Oberoi Rajgarh Palace

Oberoi Rajgarh Palace Khajuraho Most travelers’ first trips to India encompass the “golden triangle” of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. With the arrival in Khajuraho of the Oberoi—in a crenelated 350-year-old fort cum royal residence—the city’s complex of 25 medieval Hindu temples, with their thousands of high-relief figures, has become a must. Also close by is Panna National Park, which has a thriving tiger reserve. If you’re not rewarded with a sighting of one of the elusive beasts, the hotel itself is consolation enough: interiors that retain the magnificence of their history; two restaurants; two pools; daily yoga and meditation; and a tent spa on the palace’s natural lake, to which you’ll be conveyed by boat, ­maharaja-style.
