After reaching Ellora caves , explore Ellora caves for 2-3 hours. The incredible Kailasa Temple (also known as the Kailash Temple), which forms Cave 16 at Ellora, is undoubtedly the most famous attraction. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and his sacred abode at Mount Kailash. Its immense size covers twice the area of the Pantheon in Athens, and is one and a half times as high! The life-size elephant sculptures are a highlight.The most incomprehensible thing about the Ajanta and Ellora caves is that they were crafted by hand, with only a hammer and chisel.

5.00Our tour driver promptly picked us up in Aurungabad and drove us to both Ajanta and Ellora caves. We toured these spectacular world Heritage sites from 7 am to 4 pm, we’ll worth the trip. The manager Mr. Jai Singh also made a follow up call to ensure all was going well. This Viator booking was reasonably priced and enjoyable. Thanks very much, Mahendra & Louise from the USA
