Aurangabad/Ajanta Ellora to Khajuraho

I have had a read on the Khajuraho thread and need some broad advise on some basics to travel as per the heading of this thread.

Then on to Agra.

Really getting excited,only 24 more sleeps before we arr. in Chennai.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jerry,

I have done bit of research and my conclusions are (you are planning exact same route as me!)

Suggest

Aurangabad... arrive....
Day 1 - hire car and see Ellora and other sites around aurangabad
Day two - early morning start to arrvive by car 9am ajanta caves
then car to Jalagaon to depart train at 16.50 to arrrive Jhansi 3.50am following morning.

thance to Khaj (are you planning to take in ORRcha on way?) Jhansi to Khaj direct buses avail -- about 4 hrs -- we plan to go to Orrcha for day (bout halfhour from Jhansi and then next day to Khaj..(car or bus not sure yet)

When finished Khaj take taxi to Mahoda and train to Agra (leaves post midnigght getting to Agra ----as i recall about 8amish...

Hope this helps - please ask more here or in pm...

PS depending on your timings it may be more appropriate for you to backtrack from Khaj to Jalgaon then go to Mahoda .. either way is pain !

Hi Wabat,

I wouldn't know much about any way of travelling from Aurangabad to
Khajuraho.

Will have to wait for more feedback and/or travel as you suggested.

Best wishes

Jerry

Take the car (or a bus from Ajanta) to Bhusaval, the train options to Jhansi are better from Bhusaval.

Keep an eye on indiamike, there's a train station opening in Khajuraho soon with direct trains to Agra (poor arrival time) and Delhi, the train will run 3 days a week.
