Wonderful and Amazing Sculptures
If you are interested in sculptures then a visit to Ellora caves is a must. The Kailasa temple sculpture is really fascinating. Please note that the caves are closed for general public on Tuesday so plan your visit accordingly.

A trip to Ellora Caves.
It's a marvel in itself. A day long walk around the caves was quite rewarding. Would suggest to visit early morning. It's closed on Tuesdays.

Witness the breathtaking beauty of Ellora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 30km from Aurangabad. The site spans over 2 km and features 34 monasteries and temples carved into a high basalt cliff. Marvel at the uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000, showcasing the rich civilization of ancient India. You can explore sanctuaries dedicated to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, highlighting the diverse religious heritage. It's a clean and serene environment, surrounded by stunning mountain gardens. Entry ticket is Rs. 40, book online to save ₹5 compared to on-site purchases. Plan for a minimum of 3 hours for a comprehensive visit. Wear comfortable shoes suitable for extended walks. Electric vehicle transport is available inside at an extra cost. Drones are not allowed on the premises. Visit during the monsoon to witness beautiful waterfalls, adding an extra layer of enchantment.
