Experiences The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace, Khajuraho

In the company of an expert naturalist, you will embark on an Oberoi-curated safari through Panna National Park. From the elusive tiger to the delicate deer, the forest will reveal its sovereigns in their natural realm, offering you an unforgettable encounter with India’s wild majesty. Each turn of the trail will heighten your anticipation, each rustle in the brush a promise of discovery. This is not merely a safari, it is your invitation into the kingdom of the wild where nature still reigns supreme.

At dawn, you will be guided by the palace historian through Rajgarh’s timeless grounds, before tracing the legacy of the Chandela kings at Khajuraho’s exquisite temples. As the sun rises, these UNESCO marvels glow in golden light, their intricate carvings narrating stories of life, love and devotion. You will experience history not as something past, but as something alive, etched in stone and whispered in the morning breeze. The journey in a chauffeur driven car culminates in a sumptuous breakfast at Neer, our lakeside restaurant, where birdsong and shimmering waters create a symphony of tranquillity. Here, you will not simply dine; you will awaken all your senses to the day ahead.

On this journey, you will follow the Ken River to the majestic Raneh Gorge, where crystalline granite in hues of rose, grey and amber plunges into a five-kilometre canyon. Seasonal falls cascade through its depths, their roar or whisper echoing off ancient stone. Here, you will pause for a short meditation by the river’s edge, letting the rhythm of flowing water and the stillness of the gorge restore your spirit. From there, you continue to the Ken Gharial Sanctuary, a protected haven for rare gharials and vibrant aquatic life. Local lore still recalls a time when the Ken slipped underground in the form of a fish to elude even the Pandavas, a myth that lingers in the mist rising from the gorge. Your experience concludes at Sama, our palace bar, with refreshing cocktails served against the regal backdrop of Rajgarh.

Begin your experience with a tranquil boat ride across the shimmering lake at dusk, setting the tone for an unforgettable escape. As you glide across the water, take in the breathtaking views before arriving at Asmi Spa for 90 minutes of pure indulgence. Choose between a deeply relaxing full-body treatment or a rejuvenating facial, tailored to your needs.

Every evening at The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace, Khajuraho a new story will be brought to life for you. On alternate nights, the Palace ritual of dhoop daan perfumes the dusk, heralding lakeside performances of Bundelkhand’s vibrant dance traditions.

Guided by our resident historian, journey through the Palace’s storied corridors to uncover royal anecdotes and timeless architecture. Step deeper into hidden spaces - the Kachehri King’s Court, subterranean dungeons and the fabled Mastani Mahal. Here, the past comes alive in whispers and echoes, where every stone holds a secret and every wall a memory of empire.

Children will be gently introduced to yoga, learning breathing and movement practices once reserved for princes and princesses in training. Set in the serene palace gardens, this experience blends discipline with play, teaching focus and joy in equal measure. As they stretch beneath the shade of ancient trees, they will feel not just like learners, but like young royals shaping both body and spirit. This is where wellness becomes a game and mindfulness, their legacy.

Inspired by Panna’s diamond heritage, young explorers will don hard hats and sift through sand in search of hidden gems. Playful and immersive, this quest connects children to the thrill of discovery. They will laugh, compete, and marvel at treasures uncovered with their own hands, leaving them with stories to recount long after the day has ended. In this adventure, every child becomes a true heir to Rajgarh’s royal sparkle.
