Madya Pradesh is a massive province in India, not particularly known for many tourist attractions, with exceptions such as Khajuraho and Orchha. Bill was in India for a couple weeks for work and Louise and I decided to take him on a quick weekend trip to MP. Khajuraho is known for its erotic temples, Orchha for its beautiful temples and architecture and location along the Betwa River.We took the train from Delhi on Friday after work and stayed at a less than spectacular Jhansi Hotel - it was listed as a "splurge" in one of my guides, but our room had no windows, AC made the room smell like gasoline, our water heater started to leak on the toilet, and the garden turned out to be a piece of grass. All in all, it wasn't so bad and made for lots of laughs.
The next day we left for Khajuraho to see the temples, but not before some Dosa and other snacks from the Madras Cafe - yum. We toured the temples for a couple hours and even had dinner in a treehouse watching the sound and light show. On our drive back we encoutered the heaviest monsoon I've experienced - visibility must have been two feet. In a few hours we were back in Orchha and arrived at our hotel, Sheesh Mahal. It was truly a palace and one of the best finds in India in my opinion.
The next day we explored Orchha, devoid of tourists, wandered through wedding processions, and got caught once again in heavy downpours. We boarded the trusty Shatabdi Express back to Delhi and before we knew it were back home. Orchha is a gorgeous place, and the neighboring Khajuraho blends sexuality with religion in some of the region's oldest temples.

Well it is mostly renowed for the erotic sculptures but apart from these there are many things which are interested like water falls, rivers, forest area,Hotels and much more.
