Khajuraho Tour Packages: Temple Tours, Panna Safaris and Central India Heritage

Our Khajuraho tour packages take you to the finest temple art in India. The Khajuraho Group of Monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Madhya Pradesh, was built by the Chandela kings about a thousand years ago, and its sandstone temples are covered with carvings of gods, dancers, musicians and daily life. Join a Khajuraho temple tour with a private guide, add a tiger safari in Panna National Park, or combine Khajuraho with Varanasi, Orchha, Agra and the Taj Mahal. Every tour is private, with your own car, driver and licensed guide.

Shamrock Journeys is a trusted India tour operator. Since 2002 we have planned private heritage, temple and wildlife tours of Central India for families, couples and groups.
