Attracting pilgrims and tourists from the world over, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh (in Central India) constitute the geographic heart of India. Explore Delhi as it's your first destination in India to visit. Delhi bears the complexities and contradictions, the beauty and dynamism of a city where the past coexists with the present. Visit Khajuraho, famous for its ancient sandstone temples and their highly erotic sculptures. Go on wildlife safaris in Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Parks, following the trails of the tigers and watching other wild animals in their natural habitat. Often described as India's finest game sanctuary and a model for wildlife conservation, Kanha's magnificent landscape combines grassy meadows and flat-topped hills with meandering streams and lush deciduous forests. The setting for Rudyard Kipling's famous 'Jungle Book', Kanha today is an important Tiger Reserve. Also visit Kawardha, a small town that lies in the Gond and Baiga tribal belt, famous for its natural beauty and the Bhoramdeo temple (which is also known by the sobriquet, "the Khajuraho of Chhattisgarh")

Most of India is at its best from October to March, when the monsoon has cleared and the days are dry and warm. April to June is hot across the plains but ideal for the Himalaya, and the south-west monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, deep green landscapes and the lowest prices of the year.
