Jhansi to Khajuraho Cab Fare
Prices from 3 sites, places to stop on the way, and what to see in Khajuraho.
A sedan from Jhansi to Khajuraho costs from ₹4,801 one way, or from ₹6,275 for a 2-day round trip with the same car. The cab takes NH39 east through Barua Sagar and Mauranipur, past Chhatarpur, then turns off at Bamitha for the last 10 km into Khajuraho. Plan on about 3.5 hours. Jhansi is the big railway junction for Khajuraho, so many people come off a train and drive straight on. One night is enough for the temples; stay two to add Raneh Falls.

Places to stop between Jhansi and Khajuraho
The two big stops on the way are the palaces and Ram Raja Temple of Orchha, near Jhansi, and the Bageshwar Dham Hanuman temple, about 20 km before Khajuraho. Both are a short way off NH39: Orchha adds about 14 km at the Jhansi end, and Bageshwar Dham about 10 km near the Khajuraho end. Orchha needs a morning; Bageshwar Dham an hour or two, more on a Tuesday.
Jhansi to Khajuraho
Leave Jhansi by 08:00 and see the Orchha palaces and Ram Raja Temple in the morning, before its doors shut at about 12:30. Lunch in Orchha, then NH39 east, with a stop at Bageshwar Dham before Khajuraho.
Khajuraho to Jhansi
Take NH39 straight back, about 3.5 hours, in time for an evening train from Jhansi.

Detours are measured as the whole trip with the stop, minus the same drive without it. Extra fare is the extra km at each site's sedan rate for a round trip: ₹14.25 a km on Savaari and ₹11 a km on Bharat Taxi. Savaari's one-way price does not cover extra stops, so on a one-way trip tell the site about any stop when you book.

- Drive time ~3.5h
- Highway NH39
Road distance from Jhansi railway station to central Khajuraho, near the bus stand. The road is flat all the way; the slow parts are getting out of Jhansi and the towns along NH39. Allow up to 4 hours, or most of a day if you stop at Orchha.
What to see in Khajuraho
Khajuraho's temples are in three groups a few km apart: Western, Eastern and Southern. One day by cab covers all three, with the museum in between.
Western Group of Temples
The main temple park and the reason most people come, with Kandariya Mahadeva, Lakshmana and Vishwanatha covered in carved figures. Open about 06:00 to 18:00; take two hours or more.
Archaeological Museum
Statues and carved panels from round the temples, including a dancing Ganesha, opposite the Western Group. The Western Group ticket usually covers it on the same day. Closed on Fridays.
Chausath Yogini Temple
The oldest temple site in Khajuraho, a rough granite court of small empty shrines above Shiv Sagar lake. Free, quiet, and a few minutes past the Western Group.
Jain temples (Eastern Group)
A walled compound of Jain temples still in use. Parshvanath has carvings as fine as the Western Group's. Take off shoes and leather belts before going in.
Duladeo and Chaturbhuj temples
The Southern Group, in open fields. Duladeo has crowded, lively carvings; Chaturbhuj has a 2.7 m Vishnu cut from one stone. Both are free.
Raneh Falls
A canyon of red and grey granite on the Ken river, about 20 km east of town. It has the most water from August to October, and closes at 12:00 on Wednesdays.
The drive: which way to go
There is one usual road, NH39. The only choice is whether to go by Orchha, which is just off it.
NH39 via Mauranipur and Chhatarpur
~178 km · about 3.5 h · via Barua Sagar, Mauranipur & Bamitha
NH39 out of Jhansi past Barua Sagar and Mauranipur, round Nowgong and Chhatarpur, then NH339B from Bamitha into Khajuraho. Dhabas along the way.
Via Orchha
~192 km · about 4 h of driving · via Orchha
South to Orchha first, 20 km from Jhansi, to see the Bundela palaces and temples on the Betwa river, then east to join NH39. Only 14 km longer, but give Orchha at least 3 hours.

Should I book a one-way or a round-trip cab to Khajuraho?

A one-way sedan costs ₹4,801 to ₹6,040 on Savaari and EaseMyTrip, and a 2-day round trip in a sedan costs ₹6,275 to ₹7,880 for the drive there and back. Check the date you travel, as prices move with demand.

What are the best places to stop between Jhansi and Khajuraho?
Orchha, 20 km from Jhansi, for its palaces and the Ram Raja Temple, and Bageshwar Dham, the Hanuman temple in Gadha village about 20 km before Khajuraho. Each is about 10 to 14 km off the usual road.
How long is the drive from Jhansi to Khajuraho?
About 3.5 hours for 178 km on NH39 from Jhansi railway station. Allow up to 4 hours, and a full day if you stop at Orchha on the way.
Can I see Orchha on the way to Khajuraho?
Yes. Orchha is 20 km from Jhansi and the road from there joins NH39, so it adds only about 14 km. Leave Jhansi by 08:00, see the Raja Mahal, Jahangir Mahal and Ram Raja Temple, and you reach Khajuraho by evening.
Can I do Khajuraho as a day trip from Jhansi?
It is possible but long: about 7 hours of driving there and back, plus 3 to 4 hours at the temples. Stay a night in Khajuraho and see the Western Group in the morning light instead.
Why take a cab from Jhansi?
Jhansi is the nearest big railway junction, with fast trains from Delhi, Agra and Bhopal, while Khajuraho has only a few trains and flights. A cab from Jhansi station takes you straight to your hotel.
When is the best time to go?
October to March, when days are mild. April to June is very hot. The Khajuraho Dance Festival runs for a week in late February, and hotels fill up then, so book early.
Does a stop on the way cost extra?
A stop right on the road doesn't. A detour adds km: ₹110–₹140 for Bageshwar Dham and ₹160–₹200 for Orchha on a round-trip sedan, at each site's own rate per extra km. Savaari's one-way fare does not cover extra stops, so tell the site when you book.
