The Erotic Temples of Khajuraho | Van Life India | The Hippie Trail #52

Time to hit some less travelled roads this week as we visit the erotic temples of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh!
Located a considerable distance from other attractions in India, these temples are less visited.
This means that we can take our time and enjoy the incredible details in the many temples!
We take time to visit the many temples and enjoy the tranquillity of this fascinating village before heading to the hustle and bustle of Varanasi.
But Varanasi? That's for next week!
Enjoy this one and... be kind, always!

Who are we?
We’re An and Yves, a Belgian couple who share a passion for travel en adventure.
Over the years we took a couple of gap years on different occasions and right now we're travelling the hippie trail, which started on January 1 2023!
As said this is not our first travel experience but three years ago we started sharing our stories on TH-cam and Instagram. There has to be a first time for everything!
Our goal is to inspire you to follow your passion (big or small) and to see and experience the world with your own eyes.
By sharing our stories we hope we can inspire one another on their own journeys.

There used to be much bigger temples everywhere in north India but were destroyed for being “shirk.” Hence why these were abandoned and thankfully reclaimed by nature quick enough to escape destruction.

[@hiicyuivbi]

Now we are reclaiming it

[@AFlaneursQuest]

[@daolaogui]

10 jaar geleden was het al één en al bureaucratisch gedoe daar in Khajuraho. Ben toen gewoon ergens over een hek gesprongen. :)

[@AFlaneursQuest]

Tja, Indiërs houden van papierwerk, zal nooit veranderen vrees ik...

[@neerajsharma-ls9vk]

This historical places should be developed by Govt to boost tourism and jobs. But what temples❤

[@AFlaneursQuest]

There's a, free, temple next door that is frequented by loads of pilgrims.
Thank you for watching!

[@neerajsharma-ls9vk]

[@AFlaneursQuest]

You're correct, it's a luxury to have this facility with us!

[@ash9x9]

Great Content - But why are these beautiful temple sculptures defaced and / or vandalized?

[@nikshithgowda4120]

These sculptures are defaced by the British empire and also the Mughal empire who colonised India for more than 300 years and looted all the wealth and took it to England.

Khajuraho episode need extra video for detail information of beautiful carved stones.
Its rare to. See foreign travelers visiting khajuraho .even we south Indians don't know where exactly khajuraho is located.

[@AFlaneursQuest]

I we woud show detailed carvings, I'm afraid we would get banned from TH-cam ;)!
Thanks for watching!

[@balboacottage6541]

Do you guys ever fight while traveling?😄

[@SPmis]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AFlaneursQuest]

Not really... when we're both tired we can start nagging, but I don't consider this as fighting!
Thank you for watching!
