Ajanta & Ellora Caves Trip

Overview

Ajanta & Ellora Caves Trip from Mumbai takes you to two of the most extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the planet — rock-cut cave temples carved into the cliffs of Maharashtra over 1,500 years ago. Ajanta features stunning Buddhist murals and sculptures that rival any art gallery in the world, while Ellora showcases an incredible harmony of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain cave temples carved side by side — including the world's largest monolithic rock-cut structure, the Kailasa Temple (Cave 16). This is a cultural pilgrimage that every Indian must make at least once.

This 2-day Ajanta & Ellora Caves Trip from Mumbai begins with a one-hour morning flight to Aurangabad. Day 1 is devoted to Ajanta — a guided tour of the highlight caves (1, 2, 10, 16, 17, 19 and 26), lunch, and time for the remaining caves and the museum before returning to Aurangabad to visit Bibi Ka Maqbara and settle into the hotel. Day 2 covers Ellora, starting with a guided tour of the Kailasa Temple (Cave 16), the Buddhist caves (1–12) and the Jain caves (30–34), followed by lunch and a visit to Daulatabad Fort before the transfer back to Aurangabad Airport for the return flight to Mumbai.

Priced at ₹8999, the trip includes return flights between Mumbai and Aurangabad, one night's hotel stay, an expert heritage guide for both cave complexes, all ASI monument entry fees, camera fees for still photography, and meals across both days. Rated Easy with paved paths and ramps at the major caves, it is accessible for elderly visitors and ideal for anyone seeking a deep dive into India's ancient rock-cut art.

Based in Maharashtra, this easy 2-day trek is best attempted during February, October — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
