Ellora

Travel Guide

Kailash, the largest single rock cut temple built during the time of the Rashtrakutas.
Ancient rock cut Temples carves from top to bottom. Excellent carvings in monolith black stone !
It must have taken a very superior level of intellectuals to foresee and execute a grand structure like kailasa temple. 
And each and every corner of this place will make you realise that.
Ellora (Verul) Sambhajinagar
Built during 600 to 1000 CE, Ellora Caves lie in the Sahyadri hills in Aurangabad and is a 2-hour drive from the Ajanta Caves.

10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
The hotel is brand new and the service was excellent. The owner Amol, went extra mile in help booking the rides from airport to hotel and for the local rides. He even tracked the driver early in the morning 5.30am to make sure I reach the airport back on time.
