Overview of the destination
these two places offer an absolutely amazing account of buddhist and jain culture. destination and sight seeing are akin. art and ornamentation, are but of course praiseworthy, the arrangements too. provision for water, drainage, beds have even pillows carved out on them. there are some popular caves but its best if u can see all, only u?ll have to quicken your steps. If you want the fullest experience, pay 5, 10 bucks to the guard at the cave and have him explain its signifance. After seeing ajanta, ellora is no great shake, though if u have the time, do seeFood, sight-seeing and shopping
out and out sight-seeing material. dont ignore the unfinished caves, they're a beauty in their own right. unmissable- shining bead necklace painting and cave 26. Shopping-could bring back a CD for keepsake. Stores outside have a rare collection of encyclopedias and folk literature, makes great reading for kids and adults alike. Awesome hats, woodwork, lamps, bags, jewellery but bargain well Activities & things to do
this site seeing could be really exhaustive, especially the amount of walking it involves. there isnt much other than the caves, except shops and cafeteria (lunch served at ajanta's cafetria serves the palate and stomach quite well); nothing else is required either. Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Its best to take a maharashtra state tourist bus from aurangabad or other towns from where they operate, especially if u're travelling alone. Summer time dont forget to carry a hat and water bottle. hats are available there, but expensive. do buy one if u forget to take along because the heat is killing. keep sipping water as you walk. |
