Embark on a trip to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ajanta Caves, famed for their stunning ancient rock-cut caves and magnificent frescoes, representing Buddhist art from centuries ago.
It's a picturesque drive of about 2 hours from Aurangabad, along well-maintained roads.
After lunch, head to the Ellora Caves, another UNESCO World Heritage site that showcases a unique blend of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain monuments carved into the rock.
Ellora Caves are around an hour's drive from Ajanta, situated conveniently on the same route back to Aurangabad.
Finish your cultural explorations at Bibi Ka Maqbara, affectionately known as the 'Taj of the Deccan', and take in the architectural beauty of this mausoleum.
Bibi Ka Maqbara is less than 30 minutes from the Ellora Caves, making it a perfect final stop.
