Tour Package

Aurangabad to Ellora Caves Bus Rental

Ellora is the closest of the major heritage sites to Aurangabad — around 30 km, roughly 45 minutes by road. The caves span three religions (Hindu, Buddhist and Jain) carved into the same rock face, with the Kailasa Temple as the centerpiece: an entire temple excavated top-down out of a single rock.

Because it's so close, Ellora is easy to combine with Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga in the same trip — many of our customers do both in one day.
