   • Get picked up from the hotel/airport/train station/bus station by 8 AM. 

   • Start the tour of Ellora, Ellora, which is 35 kilometres, 1 hour away from Aurangabad. These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over 2 km, were dug in a high basalt cliff wall not far from Aurangabad in Maharashtra. With its uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000, Ellora brings the civilisation of ancient India to life. The Ellora complex is a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit. With its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.

From the 2nd century BC to the 5th century AD, the valley was inhabited by Buddhists. In a U-shaped valley cut steeply into the rock by the river Waguma, one finds numerous large cave temples driven into the rock. In a Mahayana cave, you can visit very well preserved murals with scenes from the life of Buddha. The entire complex has been declared a World Heritage Site. Delicate old Buddhist murals, fine stone reliefs and sculptures decorate the temples and monasteries carved into the rock. In Ajanta, 30 caves once belonged to a Buddhist monastery, standing on the rock face.

   • Stop for lunch in which the guide will show you a nice restaurant, and then later, you will come to Aurangabad, and you can stay at your hotel.
