Morning light slants across cracked mud tracks as riders set off from Khajuraho, pedals rhythmically eating up rural miles. Rice paddies and fields swing past; water buffalo lift slow heads as the guide points out a small, weathered temple on the road's shoulder. The air here has the blunt honesty of central India—hot, dusty, and full of sound.

Start before the heat
Depart early morning to avoid high temperatures and to get the best light on the ridge.
Hydrate often
Carry or drink at least one liter before the climb; an extra bottle is recommended for hot months.
Footwear for the trek
Swap to closed shoes for the uphill section—loose shale and uneven steps make sandals risky.
Respect farm boundaries
Stick to tracks and ask before entering private fields—crop damage is a common local concern.
Helmet
Protects against falls on country roads and during dismounts for the climb.
Closed-toe trekking shoes
Better grip and ankle protection for the rocky uphill section.

Central India sun is strong—use SPF and a hat for protection on exposed stretches.
