To Khajuraho by car

Indian roads

We decided to go to Khajuraho by car. We had already a lot of experience with trains, but there is no direct train-connection to Khajuraho. You'd have to go first to Jansi, and then to travel by bus. So do most of the tourists, but we did not want to suffer that much and so we had chosen a bit more expensive but more convenient way to travel.

We set off about 10:00 and we reached Khajuraho at around 18:00. During this time we had made only one, one hour break for lunch. Our driver spoke no English but the owner of the company leasing the car explained to him everything before the journey and there were no problems.

We were bored a little during the trip, but the view outside the window was attracting our attention. Indian roads are not as bad as they say. There are sections that look better than our Polish roads. But sometimes, though rarely, it happens that the road is almost impossible to drive. Very narrow and full of holes.

Only in India, one appreciates horn-blowing. All tourists complain that the Indians are abusing it and that it is terribly loud, but it plays the most important role in traffic. When an Indian drives a very narrow street on a hot day, it is useless for him to give light signals, horn-blowing is like crying out: "Attention! I am coming! Go off the road!" It is very safe on the roads. I have never seen any raging drivers. All drive very slowly and carefully. Maximal speed that we have experienced was up to 100 km / h. Everywhere they are "sleeping policemen" and other obstacles that require the driver to slow down (sometimes quite unnecessarily). For this reason, such a distance as 300 km is quite a challenge and requires at least 6 hours.

It was already dark, when we arrived at the hotel. They were waiting for us there and gave us a pretty decent room for a relatively small price. We had even a flat screen TV in a room. There I watched Bhool Bhulaiya in the evening for the tenth time :)))
