When to visit

The best time to visit Khajuraho is during the winter months from October to March when the weather is pleasant and ideal for exploring the temples. The summer months from April to June can be extremely hot with temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius. Monsoon season from July to September brings heavy rainfall, which may hinder outdoor activities. It is advisable to avoid visiting during these months.

Getting around

Khajuraho is a small town that can be easily explored on foot or by hiring a bicycle or a rickshaw. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are also available for longer distances or for visiting nearby attractions like the Raneh Falls and Panna National Park. Local buses are another affordable option for getting around the town and neighboring areas.

Traveller tips

Wear comfortable footwear as you will be doing a lot of walking around the temple complex. Carry sufficient water and stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. Respect the cultural norms and traditions while visiting the temples, as they are considered sacred sites. Hire a guide to learn more about the history and significance of the temples. Bargain with local vendors while shopping for souvenirs to get the best deals. Try the local street food but make sure it is from a hygienic vendor.
