Raneh Falls, a breathtaking canyon near Khajuraho

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

People have waxed poetic about the temples of Khajuraho, but have mostly kept quiet about the grandeur that is Raneh falls, 20 km away from Khajuraho. The falls is a canyon carved out of multi-hued crystalline granite by the Ken river. Apparently, a volcano existed here, according top the local guides, and one can still see the bottomless pool that was the crater, now filled with water.

This site is a must visit in the evening when the setting sun creates a multi-hued kaleidoscope of a land scape.  these pictures were taken in December.

The guides say that the rainy season is an altogether different story with a million waterfalls of all sizes sprouting in between the sharp rocks.

Note to self: Must visit again during the rainy season
