We help plan the transport side of your visit and confirm the services available for your selected dates.

Discover Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves
Ajanta Caves Sightseeing Tour
Ajanta is renowned for its Buddhist rock-cut monuments, paintings, sculptures and architectural heritage. The complex contains 30 caves, including unfinished excavations, cut into a horseshoe-shaped cliff above the Waghora River. Its two main phases of activity span from the 2nd–1st centuries BCE and the 5th–6th centuries CE.
Visitors interested in Buddhist history, ancient painting, sculpture and the development of Indian art can allow time to explore the site at a comfortable pace. Ask us about a private vehicle from Verul or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and guide or audio-guide options available at the site.

Ellora is a remarkable complex of 34 rock-cut monasteries and temples extending across a basalt escarpment. Its Buddhist, Hindu and Jain monuments reflect artistic activity across several centuries and the coexistence of different religious traditions.
The celebrated Cave 16, the Kailasa Temple, is a monumental rock-cut temple dedicated to Shiva. A visit can be planned around the cave groups and the monuments that interest you most. Our base opposite Ellora makes us a local contact for arranging transport and discussing your visit.
