Why Split Ajanta and Ellora Across Two Days
Ajanta and Ellora lie in different directions from Aurangabad, and both sites reward unhurried time. Trying to cover both in a single day usually means rushing one or both. This tour spreads them across two days instead — Ajanta gets its own day, Ellora gets its own day, and you're not watching the clock at either site.
How the Two Days Typically Work
Day one is our Ajanta Caves day — out from Aurangabad in the morning, a full day at the caves, and back for the evening. Day two heads to Ellora, and since Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga sits close by, many travellers add it to the same day — see our Ellora Grishneshwar tour for that combination.
Which Way First?
There's no fixed rule. Some prefer getting the longer Ajanta trip done first while they're fresh; others prefer starting local with Ellora, which is a shorter drive. Tell us your total number of days in Aurangabad and we can suggest an order that makes sense for your plan.

What to Know Before Booking
- This is two separate day trips from Aurangabad, not an overnight stay outside the city — you return to your Aurangabad hotel each evening unless you tell us otherwise.
- Fares for a 2-day booking depend on vehicle, dates and exact itinerary — we confirm these with you before booking.
- If you'd also like Daulatabad Fort or Bibi Ka Maqbara added, mention it and we'll help sequence the days.
Extending Further
Have more days in hand? Some travellers extend into a 3-day plan adding Shirdi or Daulatabad Fort. Call us and we'll help you build a realistic multi-day itinerary.
