Getting to Khajuraho

By Plane: Daily flights - Indian Airlines & Jet Airways - connect Khajuraho with Delhi, Agra, and Varanasi. The airport is only about 5 km from most hotels. Airport pickup is available from certain hotels, otherwise taxis or cycle-rickshaws are available. Book flights early; they tend to fill with tour groups during the season.

By Bus: Khajuraho is one of the cities well connected by public and private buses. Private tour service operators arrange deluxe AC and Non AC buses to Khajuraho from various cities including Jhansi (176 km, 4 1/2-5 hours), Delhi (596 km), Agra (391 km, 10-12 hours). Tourist deluxe buses will charge about Rs 3 to Rs 4 per km.

By Train: Nearest railway station to Khajuraho is Mahoba which is located at 63 km from Khajuraho. Harpalpur is another nearby major rail head, which is connected to most of the railhead in India. It is nearly 90 km away from Khajuraho. Pre-paid taxis cost nearly Rs 1200 from Mahoba and Rs 2000 from Khajuraho. Jhansi is the nearest station on the main Delhi line (Delhi, Agra, Bhopal). Satna is not the nearest but is the best station for Varanasi.

By Private Car: If you find other travellers from Agra or Varanasi who'd like to share a taxi it may be a good alternative to other modes of transportation. A car from Varanasi or Agra will take about 8-9 hours and cost approximately Rs 5000.

Getting Around Khajuraho

The 3 temple groups are within an 8 sq km area so walking is not the best option. Renting a bicycle is a great and inexpensive way to get around. Rentals can be found at various places in the village (just look for the signs). Bicycles are not allowed inside the temple complexes so make sure you have a lock.

Another option for getting around is by cycle-rickshaw. Agree on a price before you start off. Make sure that the price includes waiting time while you are at the temples.
