India Nepal 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.
