THE STORY
Ellora: a closer look
Ellora brings together rock-cut monuments associated with Buddhist, Hindu and Jain traditions. Its architectural range makes the complex more than a single cave visit. A planned route and interpretation help reveal differences between the monuments.
Mumbai’s neighbourhoods and food, regional crafts and coastal kitchens offer much more than landmark photography. Travellers interested in art may prefer a route built around the cave complexes, while others may favour city and coast.
Before you visit
Opening hours, access, tickets, photography rules and advance arrangements should be checked for your travel dates. Share any mobility or dietary requirements when requesting a programme.
