Itinerary
- 1After morning pickup from your hotel lobby in Khajuraho, you'll drive a distance of roughly 130 Kms to Kalinjar via hills of Panna in the comfort of a private vehicle driven by personal chauffeur. The fortress is strategically located on an isolated rocky hill at the end the Vindhya Range, at an elevation of 1,203 feet (367 m) and overlooks the plains of Bundelkhand. It served several of Bundelkhand's ruling dynasties, including the Chandela dynasty of Rajputs in the 10th century, and the Solankies of Rewa. The fortress contains several temples dating as far back as the Gupta dynasty of the 3rd-5th centuries CE. Kalinjar means The destroyer of time in Sanskrit. 'Kal' is time and 'jar' destruction. Legend says that after manthan (the mythological churning of the ocean), Hindu God, Lord Shiva, drank the poison and his throat became blue (hence the name Neel (blue) Kantha (throat)) and he came to Kalinjar and overcome the 'Kal' i.e. he achieved victory over death. This is the reason the Shiva temple at Kalinjar is called Neelkanth. Since then, the hill has been considered a holy site, casting its shadow across the patches of grasslands as well as the densely forested valley. The natural splendor of the surroundings makes it an ideal place for penance and meditation and, surprisingly, a strange mystique still pervades all over the hill. The Fort is a symbol of cultural and religious glory. This panorama of Kalinjar is marked by the famous temple of ageless Neelkantha, the tallest ‘Kala Bhairava’ image and number of high class sculptures in and around, and artistic friezes strewn throughout the length and breadth of the site and ranging from the Gupta period of the time of Chadellas. Yours personal guide would be delighted to suggest you the place for lunch, available out of very limited options. Also enjoy the lovely country landscape of central India and make few photo stops for panoramic clicks if time permits while on drive. Return back to hotel lobby in Khajuraho with happy memories.

- Kapil M0 contributionsKhajuraho is a wonder not to be missed. The temples show the bold and the beautiful aspect of culture and history. An architectuKhajuraho is a wonderful experience. The temples are so dramatic and bold , and at the same time so serene and divine. Our guide Mr Ghanshyam did a great job in showing us around and explaining everything eloquently.

- byrahulsharma0 contributionsMust visit for a history buffExcellent architecture. Clean city , nice hotels and easy transportation . I suggest all of you reading this review to hire a guide for a more detailed informationWritten December 10, 2024
- sampatp20160 contributionsProhibitively over charges without any additional facilityThe guide was perfect but the amount charge was prohibitively excessive. The same tour costs max 7,000 rupees for which I was charged 16,600 rupees. This is three times the normal price without anything extra. I would highly advise potential tourirts to stay away from this group. Sampat Poddar CanadaWritten December 4, 2024
