Gaya to Khajuraho

ronzesty · Feb 22nd, 2008, 01:03

what is the easiest/cheapest way of getting to Khajuraho from Gaya? Is taking a taxi from Satna or Jhansi inescapable?

When and what day of the week?

and how about a 01:30 departure from Gaya Jn train station?

it would probably be either a Sunday or a Monday. Departing Gaya at any time is fine. I would prefer not to arrive in a new unfamiliar place too late though.

Gaya is often thought of as a dangerous place, especially after dark.

Anyway.

Train 2175 (M, W, Th.) and train 2177 (Sa.) depart Gaya at 01.30and get to Mahoba at 12.50 (2A, 3A, SL.)

So the train on 'Sunday night' would be 2175's Monday departure.

Mahoba is the closest station to Khajuraho, it's about 3 hours by bus.

There is a daily train from Patna (19.55) to Satna (05:10), this seems like a good way to avoid the awful departure time from Gaya.

One more thing, Khajuraho will soon have a train station, a line is being built from Mahoba to Khajuraho, the line is supposed to be finished up to 11kms from Khajuraho, and this finished section was supposed to be opened last Thursday by the railway minister, but I've not seen any news about this, despite searching every day.

The rail budget is next Tuesday, and the rail minister will want that line open before then, so it will either be open, or there will be an announcement about it in the budget, there has been talk of trains from Khajuraho and Varanasi (as well as Agra/Delhi), if the train from Varanasi to Khajuraho is an overnight train, this would be a better way to get to Khajuraho from Gaya.

I will update the following thread as soon as I get any info about the Khajuraho train.

New train/route updates.

Wow a trainstation that close to Khajuraho would be amazing. My selfish hope is that the line will be complete by the time I arrive in June.

having problems booking the train from Gaya to Mahoba. The station names are GAYA and MBA, correct? Nothing seems to come up

Also, still no word on the Khajuraho line
