02.Day:Ajanta and Ellora -Delhi
Early morning breakfast and full day visit to Ajanta and
Ellora, one of the best-kept secrets in India. Monuments are
proof of high level of ancient Indian architectural and
artistic knowledge and skills and one of the most impressive
and magnificent places to visit in the world.
Ajanta Caves (106 km from Aurangabad) are rock-cut cave
monuments dating from the second century BCE, containing
paintings and sculpture considered to be masterpieces of
both "Buddhist religious art" and "universal pictorial art"
.There are 29 caves (as officially numbered by the
Archaeological Survey of India), excavated in the south side
of the precipitous scarp made by the cutting of the ravine.
They vary from 35 to 110 ft. in elevation above the bed of
the stream.
Ellora caves (30 km from Aurangabad) represent the epitome
of Indian rock-cut architecture. The 34 "caves" - actually
structures excavated out of the vertical face of the
Charanandri hills - comprised of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain
cave temples and monasteries, were built between the 5th
century and 10th century. The 12 Buddhist , 17 Hindu and 5
Jain caves, built in proximity, demonstrate the religious
harmony prevalent during this period of Indian history.
Evening flight to Mumbai (and transfer to International
airport for international departure) or flight to Delhi to
continue with Varanasi- Khajuraho-Agra tour
