Premium Ajanta Ellora Tour Package: Discover Ancient Rock-Cut Marvels
The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ajanta and Ellora Caves in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Maharashtra, represent the absolute pinnacle of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture. From the awe-inspiring monolithic architecture of the Kailash Temple at Ellora to the world-famous, pristine Buddhist frescoes of Ajanta, millions of global travelers visit this historic circuit every year.
However, because the two cave complexes are located in completely opposite directions—Ajanta is roughly 100 km north of the city, while Ellora is 30 km northwest—coordinating public transport, timing, and local drivers can become incredibly exhausting.
With Ellora Taxi, you skip the stress. Our private Ajanta Ellora tour packages are meticulously crafted for international tourists, corporate travelers, families, and senior citizens looking for a seamless, comfortable, and deeply enriching heritage journey.
Why Our Private Tour Package Outperforms Public Transport
Attempting to cover this vast heritage circuit using local buses or unverified street cabs often results in missed timings, hidden charges, and rushed sightseeing. Choosing a dedicated, private tour package ensures complete control over your day.
- Doorstep Hotel Pickups: Seamless coordination directly from Aurangabad Airport (IXU), Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Railway Station, or your local hotel.
- No Rushed Timelines: Spend as much time as you need capturing the perfect photographs or admiring Cave 1 at Ajanta and Cave 16 (Kailash Temple) at Ellora.
- Local Professional Drivers: Our drivers act as local route navigators. They know the best roadside restaurants, cleanest highway rest stops, and optimal highway shortcuts to save you hours of travel time.
- Clean, Climate-Controlled Fleet: All vehicles undergo rigorous cleaning and maintenance cycles, ensuring functional AC systems for the warm Maharashtra afternoons.
⚠️ Crucial Travel Note: Cave Closing Days
Please plan your arrival dates carefully before booking train or flight tickets:
• Ajanta Caves are strictly CLOSED every Monday.
• Ellora Caves are strictly CLOSED every Tuesday.
Our custom packages are designed around these schedules so you never encounter a locked gate.

Best Months to Plan Your Ajanta Ellora Caves Tour
October to March (Winter Season): This is the peak and most pleasant window for sightseeing. The ambient weather is perfectly cool, which makes walking up the stone stairs and trails highly manageable.
June to September (Monsoon Season): If you want to witness nature at its finest, visit during the monsoons. The landscapes turn intensely green, and natural waterfalls cascade directly over the structural rims of the Ellora and Ajanta valleys—creating an unforgettable visual experience.
