Direct answer: Yes — we run a private, chauffeur-driven taxi from Aurangabad to Ellora Caves and back the same day, with the option to combine Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga or Daulatabad Fort. Call or WhatsApp 9823475001 with your travel date and group size to check availability and fare.
What This Service Is
A private taxi from Aurangabad to Ellora Caves, with your driver waiting while you explore and bringing you back the same day. Ellora is closer to Aurangabad than Ajanta, which is why it's commonly paired with a couple of nearby stops rather than kept as a single-site day.
Pickup Locations
We pick up from your hotel in Aurangabad, from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport, or from Aurangabad Railway Station. Tell us where your day starts and we'll plan the pickup accordingly.
Route & Realistic Journey Planning
Ellora is generally the shorter of the two main cave routes from Aurangabad, which is part of why it pairs naturally with nearby stops. We don't quote a fixed distance or duration here since actual travel time depends on your pickup point, traffic and road conditions — we'll walk you through realistic timing when you enquire.
Suggested Itinerary
A common structure: morning departure, time exploring the Ellora cave groups (Buddhist, Hindu and Jain sections), followed by Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga for darshan if that's part of your plan, and the return drive. If you're adding Daulatabad Fort too, it's usually tackled earlier in the day since it involves an uphill walk.
Why Ellora Is Often Combined
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga sits close to Ellora, and many travellers add it to the same day's plan — see our Ellora Grishneshwar tour. Daulatabad Fort is also along a similar direction if you have a bit more time; our Ellora Grishneshwar Daulatabad tour covers that fuller circuit.
Who Books This
This straightforward Ellora-only page suits travellers who prefer to keep the day simple — perhaps because they're visiting Grishneshwar separately, senior citizens or families wanting a lighter day than Ajanta, or because they'd rather spend unhurried time at Ellora itself without adding stops.
What Is Normally Included
The confirmed fare covers the vehicle, driver, fuel and driver allowance for your agreed Ellora day. Toll, parking and cave entry tickets are usually paid separately as they occur.

Guidance for Families, Children & Senior Citizens
Ellora's caves are spread across a distance, and adding Grishneshwar means a temple visit with possible queue time. If you're travelling with children or senior citizens, mention it when booking so we can pace the day with enough rest between stops.
Luggage & Seating Guidance
Coming straight from the airport or station with luggage? Let us know your bag count so we can suggest a vehicle with enough boot space for the day.
Practical Local Travel Tips
- Ellora's cave complex is spread out, so plan for a fair amount of walking between sections.
- If visiting Grishneshwar, dress modestly and carry a bag for footwear left at the entrance.
- Mornings are generally cooler and less crowded.
Why Travellers Choose a Private Cab
With Ellora often combined with Grishneshwar or Daulatabad, a private car lets you adjust the order and pace as the day goes — something a fixed-schedule tour can't offer.
