Which airline flies Khajuraho–Delhi today?
The dependable non-stop between Khajuraho and Delhi is IndiGo. Schedules in 2026 have shown one daily flight, with a midday departure from Khajuraho (around 1:10pm in recent timetables, as 6E 5055) and arrival in Delhi about 80 minutes later. SpiceJet also flew the route in earlier seasons, but its recent schedules have not consistently shown the service, so treat it as a maybe and check on your date. Air India and Alliance Air do not run this sector non-stop. With one main flight a day, Khajuraho–Delhi behaves like a tourist shuttle: easy to plan around, but quick to fill during the winter high season.
Temples first, flight later: timing your last day
The midday departure suits a classic last-day plan. The Western Group of temples, including Kandariya Mahadeva and Lakshmana, opens at sunrise, and two to three hours there leaves time to check out, eat and reach the airport by late morning. Khajuraho Airport is about 5 km from the temple complex, roughly 10–15 minutes by auto or taxi. Aim to be at the terminal 75–90 minutes before departure; it is small and quiet, but tour groups arriving together can create a queue at security. The Eastern and Southern temple groups are further apart, so if you want to see them, do so the day before you fly.
Inside Khajuraho Airport
Khajuraho Airport (HJR) was built mainly for tourism and has a terminal larger than its traffic needs, a legacy of the years when it handled more international charters. Today it handles only a few departures a day, so it is calm. There are a few snack counters but limited options, so do not count on a full meal. There are no aerobridges in regular use for small aircraft; you will walk or take a short bus ride to the aircraft. Wi-Fi and charging points can be unreliable, so download your boarding pass in advance. Taxi drivers in town know the airport well and charge fixed amounts; agree the price before you set off.
IndiGo baggage on the Khajuraho flight
IndiGo's standard domestic economy allowance is 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item such as a laptop bag. On the ATR 72, larger cabin bags may be tagged at the aircraft steps. Things to remember:
- Stone and metal handicrafts bought in Khajuraho are heavy; weigh your bag before you leave the hotel.
- Pre-paid excess baggage on IndiGo is cheaper than paying at the airport counter.
- Lighters and power banks over the permitted rating cannot go in checked baggage.
Allowances can differ on some fare types, so confirm on your booking.
Peak months: October to March and the February dance festival
Khajuraho's travel season runs from October to March, when the weather is pleasant for walking around the temples and for tiger safaris in nearby Panna National Park. The Khajuraho Dance Festival, held in the open air against the temples in the last week of February, brings performers, media and visitors, and the single flight fills up early. Christmas, New Year and the Diwali holidays are also busy, particularly with foreign tourists on Golden Triangle extensions. From April to June, temperatures above 40°C keep visitors away, and fares tend to ease. Panna closes to safaris during the monsoon, usually from July to September.
Landing at Delhi in the afternoon
The Khajuraho flight arrives at Indira Gandhi International Airport in the afternoon. IndiGo uses more than one terminal at Delhi, so check the terminal on your boarding pass. From Terminal 1, the Magenta Line metro links to south Delhi and Noida; from Terminal 3, the Airport Express reaches New Delhi station in about 20 minutes. App cabs and prepaid taxis run from both. If you are flying home internationally the same evening, leave plenty of time: a mid-afternoon arrival gives a workable buffer for a late-night long-haul departure from T3, but a separate ticket will not protect you if the Khajuraho flight is delayed.
Khajuraho in a Delhi-based circuit
Many visitors fit Khajuraho into a wider trip: Delhi, Agra, then Orchha and Khajuraho by road or train, flying back to Delhi at the end. The route also suits a combination with Varanasi, though flights between Khajuraho and Varanasi run only in some seasons. Orchha is about 175 km by road and Jhansi railway station about 175 km, so flying into Khajuraho and leaving by train from Jhansi, or vice versa, is a common pattern. Overnight trains also run from Khajuraho station towards Delhi's Hazrat Nizamuddin. For the outbound journey from the capital, see our Delhi to Khajuraho guide. Compare both directions on FlightGPT before fixing your dates.
If the IndiGo flight is full or not running
With one main flight a day, a sold-out date or a schedule gap can leave you looking for alternatives. The closest options are Jabalpur (about 260 km away), Prayagraj (about 280 km) and Gwalior (about 280 km), all of which have flights to Delhi but involve a five- to six-hour drive. The more practical option for most travellers is a train from Khajuraho or from Jhansi, which has frequent fast trains to Delhi, including the Gatimaan Express and Vande Bharat services, in under five hours. Search FlightGPT for both Khajuraho and Gwalior flights on your date to compare total journey times before choosing.
