About This Tour Package
Starting from Pune, this package is run by Aman Tours and Travels with pick-up from Hadapsar, Magarpatta, Kharadi, Wagholi, Shivajinagar, Swargate, Kothrud, Hinjewadi, Pune railway station and the airport.
Ajanta and Ellora are among India’s greatest heritage treasures, recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Ajanta caves are famous for ancient Buddhist paintings, while the Ellora caves, including the monolithic Kailasa temple, display the art of three religions carved out of rock.
Our three-day package travels via Ahilyanagar to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad). On the first day you visit Bibi Ka Maqbara and Panchakki. The second day is for Ellora Caves and Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga, and the third for Ajanta Caves before the return journey. Because Ajanta is a long day trip, we keep the schedule flexible, and the caves are closed on certain days, so we plan around those.
Comfort is important on this tour, so we recommend Innova Crysta, Ertiga or Urbania. Tourists and families, including senior citizens, find it relaxed with a private cab as they can choose their own pace. Our driver understands the road conditions and can guide you on timings for light and crowds at each cave site.
A heritage tour should not feel like a race, so we give each site enough time. Ellora has more than thirty caves, and the Kailasa temple alone deserves an hour or more. Ajanta needs patience because of the walk and the light inside the caves. By using a private cab, you can start early, rest at the right time and travel between sites without depending on public transport. This package is a favourite with families, photographers and history lovers.
Tips for the tour: the Ajanta caves are closed on Mondays and the Ellora caves on Tuesdays, so we plan the sequence accordingly. Carry water, a hat and comfortable shoes, as there is a fair amount of walking. October to March is the pleasant season, and the monsoon turns the surrounding hills green. Hiring a guide at the caves helps you understand the stories behind the paintings and sculptures.
From Pune to Aurangabad is about 235 km, taking 5 hours via Ahilyanagar. Leave early in the morning to visit the city sights on the first evening.
From Pune, we can fix the pick-up point and time according to your convenience, even in the early hours of the morning for long routes.
