We did not have time to cover 2 sites on separate days so opted for 1 trip. It was a long day due to distance between sites but our guide made the journey interesting and although we were caved out by the end we did see what we wanted and guide was very informed about the story in the paintings.
It's a long day to visit both Ellora and Ajanta sites, but the selection of caves on this tour hit the high notes. I was well-pleased with my visit.
We wanted to do both caves in one day because we were on a tight schedule. The guide was excellent and we did not feel like we missed out on anything.
