    Unparalleled

    Don't think there is anything in India or even in the world which will remotely resemble the 2000 years old artwork of the caves. Mystic and mesmerizing !!

    Totally totally amazing

    This historic place leaves you in awe. There are around 30 caves carved out of the rock and each one is different. All caves are dedicated to Buddha throughout; the designs, carvings and technology will leave you dumbstruck as you will wonder how on earth...More

    If you want to view perseverance, here is the place

    People interested in theology, nature, architecture, anthropology, art, culture, architecture, archaeology.... this is an open gallery, library, the sample for you. You need more than a week to scrutinise every curving of every cave.

    Wonderful Painings and Sculptures which has stood the test of time!

    It is a very large area and spending one full day is recommended. The caves contain many frescos and paintings from a couple of centuries before Christ. Carry ample water with you in glass or steel containers as the place is plastic free zone. Also...More

    The insider guide to Ajanta Caves

    Amazing place for the cultural tourist. Would advise to carry a light bagpack and bottle along with slippers. Several caves require removal of footwear, one should also keep hydrated and definitely visit all the caves.

    Approximately 3-4 hours each to visit Ajanta and Ellora caves. I would personally recommend you do visit this on different days.

    Temperature would be max.30 and at night about 12 degrees. So would can wear normal clothes in the day. No woolens needed in the day at Ajanta. At night you may need some light woolens.

    Think it's a good idea to fly to Aurangabad, or if you have the time and want to experience the Indian trains (not a big fan), then do that to Aurangabad. From there you can do daily cabs, they have a ton of travel companies... More
