Ranked among the top 3 of Lonely Planet's must sees of India are the Western Group of Temples (Hindu with an emphasis on Kama Sutra) in Khajuraho. The East and West views (following the path of the sun) were typical, but the North and South sides were very explicit. The temples were definitely an interesting sight to see, and so was the merchandise being sold, but that's another story.
What I really enjoyed about Khajuraho was the bike ride through the streets of the smaller villages that led us to the South, East, and West Temples. Nice bit fresh air and sun, and for a moment some calm from the relentless sales pitches of rickshaw drivers, hotels offering rooms, and the masses of merchandise. I could finally hear my own thoughts without getting interrupted. It was really really nice. But I guess the pestering comes with the territory for going to such a tourist city.
