- Ajanta Caves - Begin the day with a hotel pick-up to explore the Ajanta Caves. These caves are renowned for their detailed rock-cut architecture. The breathtaking frescoes and cave paintings are among the finest examples of ancient Indian art. The Ajanta Caves are carved into a horseshoe-shaped rock formation, approximately 76 meters high, overlooking the Waghur River. Constructed solely with hammer and chisel, these caves served as peaceful retreats for Buddhist monks for nearly nine centuries before being suddenly deserted. They were rediscovered in 1819 by an Army officer from the Madras Regiment of the British Army during a hunting trip. The discovery quickly gained fame, making Ajanta a prominent tourist attraction in India. (Note: Closed on Monday)
- Ellora Caves - Later, visit the Ellora Caves. These caves were carved from the vertical face of the Charanandri hills between the 6th and 10th centuries AD, with work commencing around 550 AD, coinciding with the abandonment of the Ajanta Caves. The Kailash Temple (Cave 16) is the most extraordinary structure, created by the Rashtrakuta dynasty as a temple for Lord Shiva, possibly intended to resemble Mount Kailash, Shiva’s mythical abode. This standalone, multi-level temple complex, carved from a single massive rock, features a gateway, exhibition area, square hall, sanctum sanctorum, and tower, showcasing the brilliance of Dravidian art. The Kailash Temple is a magnificent architectural marvel with impressive spatial effects and grand sculptures. (Note: Closed on Tuesday)
