We made Ellora and Ajanata tour in one day. It was tough as both places need lots of attention and are simply amazing in different ways. But we managed and it was day full of joy and beauty. Also because of great guidance and driving skills of our driver Mr. Sulemam. He told us also a lot about life in India so we had very interesting trip and learned about local tradition. Punctuality and suppport was simply perfect !!! There no thing we could add to be improved so keep the good work 🙂 see you hopefully

We spent four nights in Aurangabad and stayed at hotel Sparkling Pearl next to the INOX theatre. The hotel location is great - close to nice restaurants. For vegetetians I will recommend the greenleaf restaurant - 3 minutes walk from the hotel. Try the ayurveda tea nearby at cannought, CIDCO - you will love it. First day we went to Shirdi and back. Second day we did the trip to Ellora and the Gruhshneshwar temple (one of the Jyothilingams). Third day we did the day trip to Ajantha. We engaged the hotel taxi that cost us Rs 9500 for the three days. Do engage a guide preferably a govt guide) in Ajanta and Ellora. They charge Rs 2050 for a group of 5 persons.

Amazing! Two places I will never forget! The experience was wonderful thanks to the guide, Gani, who knows the place very well and takes fantastic photos, and to the driver, Samad, who drove safely on the difficult roads in the area. Totally recommended!
