Khajuraho Warnings Or Dangers Tips by keeweechic Top 5 Page for this destination

Touts

When my group went to visit the temples in the morning, we were overwhelmed by touts an souvenir sellers. It was so annoying and off-putting. One little old lady (even shorter than I ) hounded me with a lei of flowers and was forcefully trying to put this thing over my head. I was trying not to be rude, but her persistence was amazing and in the end I whipped the lei off and put it on a passing pillar. Later that afternoon when I returned on my own, I was left totally alone, there was no repeat of all that had gone on in the morning.

Scams

Since visiting Khajuraho I have heard warnings about being taken into a school there and eventually encouraged to give a donation. While a school was pointed out to me (I believe the old bank building) my young guide never tried to encourage me inside and really only told me it was a school when I asked. I leave this warning only that you should be aware but not too overcautious.
