sandravdp Says: Visit the school at the old village. When I was walking by the teacher noticed me and asked me to take a look. He showed me all the children and told me how he teached them. The school was very small and there weren't many books, so my boyfriend and me gave an official...

sandravdp Says: On the national highway (it looks more like a small countryroad)to Kajuraho is a nice terrace where you can have a good lunch. The terrace is hidden behind the papaya trees. Sandwhich and cold mangojuice.

sandravdp Says: Nightlife, well, every evening at 7 pm there is a Shiva ceremony in the Mtangesvara Temple. This temple is next to the main temple complex in the village of Kajuraho.

mitsi900 Says: Again, not a 'Nightlife' spot (haha!!)Light & Sound Show, Red Fort, AgraIt is a crash course in the History of the Mughals!!But above all, it is a wonderful experience. They narrate the story of the Mughals right from Babar who defeated Ibrahim Lodi to become Emperor to...
sandravdp Says: When it's your first time cycling here, keep in mind, that people drive on the left side of the road. Always be ware of the bumps, holes and rocks on the road. All other traffic goes first, so if a truck comes by you'll have to wait at the utter left side of the road.
sandravdp Says: By bike. You can rent a bike for 1 dollar a day. The bikes are in a good condition. Do lock your bike when you make a stop at the temples.

mitsi900 Says: AGRA - Drive from Delhi... it will take you 3 hoursAGRA - if you've come in your own vehicle, try to stay away from the crowded areas in the city... the trafiic is BAD!!!! Stay on the near your hotel which will most probably be near the Taj Mahal & Red Fort anyway.If you're...

sandravdp Says: Wear long sleaves, trousers/a dress. Slippers are handy to wear here to, because there are many temples and if you want to go inside, you have to take off your shoes. Slippers are handy taking off :)
Again: the water. You can't...
sandravdp Says: Again: the water. You can't drink tabwater here. Drink mineral water from sealed bottles. The brands Yes!, Bisleri and Evian are good.
sandravdp Says: Some guys are waiting to accompany you on your tour to the village. It's hard but try to avoid them. They first seem friendly, but after guiding you they want to show you all the shops of their whole family. They push you to buy things you don't want to and ask you for money...
sandravdp Says: Backpack! good walking shoes for long walks and slippers. anti-mosquito net/cream/spray, suncream. Film is here, check the expire dates and don't buy film that lays in the sun.
sandravdp Says: Don't just only visit the touristic part of the village. Go and see the old village too. The people here are less pushing and more friendly. They love to show you around.
When you're in the village try...
sandravdp Says: When you're in the village try and visit a teastore. You can taste all brands you like, before deciding to buy. I took home masalatea, I like it very much.
sandravdp Says: Welcome in Kajuraho! Main things to see here are: 1) Western group of temples, the biggest temple complex in the village, you can't miss it.2) Eastern temples at the old village.3) Two Southern temples, turn left after the river.On the picture: a plate with historic...
