The intricate carvings of the exquisite 1,000 year old temples of Khajuraho celebrate Hindu legends, epic battles and the Kama Sutra.
Day 9 Panna National Park
Head deep into the park in search of the elusive tiger, spending the night in natural hut-style accommodation by the banks of the Ken River.
Day 10 Chitrakoot
Sprawling along the banks of the Mandakini River, Chitrakoot's temples, bazaars, and bathing ghats are awash with pilgrims. Witness rituals and traditions taking place as they have done for hundreds of years.

East of Allahabad is where the rivers Yamuna, Ganges and the mythical Saraswati meet. In town, call into the Anand Bhawan Museum, the boyhood home of the first prime minister of independent India.
