The distance is 175 Kms one way, however for a taxi you'll have to pay for both way. Now a days the going rate for a small Tata Indica car is Rs. 5 per KM so you should expect to pay You should expect to pay around Rs. 1500/-. taxi will take 3 hrs or so.

Howver there is a local train 229A, it leaves Jhansi daily at 7.25 a.m. and arrives at 12.10 p.m. Coming back, train 230A departs from Khajuraho daily at 12.30 p.m. and reaches Jhansi at 5 p.m.

It also stops in Orchha, if you want to visit Orchha also.

It is a local train and can not be booked on internet. Plus it will stop at numerous stops enroute.

Thank you a lot.

I thought it was cheeper. My schedule doesn't allow me to catch thoese trains. Maybe I'll share it with some other tourists.

there are buses from jhansi to kajuraho, usually coinciding with the main train timings..they are 'delux' buses available from outside the station. Delux - 2x2 padded seats

Do you know how long they take? And the price?

Yes ! You can pool in travelers and share costs ! As I have given you an Indian price. A Westerner will be quoted at least 50% more and then it's up to your bargaining power.

Hello all,
first at all congratulations for this site, it's a great forum.

I'm planing to visit Khajuraho. Coming from Delhi and I would like to reach Khajuraho during the morning. Currently the unique option that I have found to do this is taking a train from Delhi at 22:30 (July 21) and arrive to Jhansi at 3:59am. Then, take a taxi and drive to Khajuraho.

However I'm a little scared of doing this, is my first time in India and I don't know how safe this option is. What do you think?

I tried to find the Sampark Kranti Express in the indiarailways site to book it, but I could not find it.

Many many thanks in advance for your help,

Greetings,

Burton

What's the problem in booking tickets from Hazrat Nizamuddin Station(Delhi): NZM to Khajuraho : KURJ ? The timings are perfect for you and the train is showing up very much on the booking site. Only it runs 3 times a week - Tues , Friday , Sundays from Delhi.

Site : irctc.co.in
Train : 2448 U P Sampark Kranti

Start :NZM Dep 21.25 Pm
Destination : KURJ Arr : 7.50 Am

Just put in the Station codes as above and book your tickets. Why take the hassle of a road trip ?
