Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The Ajanta Caves are mostly about paintings, and cameras with flashlights are prohibited, but the Ellora Caves are about sculptures. You need a minimum of 2 hours to visit all the caves, with the maximum being a whole day. No eatables are available inside; carry them if you need them. As you have to move under the sun for the maximum amount of time, it is recommended to carry water bottles, hats or umbrellas, and sunglasses.
Ellora Caves are approximately 45–60 minutes drive from Aurangabad City, depending on time. If you start early by 9 a.m., then you can easily visit Bhadra Maruti Temple, Ghrishneshwar Temple, Ellora Caves, have lunch, and finally visit Daulatabad Fort on your return.
Opening time: 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Rs. 40 is the entry ticket. There are 34 caves, but after entry, you first come across cave No. 16, which is the most visited cave. But go to your right side towards Cave No. 1 and start your journey from there towards Cave No. 16. Take maximum time in Cave No. 16. Take pictures from above the temple and also from inside. There is an e-rickshaw available for caves No. 29 to 34 for Rs. 35 per head. The e-rickshaw stand is just near the entry gate. The rickshaw will drop you off at one cave and leave you with other tourists. You took your own time visiting and came back with another e rickshaw.The same thing happens in all these caves. So keep your e-rickshaw ticket with you every time. Don’t dare to go to these caves by foot. These are very long-distance caves; otherwise, you may skip them.

This has to be one of the wonders of the world especially cave 16 is mind blowing. So much history and you can feel it. There are 36 caves and cave 16 has the famous Kailasa temple. Overall a wonderful experience. As there is a lot of walking, take enough water with you.

Location- Ellora is about an hour from Aurangabad.
Takes about 2 to 3 hours to explore from.cave 1 to 30.
Start with 1 to 15 which are caves starting with carving of Buddha and then gradually moves to Hindu gods mostly Shiva . Amazin g.carving of Shiva marriage to Parvati, natraj, Shiva killing a demon, ganesha, durga(very very rare to see a durga carving). Also remember this are age old caves and carved deep inside the rock where light was none or scarce, but still so very well carved.
The last.cave 30 I.think has beautiful large carved sculptures..
There is a beautiful sculpture of brahma, vishnu and Shiva and one of Shiva and Parvati playing dice and u must notice the hand movement of Parvati.
The caves are in 3 sections 1 to 12 or 14 is Buddhist, then Hindu, cave 16 is the kailasa temple ( what a wonder), cave 17 till.the end.moves between Hindu and jain.
You also have a buggee which can take u to cave 30 or bring you back
They charge inr 30 per person

Unlike Ajanta that has plenty of paintings and lesser number of statues, here it's more statues, especially Cave No 16, Kailasa Temple. E-rickshaws are available to transport, as the caves are well spread out into three sections - Hindu, Buddhist and Jain caves. Recommended to use it to visit Jain caves, located about 2 km from main Ellora caves. The caves were open when we reached at 0800h, but the ticket window was not yet open. As we had bought the tickets online, we were able to enter as one of the first few visitors. Arriving early has several advantages, including lesser noise! All monument tickets can be bought online from ASI site. It saves time, as queues could be long. We hired a veteran guide Mr Balwant Shewle (9422204088). He is 78 years old but very knowledgeable and gives adequate time for each of the three segments of the caves - Jain, Buddhist and Hindu sections. He works only through prior appointment. Charges 2500. Carry enough drinking water, a hat/ small umbrella to protect from harsh sun and a small torch to see the dark corners of the caves. About 3-4 hours are sufficient. It has very few cave paintings but they appeared in better shape and colours than in Ajanta. Kalasa Temple is amazing. Keep one hour reserved only for this (Cave No 16)

Over 25 caves with statues and images of three related faiths. Cave 15 is allegedly the biggest monolith in the world. Quite spectacular. Easy to walk around although there is a golf cart on hand. Not as well organised as Ajunta in that no statues are lit.

The caves are under an hour from Aurungabad and roads are fairly ok. The caves open at 6 and it is worth going when they open if you can, to beat the crowds. Ellora is considerably busier (crazy busy) than Ajanta. Cost of the entry ticket - Rs 600 for a foreign national and Rs 35 for Indians. You can buy the tickets online which is Rs 550 but if it is an international account after fees you will be paying more than Rs 600. It is totally worth paying the extra money if you plan to arrive late in the morning as it will be hectic. There will be big queues. Cameras are allowed. The entrance to the site is built in such a way that it takes you first to the Kailasa Temple (cave 16) with other caves on the left and right and some caves much further away. From the entrance to the last cave it is close to 1.5km and we did not want to walk and see all the other caves. The Kailasa Temple is it. The one to see and spend time in. It is out of this world and to imagine how they built it is awe inspiring. It would have been so colourful. Some of the remaining plaster can be seen. The temple has carvings and statues on the roof too and is worth going up to look down on it. After the Kailasa temple the other caves look boring in comparison. On the way out and outside many many shops selling various things including food and drink. When we visited it was hectic and very noisy in the Kailasa temple. For every person interested in architecture this is a must see. The visit was absolutely worth it despite it being a hot day and sweating buckets.

We went there alongwith family. It was a superb experience. Most exciting was these structures were took 200 years to build as per Aurangaba management. On a board it is mentioned that who and when these were build but they have not mentioned that who destroyed these structures.

Beautiful place only if you appreciate the artistry. Guides are mostly unavailable, so I’d suggest you study these structures before visiting. Do not spend time and money on locals who pretend to be guides. This is very close (~500 meters) to Ghrishneshwar Jyotirling; so you may plan your itinerary accordingly. Electric carts are available for the Jain caves for a fare of 30 rupees. Top view of the Kailash temple should not be missed.

A must visit!. The Kailasa temple is spectacular. It's mind blowing how such a monolithic structure was carved using basic tools hundreds of years ago.

You could cover Aurangabad Caves and Biwi ka Makbara comfortably.
We too reached there by 2 pm...
Biwi ka Makbara is open till late evening....
Both these plces are local...
Ellora is next closest caves but requires a lot much time to reach (1 hour) and to explore (minimum 3 hours to explore Hindu and Buddhist Caves only).
Wish you the best...
