These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff. Ellora, with its uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000, brings the civilization of ancient India to life. Not only is the Ellora complex a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India. The Ellora caves are located approx 25 km from Aurangabad. The approach road is good. One passes the Daulatabad fort on the way. There are 34 caves and a lot of walking to be done from cave to cave and within the caves so comfortable footwear is a must though one can also go by

Cave 29 is the water fall cave. From Aurangabad, one can visit along with Ghrushneshwar (Ellora) & bhadra maruti (Khuldabad) temples & famous Daulatabad (Devgiri) fort.
