Ajanta Ellora Tour
Its timeput your history caps on. The Ajanta Ellora caves are located at two different sites, although within the same region, which leaves you a lot of ground to explore. The Ajanta caves history states that they were made between the second century BCE till 650 or 480 CE, whereas those of Ellora were made between the 5th century CE and 10th century CE. But that’s just the data.These are UNESCO World Heritage Sites and you will love how the caves have retained their allure over innumerable years. You will be intrigued by the sheer craftsmanship on offer and come to think of it- they were supposedly crafted only by hand in those times with just a chisel and hammer for support! This is perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the caves.
