Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga + Ellora Caves + Bibi Ka Maqbara covered in a single day from Shirdi.
incl all — No hidden charges after this
Very early start — 300 km round trip means every hour saved at the front adds a stop.
Reach in time for the 8:30 morning aarti. Sanctum requires men to change into dhoti (temple provides).
Cave 16 (Kailasa) is the must-see — a single rock carved into a full temple. Cave 34 (Jain) is the second stop most yatris make.
Ellora village has several thali restaurants; Bhadra Maruti also nearby with prasadalayas.
The sleeping-Hanuman idol; a rare form. About 15 min from Ellora.
Photo stop + brief walk-through; sits on the road back toward Shirdi.
~150 km, arrives back by 19:30-20:00.
Long day; expect to sleep well.
Cave 16 (Kailasa) has some uphill walking and stairs; caves 1-10 (Buddhist) are more accessible with gentler paths. For seniors we recommend limiting to Cave 16 + the visitor centre; skip 30-34 which involve more climbing.
Indian nationals ₹40, foreign visitors ₹600 (as of 2026). Closed Tuesdays. Camera fee ~₹25 extra for regular cameras.
Not on this package — Ajanta is another 100 km further and needs a full separate day. If you want both, we recommend an overnight stay in Sambhajinagar.
Yes if you enjoy Mughal architecture. It's a modest but well-preserved smaller Taj Mahal, and the gardens are photogenic. Skip if your priority is temples and you're running short on time.
