Frequently Asked Questions: Ajanta Ellora Taxis

What days are Ajanta and Ellora Caves closed to visitors?
Ajanta Caves are strictly closed on Mondays, while Ellora Caves are closed on Tuesdays. When planning your 2-day itinerary from Sambhajinagar, schedule your visit to avoid these respective weekly holidays.
Can we visit both Ajanta and Ellora Caves in a single day?
We strongly advise against attempting both in one single day because Ajanta is 100 km northeast of Sambhajinagar (approx. 2.5 hours each way) and requires 4-5 hours of walking, while Ellora is 30 km northwest and requires 3-4 hours. A relaxed 2-day tour ensures you can thoroughly appreciate the artistry without exhaustion.

Our Ellora Caves day taxi package includes pickup from your hotel or airport, travel to Ellora Caves (Kailash Temple), visit to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga, Daulatabad Fort, and Bibi Ka Maqbara, followed by comfortable evening return drop.
What is the taxi fare from Sambhajinagar to Ajanta Caves?
Round-trip taxi fares for a full-day Ajanta Caves trip typically start from ₹2,800 to ₹3,200 for a comfortable sedan (Dzire) and ₹4,000 to ₹4,800 for MPVs (Ertiga / Innova Crysta), covering approximately 220 km of highway driving plus waiting charges.
