Ajanta & Ellora: Explore the UNESCO-listed Caves

Are you into history and architecture? If yes, then you must visit the wonderful historic caves of Ajanta and Ellora. Apart from the 34 overwhelming caves in Ellora, you can pay a visit to the ancient Grineshwar Temple, home to one of the 12 jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The largest monolithic rock-cut temple in the world, Kailash Temple, is also a gem in Ellora.

 

More than 20-centuries-old rock-cut Buddhist monuments, thirty in number, are there in the Ajanta Caves. Known as the Taj of the Deccan, 5 km from Aurangabad, is Bibi Ka Maqbara too, a monument that resembles the Taj Mahal.
