Question 3

Is Khajuraho walkable?

Accepted Answer

Khajuraho’s Western Group of Temples is very walkable, and you can reach the Eastern and Southern groups, though they are a few kilometres apart. Paths are flat but it gets hot.

E-rickshaws and shared autos are the simplest way to hop between temple groups and to the railway station. For comfort, cooler travel, or a side trip to Raneh Falls, consider a private tour in Khajuraho.
