A Complete Trip of Aurangabad with Caves & Guide.

Early morning, begin your day with a hotel pickup in Aurangabad in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Accompanied by your professional guide, set out to explore the city’s cultural highlights, starting with :

• Bibi Ka Maqbara – Often called the “Mini Taj Mahal”, this 17th-century mausoleum was built by Aurangzeb’s son in memory of his mother. Its Mughal-style architecture and tranquil gardens make it a stunning attraction.
• Panchakki (Water Mill) – An engineering marvel of its time, this 17th-century water-powered mill reflects the ingenuity of Mughal-era design.

After the city tour, drive to the Ajanta Caves (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Dating back to the 2nd century BCE, these 30 rock-cut Buddhist temples are world-renowned for their exquisite murals and frescoes, depicting scenes from the Jataka tales and the life of Buddha. Your expert guide will bring these paintings and sculptures to life with fascinating stories and interpretations of their spiritual and artistic significance.

Next, continue to the Ellora Caves (UNESCO World Heritage Site), a breathtaking complex of 34 rock-cut temples carved between the 5th and 10th centuries. Unlike Ajanta, Ellora represents a fusion of three religions – Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Highlights include:

• Kailasa Temple (Cave 16) – A jaw-dropping monolithic structure carved out of a single piece of rock, dedicated to Lord Shiva.
• Buddhist monasteries – Offering quiet chambers once used by monks for meditation.
• Jain caves – Representing exquisite detail and religious harmony.

Conclude your enriching day with a comfortable return to your preferred location in Aurangabad, carrying with you memories of the city’s cultural landmarks and the timeless beauty of Ajanta & Ellora.
