As you wander through this natural wonder, you’ll find yourself immersed in the beauty and tranquility that Khajuraho is renowned for.

“Raneh Waterfalls, unforgettable! - On my recent trip to India, I wanted to visit Panna Reserve National Park but it was closed for monsoon time, so Voyage of Alma arranged for me to visit the stunning waterfalls of Raneh. Not only did we enjoy the landscape (a paradise for geologists for its rock formations) but we also saw animals in their natural habitat: gazelles, monkeys, peacocks,….. It was a fantastic tour and for nature lovers to get in touch with Voyage of Alma, they will organize a perfect visit even during the monsoon!” - Reviewed at 2024-08-06
