Getting there and around
Rewa has no commercial airport; the nearest practical airports are in Jabalpur and Khajuraho, both a few hours away by road, and Satna is the closest major railway junction, with Rewa also served by its own railway station. By road, Rewa lies on the NH 7 corridor and is connected to Satna, Jabalpur, Allahabad and Varanasi. Within the city, auto-rickshaws and local buses cover the main routes between the railway station, Civil Lines, the old city and the university area; taxis can be hired for trips to Govindgarh and the waterfalls.
When to go
The most comfortable months to visit Rewa are from October to March, when the weather is dry and mild and the roads to the waterfalls and forest areas are in good condition. The monsoon months of July to September bring the waterfalls to full flow but also make some forest tracks muddy, while the summer months of April to June are hot, with temperatures often above 40°C. Many travellers combine Rewa with a visit to Bandhavgarh, which is also best from October to March.
