Question by OSCAR S: When travelling in India, can I hire a taxi to drive me from Agra to Khajuraho? Is this the fastest way?
I’m visiting India for my first time in early April and am short on time. I wanna check out Delhi, Agra, and Khajuraho, but apparently it takes to long by bus or train to go from Agra to Khajuraho. I know one can hire a taxi to drive from Agra to Delhi, and so I wonder if this can also be done to go from Agra to Khajuraho? Any thoughts?

you can catch a taxi from delhi to agra and from there to khajuraho and back to delhi as will be comfortable to you.(except between jhanshi and khajuraho ) you can hire a single taxi from delhi to visit agra and khajuraho . from delhi to agra is 190 k.m. and from agra to khajuraho is via jhansi, mahoba. it will be near about 9 hours journey. so it will be better that you go to khajuraho (mahoba nearest railway station to khajuraho as the new track up to khajuraho has not yet started) from new delhi and while coming back you can get down at agra and from agra you can come to delhi. my advise for train is actully becuase of the road condition between jhanshi and khajuraho is very very bad and also dumpy road . so my sugesttion is go to mahoba directly from delhi or agra by train and come bcak by train .

you have a direct train 2448 express depature from nzm (hazarat nizamuddin the railway station name in new delhi) at 21.35 and reach mahoba at 5.55 next day morning and from there you can catch a taxi to khajuraho which is 60 k.m. from mahoba. this train runs only on sunday, tuesday and friday only.
you also have a train 2190 express depature 16.10 and arrival mahoba 01.22 in the mid night . but this train runs daily.
you also have train from agra 2178 express which start at 5.10 and reach 11.15 at mahoba but this train runs only on monday.
There is a direct train from Delhi (dep@2130 hrs) through Agra (dep around midnight) to Khajuraho (arrives around 0700 hrs), which is the best option. The train route is operational for about 2 years now.
Road Route from Agra to Khajuraho will be via Gwalior – Jhansi – Nowgong – Chhattarpur
Road between Gwalior to Jhansi is being relaid and there are lot of diversions.
If you do not want to take the night train to Khajuraho, It is best that you take Shatabdi Express from Agra (dep@0800 hrs) to reach Jhansi (1100 hrs) and drive to Khajuraho (3 hrs). You may return to Delhi by the overnight train back.
