples have a lot of figures and many of them show erotical scenes.

The western temple group is the main one and all temples are in a nice garden. The style of the temples is always the same, in and outside.


Fredi had also fun, visiting some nice places and meet some strange animals.


A small but nice market was held on our 2nd day, they had a lot of vegetables, rice, spices, etc.


In total we stayed 3 days in Khajuraho, on our last one we went on a trip to the Ken River Gharial Sanctuary. Well, the main reason to go there was to see a crocodile or gharial, there should live more than 80 of them. Unfortunately we had once more bad luck and couldn't see any of them in the river, however at least we saw a Sambar, a deer and something like a wild dog (here they call them jackal). The landscape of a long canyon and a waterfall is really nice and it's hard to believe, that during monsoon time there isn't any waterfall nor other rocks visible, the whole area is full of water!!
