Easy transfers to and in Khajuraho
- The town is compact and distances are manageable. A good hotel with easy car access to the temples is key. Avoid places where you have to carry luggage up steep stairs.
- Ask the airline or railway for wheelchair or porter assistance when you book, not on the day.
- Pre-book the pickup from the airport or station, so nobody has to negotiate with drivers after a long journey.
- Choose arrivals in daylight where you can, and keep the first afternoon free to rest.
