How to explore India’s rich cultural heritage through its best sites The Taj Mahal and Khajuraho
By a train
In 2008, a train station connecting Khajuraho to Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) (175 km) on the Delhi-Chennai-Bangalore-Thiruvananthapuram main line finally opened. NOTE: The Khajuraho train station does not sell train tickets.
There are direct trains to Agra, Varanasi, and New Delhi Station (Hazarat Nizamuddin Railway Station).
From Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin to Khajuraho, the UP Sampark Kranti Express (Train number 12448) departs every day. Departure time is 20.10 from Hazrat Nizamuddin station in Delhi, and arrival time in Khajuraho is 06.35 am. If you need to return from Khajuraho to New Delhi, try to purchase tickets for this train because it is much more convenient to travel by train rather than bus. It leaves Khajuraho at 18.20 and arrives in Delhi at 05.25 in the morning (train number 22447).
Now that the Udaipur-Gwalior Express has been extended all the way to Khajuraho (Train No. 19665-1966), travellers can easily reach Khajuraho from all over Rajasthan without having to go through any of the state's more remote locations. Every day, this train runs.
Jhansi is one of the alternate routes to Khajuraho. Train travel from Delhi to Jhansi takes about 6 hours, and it takes another 3 to 4 hours (plus connecting time) to travel to Khajuraho. The Jhansi-Khajuraho Link Passenger (Train No. 51821) now runs alongside the Jhansi-Prayagraj Passenger (Train No. 51821) and departs from Jhansi at 7:10 am and reaches Khajuraho at 12:05 pm.
Take the Dakshin Express from Delhi (23:00 hrs) and arrive in Jhansi by 05:00 hrs. The Bhopal Shatabdi train departs Delhi for Jhansi at 6:00 am as an alternative. The train from Khajuraho to Jhansi departs at 12:25 and arrives in Jhansi at 5:30. At Orchha, both trains are stopped. The Udz Kurj Express (19666), which leaves Jhansi at 15:30 and arrives in Khajuraho at 19:50, is the second train from Orchha.
On the Prayagraj-Mumbai main line, Satna (Madhya Pradesh), at 117 km, serves as a substitute station. Mahoba Station on the Varanasi-Jhansi Route is an additional choice. Take the 11:00 am Passenger (Train No. 229A) to Khajuraho after exiting at Mahoba.
