As per earlier announcement, train was scheduled to start from 01/Nov/2009 but due to some reasons, it was delayed. Finally now train service has been started and it is a welcome initiative. Khajuraho - Varanasi Train Service will definitely improve connectivity between these two much popular tourist destinations. Tourists usually opt to visit Varanasi or Bandhavgarh as connecting destination to Khajuraho. So far most of the visitors prefers Flight service to travel between them and in case of flight cancellation, only available option was to travel a distance of approx. 400km by car which usually takes 8-10 hours hectic journey. Train option is good for those who cannot afford flight fare and wish to travel comfortably. As most of the time, train will travel in night, it will save time and will not pose problem in scheduling tour program.
