Coming from Delhi / Agra /
Gwalior : Take a train to Jhansi
station, and then you have two options. The easier to hire a car or
auto-rickshaw to Orchha which is 16KM away. By auto-rickshaw, it takes about 40
minutes; by car, 20 minutes. The listed price at the pre-paid taxi stand was
300 rupees, however, you'll have to negotiate the price with the driver that
you take it may little expensive.
A cheaper way is to pile into one of the
auto-rickshaws outside the train station which serve as a bus shuttle - see if
it's going to the bus station, which should only cost 10 rupees this way. From
the bus station there are other shuttle auto-rickshaws that head to Orchha for
20 rupees per person, though you might have to wait a few minutes till it
leaves; they only go when full.
You can reach Orchha
while returning to Jhansi from Khajuraho, as a detour. While coming to Jhansi
from Khajuraho, when you reach on the outskirts of Jhansi city, take left on
the Orchha Tigaila(triangle). That road will lead to Orchha. There is a
small railway station at Orchha in which only very few trains stop.
Jhansi -
Khajuraho Passenger (229A) has stoppage at Orchha. Khajuraho - Jhansi passenger
(230A) reaches Orchha by 4:45Pm. Orchha railway station is 5Kms away from
Orchha town. Hire a rickshaw and pay Rs. 50 max to get to Orchha.
