We were looking for a weekend trip to escape chilling winter of Delhi, so after long hours of searching we decided to go for our first trip to MP.

Note :-- Best time to visit these places in MP is October - March as it gets hot and dry during summers.

There is only one direct train from Nizamuddin Station (Delhi) to Khajuraho , U.P Sampark Kranti Express.Due to fog our train got delayed by 5Hours, but still we were able to visit all the places.

We took an auto rickshaw from station to visit all the temples in Khajuraho.

Temples are divided into two groups, Eastern Group of Temples and Western Group of Temples. It takes almost full day to visit all the temples.

After visting all the temples and taking some great photo's, we reached bus stand and took bus to Chattarpur, there is no direct bus from Khajuraho to Orchha we had to do a break journey to chattarpur and then to Orchha.
