Khajuraho in October: a fine time to go
October: 32°C days — and inside the recommended window.
October is the first month of Khajuraho's season (October – March), so rates are not yet at peak and the crowds are thinner. Hot days around 32°C, nights near 21°C, the odd shower. Stays run about 30% above the usual rate this month.
November is in season too. The season runs to the end of March, 5 months away. The rains usually arrive in June, 8 months away. The heat usually builds in April, 6 months away.
