Beni Sagar Lake

A peaceful reservoir about 11 km from Khajuraho, created by damming the Khuddar River. Covering over seven square kilometres and framed by gentle hills, the lake is a popular spot for boating, birdwatching, and picnics away from the temple crowds. Waterbirds gather along the margins, and the early morning light across the water makes for a quiet, unhurried start to the day. Easy to reach by road, it is a natural add-on to any Khajuraho itinerary for travellers wanting a nature break.
