New services are designed to boost connectivity and convenience for tourists exploring Khajuraho, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage-listed temples, and Varanasi, the spiritual heart of India, in a single, seamless trip. “Delhi-Khajuraho-Varanasi has emerged as a sought-after tourist circuit for discerning travellers seeking deeper immersion in India’s spiritual and artistic legacy, combining Varanasi’s ancient ghats and storied bylanes with Khajuraho’s medieval temple structures,” Air India said in a statement. Flights will operate daily on a triangular circuit with an alternating routing pattern, Delhi - Khajuraho - Varanasi - Delhi, or Delhi - Varanasi - Khajuraho - Delhi. Additionally, Air India’s new seasonal Mumbai-Jaisalmer service starting October 25, 2026, expands access to the popular destination in Rajasthan. This new route complements Air India’s existing daily Delhi-Jaisalmer flights and provides guests from Western India direct connectivity to Jaisalmer during the peak winter tourism season. The newly announced flights are timed to enable seamless onward connections for passengers travelling from destinations across Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Far East into Khajuraho, Varanasi, or Gaya.
