Location & Ways To Reach
Ajanta Ellora caves are situated in Northern Maharashtra which is around 250 miles (400 kilometres) from Mumbai. The 2 cave sites are two hours away from each other. Not that you need to worry since they are amongst the most popular attractions in India and are thus accessible through several means of transportation. Here is a brief guide to help you explore hassle free:

By train: The closest transportation service can be found via the Aurangabad railway stations. The caves of Ellora are only at a 45 minutes distance while those in Ajanta are 1.5 hours away. You can travel from Mumbai till Aurangabad in just 6 or 7 hours.
By air: You can travel from your city or country to the Aurangabad airport by air. After that, the caves stand at a distance of 100 kms from the airport.
By road: Several roads and highways connect Aurangabad to the neighbouring cities including Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. You may take a bus or travel in your car all the way to the caves.
After you reach Aurangabad, you can either conveniently rent a car or hire a taxi to drive you to and from the cave sites. There are daily inexpensive and guided tour buses issued by the government from Aurangabad as well that you can hop on to receive the experience of a virtual Ajanta Ellora travel guide. They are comfortable Volvo buses that are air-conditioned so no need to worry about the heat or pack dollops of sunscreen! You can book the tickets in advance at the bus stands.


About Ajanta Caves:-
The 30 caves at Ajanta lie to the north of Aurangabad in the Indhyadri range of Western Ghats. The caves, famous for their temple architecture and many delicately drawn murals, are located in a 76 m high, horseshoe-shaped escarpment overlooking the Waghora (tiger) River. The Ajanta Caves are listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Site.
After centuries of neglect and desertion, the caves were accidentally discovered by John Smith, a member of a British hunting party in 1819 CE. With growing popularity within a few years of its rediscovery the once nondescript ravine became a soft target for unscrupulous treasure hunters. Before long, however, Indian antiquarian, archaeologist and architectural historian James Fergusson took a keen interest in their study, preservation and categorisation. It was he who commissioned Major Robert Gill to make reproductions of the paintings and together with James Burgess also numbered the caves.

Major Gill worked on 30 large scale canvases from 1844 to 1863 CE. These were displayed at the Crystal Palace in Sydenham, however, most of these paintings were soon destroyed in a fire in 1866 CE. John Griffiths, principal of the Bombay School of Art, was next commissioned to make copies of the paintings from 1872 CE onwards. It took him thirteen years to complete the project, but disaster struck yet again and well over a hundred canvases were incinerated in 1875 CE at the Imperial Institute.
