Get in

Are you ready for an adventure in Orchha? Here's how you can get there from Agra, Delhi, or Gwalior: Option 1: Take a train to Jhansi station. From there, you can hire a car or auto-rickshaw to Orchha, which is only 15KM away. It's a quick and convenient option, but it might be a bit more expensive. The listed price at the pre-paid taxi stand is 200 rupees, but don't forget to negotiate with the driver. If you're looking for a cheaper way, head outside the train station and find one of the auto-rickshaws serving as a bus shuttle. See if it's going to the bus station, and it should only cost you 10 rupees. From the bus station, there are other shuttle auto-rickshaws that can take you to Orchha for 20 rupees per person. Just be prepared to wait a few minutes until it's full. Option 2: If you're already on your way back from Khajuraho to Jhansi, why not take a detour and visit Orchha? When you reach the outskirts of Jhansi city, take a left on the Orchha triangle. Follow that road, and it will lead you straight to Orchha. Once you're in Orchha, if you're planning to travel by train, be aware that the Orchha railway station is small and only a few trains stop there. The Jhansi - Khajuraho Passenger (229A) is one option, but make sure to check the schedule. The railway station is about 5Kms away from Orchha town, so you might need to hire a rickshaw to get there. And if you're planning to go from Orchha to Khajuraho by train, there's a 07.25 passenger train that takes around 5 hours. The train number is 19666, and you can buy a general ticket for about 35 Rupees. Just keep in mind that the train may split at a junction station, so make sure you're in the right carriage. Get ready to explore Orchha and create unforgettable memories!
