Better than any Mughal Monument of India.
One of the best places of World!
Pride of all Indians for our ancestors who built this marvel which still amazes generations. Everyone must visit here with the intention to learn and not just have fun and picnic!
Must visit dream site.
Spend about 9 hours to explore fully and 4 hours minimum for hurry
Absolutely loved it here.
Contrary to what I had known earlier, this place is HUGE. There are 34 caves with many having A & B, plus there are caves above the waterfall next to cave 29 that no one visits, but I loved the solitude there. Look out for the Ganesh statue in orange in my pictures.
If you are in good shape and want to spend a good 6 hours (not 2 or 3), Ellora is the place to visit, especially if the weather cooperates.
I walked along the golf cart road till Cave 34, and then took the trail from 34 down.
The Ellora Caves stand as an awe-inspiring testament to human artistry and devotion. These UNESCO World Heritage sites are a mesmerizing blend of rock-cut architecture and intricate sculptures spanning centuries of history. The sheer beauty and craftsmanship evident in each cave, whether Hindu, Jain, or Buddhist, captivate visitors with their detailed carvings, elaborate facades, and serene atmospheres. Exploring the Ellora Caves is a journey through ancient India's cultural richness, leaving one spellbound by its historical significance and architectural marvels.
This place should be in your bucket list.

The caves are divided into three groups representing different religious traditions: Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain. Each group of caves features intricately carved temples, monasteries, and sculptures, reflecting the religious diversity of the region during that time.The Kailash Temple, a monolithic rock-cut structure in Cave 16, stands out as a true marvel of ancient engineering and artistry. The level of detail and scale of this temple is awe-inspiring, and it's one of the highlights of Ellora.
Fantastic experience, cave no. 16 is Kailasa temple and it is to be seen to believe it.. awesome rock cutting n carving.. all caves are worth a visit but keep 3-4 hours and carry a water bottle. Visit between 7-9 am if looking for a less crowded experience..
Beautiful must do once in a lifetime place to visit. The terrain is plain and has wheel chair access everywhere. Which was really nice to see.
The highlight is the Kailash temple which is monolithic structure made from top to bottom. Has beautiful carvings still preserved very well.
The best time to visit is as early as possible. The caves open around 9:30 and we were there at that time. The crowd starts coming in after 11:30. You can experience the peace of the caves before that.
Great place to visit if you love history and have interest. Even if you don't have interest once you will visit this place and feel the vibe there you will start loving this. The caves, the temples the waterfall and many more things. Take at least 3 hrs to cover all the caves. Don't be in rush. Feel the arts.
What an Elegant and beautiful carvings, Amazingly done, it was Wonderful to see all these sculptures. The Whole mountains were carved and made temples, sculptures. Must plan to visit and praise the beauty which we used to read in our school history books.
