Dining options inside the airport are limited to a small cafeteria offering basic snacks, beverages, and light meals. The town of Khajuraho, just a few kilometres away, offers a wider range of restaurants serving North Indian and Bundelkhandi cuisine along the main tourist strip near the Western Temple Group. Travellers are advised to explore local eateries for authentic regional dishes such as dal bafla and bhutte ki kees.
- The airport is only about 5 km from the Western Temple Group, so most journeys into town take under 15 minutes.
- Book taxis or autos in advance during peak tourist season (October to March) as demand can outstrip supply.
- Carry Indian rupees in cash as card acceptance at local transport providers is limited.
- Arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure, as check-in queues can form quickly during busy periods.
