Direct answer: Yes — we run a private, chauffeur-driven taxi from Aurangabad to Ajanta Caves and back the same day. You get your own car and driver, choose your pickup time, and pay a fare confirmed with you in advance based on vehicle, date and itinerary. Call or WhatsApp 9823475001 to check availability.
What This Service Is
If you want to visit Ajanta Caves without joining a group tour or figuring out local transport yourself, this is a straightforward private taxi from Aurangabad to Ajanta and back the same day. The car and driver are yours for the trip — you're not sharing seats or waiting on anyone else's schedule.
Pickup Locations
We pick up from your hotel in Aurangabad, directly from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport, or from Aurangabad Railway Station if that's where your day starts. Tell us your exact location when you enquire and we'll confirm pickup timing around it.
Route & Realistic Journey Planning
From Aurangabad, it's a drive out toward the Ajanta hills, with your driver familiar with the road and the usual rhythm of the day — when it gets busier, where a stop makes sense, and roughly how much time people spend walking through the caves. We don't quote a fixed distance or drive time here since it depends on your exact pickup point, traffic and road conditions on the day — we'll give you a realistic estimate when you enquire.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical Ajanta day from Aurangabad runs: early departure from your hotel or pickup point, the drive out to the caves, a few hours walking through the cave complex at a comfortable pace, a break for food or rest, and the return drive in the afternoon or early evening. We're happy to adjust the pace — earlier start for photography light, or a later, more relaxed start — based on what you tell us.
Who Books This
This page is for a straightforward one-way-and-back Ajanta day, as opposed to combining it with Ellora or extending into a multi-day trip. It works well for solo travellers and couples wanting flexibility, families who'd rather not manage public transport with children, senior citizens who prefer a private, unhurried pace, and small groups wanting a single vehicle for everyone.
What Is Normally Included
The confirmed fare covers the vehicle, driver, fuel and driver allowance for the agreed Ajanta day trip. Toll, parking and cave entry tickets are typically paid separately as they occur — we'll tell you what to expect before you book.
Vehicle Options
Sedan
4 passengers · 2 medium bags
Ertiga
6 passengers · 2–3 bags
Innova Crysta
6–7 passengers · 4 bags
Tempo Traveller
12 / 17 seater · group travel
A sedan is enough for two to four people. Families often prefer the Ertiga for the extra space, and the Innova Crysta adds comfort if it's a long day out. Not sure which fits your group? Call us and we'll help you decide.
Which Vehicle Fits Your Ajanta Trip?
| Vehicle | Group Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|

| Ertiga | 5–6 | Small families |
| Innova Crysta | 6–7 | Full-day comfort |
| Tempo Traveller | 12–17 | Groups |
Guidance for Families, Children & Senior Citizens
Ajanta involves a fair amount of walking across the cave complex, so pace matters more than speed for children and older travellers. Mention any mobility concerns when you enquire — we can plan a slower schedule with more breaks, and suggest a larger vehicle like the Innova Crysta for extra comfort over the full day.
Luggage & Seating Guidance
If you're heading to Ajanta directly from the airport or station with luggage, let us know your bag count so we can suggest a vehicle with enough boot space — the Innova or Innova Crysta is usually a better fit than a sedan once you're carrying more than two medium bags.
Practical Local Travel Tips
- Carry water and comfortable walking shoes — the cave complex involves a fair amount of walking.
- Mornings tend to be cooler and less crowded.
- Keep small cash on hand for entry tickets.
Why Travellers Choose a Private Cab Over a Group Tour
A private taxi means no waiting for a bus to fill up, no fixed group pace, and no missing your own photo stop because the group has moved on. For a site like Ajanta where the walking and viewing time genuinely varies person to person, that flexibility tends to matter.
Booking Process
- Call, WhatsApp, or fill in the form below with your date, pickup point and group size.
- We suggest a vehicle and confirm the fare with you.
- Your driver coordinates the exact pickup time the day before or morning of travel.
