• Begin at the designated meeting point in Khajuraho with your guide. Board the coach for a journey that lasts up to two hours to Panna mines, which is located in Madhya Pradesh and is the largest diamond mining center in India. The Panna mines tour will take you to areas of the town known for their diamond storage. These mines span an 80-kilometer stretch from Paharikhera in the North-East to Majhgawan in the South-West, with a width of approximately 30 kilometers. Following the Australian mining technique, diamonds here occur in olivine lamproite pipes. The diamond grades range from 13 carats per thousand hectares to 6 carats per thousand hectares. Observing the diamond picking process is remarkable, with ores being crushed, screened, and sorted before the diamonds are handpicked on secure ground. • Visit the natural crater-cum-waterfall known as Brihaspati kund, which showcases the stunning beauty of nature. This site is well-known among locals and frequently hosts fairs. The name derives from ancient Hindu epics, and Neolithic rock paintings testify to the area's long-standing human presence. Enjoy a packed picnic lunch and have free time for photography. On the return trip, stop in Panna city to learn more about diamond cutting, its identification techniques, and how the sparkling stone transforms into a valuable gem. The return drive to Khajuraho concludes at the original meeting point.
