Sexy Times
Love is still in the air, so Jet Airways has prepared an educational package to give out some pointers to lovers. The Khajuraho Temples Of Love Tour takes you to a UNESCO world heritage site in central India that offers up one of the most explicit depictions of the Kama Sutra, the art of love. While there, you’ll learn that these very different temples (built by the founder of the Chandela dynasty [10-11th Century]) are not for worshiping deities or religion; the sculptures are said to be a revelation of all the treasures of passion and erotic fantasy. The sensual and informative package consists of 6D/5N accommodation, flights and a tour that not only visits the temples of love (which are located in Madhya Pradesh), but also takes in Delhi and the holy city of Varanasi as well, all starting from $1,448 per person twin. Sharing this is not only a great way to learn about ancient history but it’s also a great way to get you in the mood for some good old-fashioned romance.
