  1. Khajuraho[1] is a small town located in the Bundelkhand region (Chhatarpur District) of Madhya Pradesh and is famous for groups of Hindu and Jain temples. These temples are a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their beautiful and erotic rock carvings.

    Khajuraho has the Vindhya range of mountains as its beautiful backdrop.

    Khajuraho Airport (HJR) Tel:+91 7686 740-415 is located 5kms from the city, and is served by Air India (fomerly Indian Airlines) [2] offering flights from Delhi, Varanasi and Mumbai, Jet Airways [3] offering flights from Delhi and Varanasi and Kingfisher offering flights from Varanasi. If one is not prepared for a 5 hr bumpy ride from Jhansi to Khajuraho, then the plane is the best mode.

    From the end of 2008 Khajuraho Airport will also be an International Airport with connections to the Middle-East, Singapore, Bangkok.

    Indian Railways[4], state owned railways, has connectivity from all over India. Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) (175km) and Satna (Madhya Pradesh) (117km) are the convenient large railway stations for Khajuraho. Satna is on the Allahabad-Mumbai main line while Jhansi is on the Delhi-Chennai/Bangalore mainline.

    It takes around 6 hours to reach Jhansi from Delhi by train. The nearest railway stations to Khajuraho are Harpalpur (94 km) and Mahoba (63 km). These are relatively small stations with less facilities, although you should be able to get transport from there to Khajuraho. A new railway line linking Mahoba with Khajuraho is expected to open in 2008.

    The best way to reach Khajuraho is to get the Dakshin Express from Delhi (22:50 hrs) and reach Jhansi by 05:00 hrs. Take an auto and reach the street where the travel agent offices are located (one can reach by paying 20/-rs. Negotiate with a taxi driver. It is possible to get one for Rs.2500/- (tell him that you won't give him accommodation at Khajuraho) and you can reach Khajuraho in 3 hrs. Get into your hotel, freshen up and visit the Western Group of temples. Watch the Light and Sound show in the evening. Next day visit the Eastern and other group of temples and reach hotel by 1500 hrs. Travel back to Jhansi and reach by 1900 hrs and get the Goa express (21:20) and reach Kopargaon at 10:00 hrs next day to visit The Great Shirdi Sai Baba Temple. In the evening, proceed to Aurangabad to visit Ajanta and Ellora.

    Satna and Jhansi both are connected to Khajuraho by regular bus service. It takes around 3 hours to reach Khajuraho from Satna or Jhansi by taxi, and 5-6 hours by bus. There are daily bus services with Satna, Jhansi, Harpalpur, Chhatarpur, Mahoba, Sagar,Jabalpur, Bhopal, Indore, Gwalior, Panna, Agra, Allahabad and Varanasi.

    Khajuraho To Satna (117km, 4hrs), Harpalpur (94km), Jhansi (172km )and Mahoba (61km). Khajuraho is located 600km (11hrs journey) south West of Delhi. There are bus services from Agra (12 hrs), Gwalior (9hrs) and Jhansi.

    Taxis are recommended because the condition of buses and roads are not good, and the ride is gruelling.


  2. Khajuraho  is located in Chhatarpur District, of Madhya Pradesh State of India about 385 miles (620 kilometres) southeast of Delhi, .

  3. Located in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh, Khajuraho has emerged as a renowned tourist destination from a tiny unknown village.
