About World Heritage Caves Tour
Situated outside the city of Aurangabad (whose airport offers flights to and
from Mumbai), 400km northeast of Bombay, are the caves of Ellora. They constitute
one of the most beautiful expressions of the art of the Indian Middle Ages,
and are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They are noteworthy as three
major Indian religions have laid joint claim to the caves peacefully since they
were created. These breathtaking caves are definitely worth visiting for their
remarkable reliefs, sculptures and architecture.
The buddhist caves of Ajanta are situated 100km northeast of Ellora. These magnificent
caves containing carvings that depict the life of Buddha have also been designated
as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They date from around 200 B.C. and their carvings
and sculptures are considered to be the beginning of classical Indian art.
