The route is popular with travelers who add Khajuraho to the Golden Triangle. You choose between a train and a private car, and the two feel very different: chai on a platform or village life blurring past a car window.

Khajuraho to Agra by Train

Khajuraho railway station is about 5 km from the main town, so line up a rickshaw or taxi for the ride to the platform.[1] Agra has more than one station, so check which one your ticket names before you leave.

Comfort Classes

On longer or overnight journeys you can choose between several tiers. 1A (AC First Class) is the most private, with lockable compartments. 2A (AC 2-Tier) and 3A (AC 3-Tier) have bunks with curtains. AC Chair Class (CC) gives you a reclining seat for daytime travel. Sleeper Class (SL) is non-air-conditioned, open to the elements and loud, but it is the most authentic and the cheapest. You can check availability and book on GoAsia.cc.

Khajuraho to Agra by Private Transfer

A private transfer is the most flexible option, especially for small groups and families with heavy luggage. You are picked up at your hotel in Khajuraho and dropped at your accommodation in Agra. The drive takes from about 5 hours, longer with traffic. On booking platforms, private transfers start at about $144 (November 2026). Vehicles range from hatchbacks and sedans to SUVs and vans for up to six people.[2] The price is easier to bear when you split it between several passengers.

Tips for Traveling from Khajuraho to Agra

  • Book Trains Early: AC classes can sell out well in advance. Book as soon as your dates are firm.
  • Fly to Delhi: Khajuraho airport lies about 2 km from the temples and has flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Bhopal and Varanasi.[1] A flight to Delhi followed by a road or rail trip is an alternative to the direct overland route.
  • Stay Hydrated: Whether on the train or in a car, carry bottled water and some snacks.
  • Luggage Safety: In sleeper classes it is common to secure your bag to the seat frame with a small chain and lock.
  • Winter Fog: Heavy fog in North India in December and January often delays trains and road traffic. Build some buffer time into your itinerary.
