Ajanta and Ellora are two of India’s great works of rock-cut art, and this three-day private trip from Mumbai gives you a practical way to see both without changing hotels each night. Your driver takes you to Aurangabad, waits while you explore, and handles the long road sections.

I like the private car and flexible format, especially if you want to set your own pace inside the caves. I also like that two nights in Aurangabad break up the journey instead of forcing you to make one exhausting day trip from Mumbai. The main drawback is the amount of road time on day one, plus the fact that cave admission and any guide fees are extra.
