What Are Ajanta and Ellora Caves?
Ajanta Caves (2nd century BCE–6th century CE) are 30 rock-cut Buddhist caves near Aurangabad, famous for glowing murals and sculptures of Buddha’s life. Tucked in a horseshoe-shaped gorge, they’re like an ancient art gallery full of peace. Ellora Caves (6th–10th century CE) have 34 caves blending Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain art, with the star being Kailasa Temple—a massive Shiva shrine carved from one giant rock. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, showing India’s creative genius. Our 2-day tour fits their highlights into a perfect adventure.
