4 Days
Khajuraho
On the banks of the River Ken in Madhya Pradesh, eight tasteful rooms sit quietly cocooned within grassland and forest. This Absolute Air experience takes you to an intimate property spread across acres of beautiful countryside, primed for relaxing river explorations and wilderness walks. The Sarai at Toria is run by conservationists, and their earth-friendly approach translates into rustic-chic cottages, delicious organic meals, and a plethora of nature-based activities. On this 4-day private jet holiday, you’ll stay in charming mud-and-stone rooms built in the traditional architectural style, where you wake to birdsong and wind down under a sky full of stars
The Sarai is located in the vicinity of two fabulous sites: Khajuraho and the Panna National Park. With its fabled 1000-year-old sandstone temples, Khajuraho is an immensely important heritage site. Explore the complex on a guided tour to understand the stories behind the famously erotic carvings that adorn the temple facades. In sharp contrast, the Panna National Park is a rather underrated wildlife hotspot, filled with large cats, small critters, and raptors. A jeep safari through this wilderness introduces you to the myriad hues of Central India’s jungles, home to tigers, leopards, sloth bear, and a wealth of wildlife.
Set in a deep granite canyon, these towering waterfalls are an awe-inspiring sight in the monsoon, when the water thunders down in a nearly 100-foot drop. In other seasons, the water recedes to reveal pink and grey-hued rocks dating back centuries.
The medieval temples of Khajuraho are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, fabulously preserved even after a 1000 years of their construction. Visit the elaborate temple complex for a healthy dose of Indian heritage, and take in the magnificent spires and intricate erotic carvings.
This dense teak forest is one of India’s prime tiger reserves. Explore this Central Indian wilderness on a jeep safari, where trained naturalists will introduce you to the forests many denizens, including large cats and deer, sloth bear and raptors.
Watch the sun lower over the countryside as you glide along the Ken River in a row boat. The tranquil scene is punctuated only by bird calls, and you’ll see owls, storks and kingfishers as dusk settles.
Many factors determine what sort of aircraft is best suited to your needs. The number of passengers, luggage needs, and distance to be travelled all play a role in choosing the right jet.
