Temple overload

---

Hi All,

After Varanasi i headed to the relaxed little village of Orcha, to visit the temples. The place was really calm, set in a beautifull landscape with lots of birds of all kinds. You could see flocks of green parrots flying around the temples and there were even vultures there. Even though the temples were stunning, there were hardly any tourists and most of the time i had the temples all to myslef, well - just me, the birds, the monkeys and the squirlls.

From Orcha i moved to Khajurahu, to see the temples there that are famous for the beautifull detailed sculpturing, with some erotic elements. the temples were very impressive, but the town itself wasnt nice at all, so i'll just let you enjoy the nice pictures.
