Discover the bewitching beauty of historic archeological site lying in the ‘City of Moon’ – Khajuraho. The city is famous for ancient Hindus and Jain temples reflecting classic Nagar style architecture. Delve in the exemplary structures embodied with rich art, which depict spirituality, royalty and sensual sculptures. Chand dynasty built this group of 85 temples during 950 - 1050 AD. Unfortunately only 20 remain today and are declared UNESCO World Heritage sites. The works are invariably imbued with a sense of calm and serenity making your visit a memorable one.
Start with the Eastern group that is best known for Parsvanath Temple, Ghantai Temple and Adinath Temple. These are Jain temples dedicated to Tirthankaras; Parsvanath is the largest of this type. Admire the intricate motifs and immaculate sculptures that depict the scenes from the daily life of Chandela rulers.
The Western group is considered to be the main highlight of the temple complex. It gives you an overview of the Indo-Aryan architecture. Make your way to its most visited temples: Kendriya Mahadeva, Devi Jagdamba Temple and Chaunsat Yogini Temple. It is a phenomenal example of elaborately decorated temples. The walls adorned with fine carvings, erotic sculptures, animals and human figures takes art to a whole new level.
The Southern group of temples in Khajuraho lies at a comparatively distant location from the other groups. It consists of Duladeo temple, Chaturbhuj temple and Beejamandal temple. The most popular among tourists is Duladeo temple in the southern group. Chaturbhuj temple is the only temple in Khajuraho that distinctively does not contain any sensual sculpture.
Listen to the melody of nature in this spellbinding natural waterfall located on Ken River. It is located nearly 20 km away from Khajuraho. The sight of water falling from a towering height of 30 m represents the phenomenal creativity of nature. Apart from gushing water, another striking feature is the queer shape of rocks resembling crystal top formations.
Another wonder of nature that you will find in Khajuraho is Pandav Falls. Located 35 km away from the main city, it can be found on the tributary of Ken River. The name is derived from the legendary Pandava brothers mention in the Sanskrit epic of ancient India, Mahabharata. Lose yourself in its freshness and clean water that is also known to carry medicinal properties.
By Air- Khajuraho Civil Aerodrome serves the city with flights to cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Varanasi and Indore. It is located about 2 km from the town centre.
By Rail- It has uninterrupted rail connectivity that is handled by Khajuraho Railway Station, located 5 km away. Regular trains are offered to Delhi, Varanasi, Mumbai and Kolkata.
By Road- The best possible route to reach Khajuraho is via transit in Jhansi. It shares road connectivity with cities like Jhansi, Orchha, Bandhavgarh and Chattarpur. You can hire a taxi from any of these places to reach the city.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !
I just came back from a 12 days Rajasthan tour. It was just myself and my 14 year olde daughter. I found Caper surfing the web and had non suggestion from friends and had never read comments or reviews about it. Totally "blind-choice". I was very lucky. The organization was really excellent. The agent that followed us, Mr. Praveen Juyal did a great job. I decided our itinerary and he punctually gave me suggestions on the best management of my choices. The hotel choice was fine and confirmed expectations. We had tour guides in every site seeing location and they were all extremely professional, very punctual and really kind and polite.
But I must say that what made the trip even better was our driver; Mr. Deshraj.
One of those persons that you really wish you could meet once in your life. Not only an excellent driver but always helpful, respectful and friendly. He explained us many things about Indian life along the journey and sometimes stopped for short breaks in beautiful places on the road that were not even mentioned in the guide books. My only regret is that at the end of the trip I didn't have much money left and I left a tip probably not adeguate for the kind of service but I will definitely send him try to sort this maybe in a next trip. Thank you very much Caper and Deshraj.

A Memorable Trip
We recently concluded a 12 day driving tour of New Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan with Caper Travel. It was most enjoyable !! The logistics arrangements were excellent - from tour planning , hotel selection , vehicle condition to driver. Mr Alok handled the planning, and Mr Vikram was our Tempo driver throughout the journey. Mr Vikram was very helpful , accommodating and patient throughout the tour, despite long hours of driving on the roads ( not to mention India traffic}. We would not hesitate to recommend Caper to our fellow travellers who are thinking of visiting India. Thank You Caper !

Golden triangle goa and mumbia
Just come back from an amazing 2 week trip to India. First we done the golden triangle which we chose to do the train trip from Delhi to Agra a must you have to do if not just for the experience. All the cities were wonderful but be prepared to see lots of temple one seems to run into another but wow the taj was my highlight along with the Hindu temple in Delhi. The driving the cows the dogs are everywhere are all an experience. Goa was beautiful we stayed at the taj exotica. In mumbia we done a city tour and ended our trip in the taj for afternoon tea another must. It is a exhilarating trip but one I will never forget. From booking with Manika to all the drivers and guides they were always there to meet us from the airport and hotels on time. They really looked after us thank you all.

Wonderful trip
We have just returned from our first trip to India and we must say it was absolutely fascinating. The itinerary was first class and covered everything we could have wished for. On arrival we were met by a very nice rep and driver who took us to our hotel and sorted out the necessary paperwork with us. We had our driver Vishan for our time in the north and he was terrific, kept the vehicle spotless and kept us supplied with water. We then flew to the south of India and met up with our driver Suhdeer who again was very nice and very informative about things as we drove along. The guides we had on all our trips were excellent and again very informative.
The only down side to it all was that in our package we paid for the drivers accommodation, food and allowance only to find out that the drivers don’t receive this money and if they want accommodation they have to pay for it themselves. We ended up paying one of our drivers an amount for the nights that we had him for him to get somewhere to sleep and food as we were concerned that if he slept in his car he wouldn’t be rested enough to take on the next day driving for 4-5 hours.
All in all Caper Travel are excellent in their planning and can’t fault them for that.

Caper travel
Recently traveled to India on a private guided tour with Caper Travel. Ms. Mumtaz Khan worked with me on arranging my itinerary.
She was always available to answer all my concerns immediately. On my arrival in Delhi I was welcome with warm smile at the airport by a young gentleman name Kapol Joshi . My experience with the company was amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone traveling to India.
I would also like to mention the personal attention I received at Amritsar by Aman Shara and his lovely wife who welcomed me and my son to their home
and soon to open their beautiful hotel.
