Air India Khajuraho flights: the two daily patterns

The service is a single circuit that visits both Khajuraho and Varanasi, but the order changes by day. All times below are local, as published by Air India.

On Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, flight AI2568 leaves Delhi at 13:25 and lands in Khajuraho at 14:40. It departs Khajuraho at 15:30 and reaches Varanasi at 16:15. The final leg leaves Varanasi at 17:05 and arrives in Delhi at 18:30.

On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, flight AI2567 leaves Delhi at 13:25 and reaches Varanasi at 14:50. It then departs Varanasi at 15:40 and lands in Khajuraho at 16:25. The return to Delhi leaves Khajuraho at 17:15 and arrives at 18:30.

What this means for a heritage trip

Khajuraho is known for its temple complex, so a direct flight from Delhi can make a short heritage trip easier to plan. However, the two patterns mean your arrival time depends on the weekday, so check the day before you book hotels or a guide.

The circuit also lets you combine two destinations. For example, on AI2568 you can land in Khajuraho in the afternoon and be in Varanasi by 16:15 on the same flight. Meanwhile, Air India says the flights connect to Delhi for onward travel to Europe, Southeast Asia and the Far East.

Other routes in the same announcement

The same release adds a daily non-stop Mumbai to Jaisalmer service. Flight AI2563 leaves Mumbai at 10:00 and reaches Jaisalmer at 11:40. The return, AI2564, leaves at 12:50 and lands at 14:30. It sits alongside the existing daily Delhi to Jaisalmer flight.

Delhi to Gaya gets an extra daily frequency too. AI2561 departs Delhi at 07:45 and arrives at 09:15, while AI2562 leaves Gaya at 10:00 and lands at 11:25. The older AI429 and AI430 flights continue in the afternoon.
