From the sandstone temples of Khajuraho to the hilltop fort of Gwalior, you cross the Bundelkhand plateau of Madhya Pradesh. The two towns lie 275 km apart by road,[1] and a car with driver is the simplest way to cover them.
Khajuraho to Gwalior by Road
Hire a taxi in Khajuraho and ask to stop where you like: Orchha, with its riverside palaces and temples, is a natural halt on the way to Jhansi.
At Gwalior station, taxis and a prepaid auto booth wait outside.[1]
By public transport, buses run from Khajuraho to Jhansi,[2] and Gwalior is another 101 km from Jhansi.[1]
What Awaits in Gwalior
Gwalior's fort crowns a long sandstone ridge above the town, with palaces, temples and carved gateways inside its walls. Arrive in the afternoon and walk up as the light turns gold over the plains.
Khajuraho to Gwalior by Air
Khajuraho's airport has flights to Delhi, Mumbai, Bhopal and Varanasi,[2] and IndiGo flies Delhi to Gwalior non-stop in about 1 hour 10 minutes.[3] Going by air therefore means a change of planes in Delhi, which only pays off if you are continuing from there anyway.
