Ajanta & Ellora Caves - Maharashtra

Located 100 km apart, the Ajanta Caves, containing Buddhist monasteries, and Ellora, famous for its Hindu and Jain temples, are a great way to give schoolgoing kids a practical history lesson. Now declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the area was discovered accidentally by a British hunting party in 1819. Since then magnificent sculptures and cave paintings dating back to 100 BC have been revealed.

At Ajanta, caves for teaching and learning were ornamented by intricate sculptures and exquisite art work. Square dormitory cells are cut into the walls. Ellora’s monumental caves represent the zenith of Indian rock cut architecture. 

Aurangabad is well-connected by rail and air to most parts of the country and taxi tours covering both sights are on offer from there. Quality lodging is easy to come by at Ajanta and Ellora.
