From the very first moment it was obvious to me that the day is going to be memorable for the years to come in my life. The tour with Mr. Amod Basole was a real experience; experience of something entirely new and at that time unknown. The knowledge shared by the tour guide accumulated with the knowledge already obtained in the past and it translated into not only in a physical, but a spiritual journey as well. Highly recommended for everyone who has a rooted interest in exploring beyond what the eyes can see and the ears can hear. Namaste!

Friday Noon-Pune to Ajanta – Stay at MTDC Ajanta Saturday-Ajanta, Daultabad fort, Panchakki, Bibi ka Makbara, CH. Sambhaji Nagar city, Stay at Ginger, CH. Sambhaji Nagar Sunday- Grishneswar Jyotirlinga Temple, Ellora back to Pune. We started our journey from Pune around noon on Friday, it takes 8 hours to reach Ajanta. Road is good & travelled via samrudhi stretch of Shirdi-Aurangabad. We stayed at MTDC, Ajanta T junction, this hotel is next to Ajanta bus stand where you get buses to reach Ajanta caves (you can't take your vehicle at top). There are only 4 rooms to offer and we reached around 8.30 PM so bit lonely that time. But location is good & you only realized that in morning. There is no canteen but you can order food from another MTDC hotel & they will deliver to you. Next morning, we visited Ajanta caves, it takes 2-3 hrs to see all the caves & paintings. If you are interested in art it mesmerize you otherwise you get bored. 14 caves are open to public & 5 caves important to see. Once you get down, there is one cafe where you get nice lunch. Next we headed to Daultabad or Deogiri fort, 3 hr drive from Ajanta, this fort used to capital of Yadav dynasty, there is not much to see only one canon placed at top of fort. You have to climb 750 steps to see that but we did that & enjoy also. Then we headed toward CH. Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad) to see Panchakki &Bibi ka Makbar. It takes one hour to reach city from Daultabad. we felt panchakki is waste & if you have seen Taj Mahal which we did then Bibi ka Makbara is disappointed. After day's exertion we checked into Ginger Hotel, one can stay near Ellora, but you have limited options, city offers you lots of options. We want to enjoy biryani & pan so it nice to stay in city, we had dinner at Great Sagar. Restaurant is good & it serves biryani & dessert. We try pan at famous Tara pan center, it is nice experience. Ginger stay is comfortable. Next day we visited Grishneswar Jyotirlinga Temple, male needs to take off upper cloths to take darshan in mandap so make sure your attire is like that. This is one of Jyortilinga so you expect lot of crowds on weekends. Last destination is Ellora caves, it is just one km from temple. There are 34 caves to see but 4 caves are important. Good thing at Ellora is you have electric cart to see 3 important caves which far from main gate. The fourth cave no 16 which has Kailasa, the largest monolithic temple is at main gate. Normally it takes 2 hours to see Ellora. After 2-1/2 day we headed back to Pune, with lots of memories & pics. One can start journey on Saturday morning but it is quite exhausting if you drive your own & then walk to see caves & fort.

Guide was excellent. We were taken to the caves with detailed and passionate descriptions and explanations. Also surprised about the Fort and the "2nd Taj Mahal"

Mr. Pankaj was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge of both the Ajanta & Ellora Caves. The professionalism and passion was clearly evident.

We had a 1.5 day tour with the first day Ajanta Caves and the second day Ellora Caves. Pankaj was our government approved tourguide. He had a lot of knowledge and could passionately tell good stories about the caves. He adjusted the tour timings according to our schedule, which was quite convenient. The nature surroundings of the caves were very beautiful in the monsoon season. One thing to improve is that sometimes the tourguide gave a bit too much information.

This was a fantastic tour of Ajanta and Ellora! Mr Pankaj was a great tour guide who knew so much about the caves and region. I appreciated his deep knowledge and perspective, and the way he shared the caves' history through stories. I highly recommend booking with him! The first day we left Aurangabad early to beat the heat and crowds. It was great being at Ajanta with no crowds and to experience the acoustics and sereneness of the temple caves. Ellora was more crowded as it's closer to Aurangabad, but still stunning nonetheless. The communication with Travel Greed and Mr Pankaj was smooth and I felt well taken care of the entire trip. It was my first domestic trip in India and a great introduction to this wonderful country. If I come back, I'd love to see the caves and Ajanta valley after monsoons when the area is green and lush. If you go during Indian summer (April/May/June), pack a lot of water, sunscreen, and loose clothing!

Our guide Mr Amod Bhasole, is the guide one can get to visit Aurangabad, Ajanta and Ellora Caves. We have never met a guide like him. He had a great experience after a very long time. And the trip was arranged very well.

It was a great trip. Thanks to our tour organiser - Travel Greed Tourism and our guide - Pankaj Kanade- was very knowledgeable and ensured all our questions were answered. We highly recommend him. His organisation of the day made it possible for us to enjoy all of the highlights. TravelGreed Tourism was great to work with and easy to approach & accommodate.

Although I'd been to Ajantha and Ellora before, this time with Travelgreed, i got to know what the place is really. Luckily due to covid restrictions there was not much crowd and that turned as a boon... Mr. Hrushi who is the main man of travelgreed was very polite and always available on phone for questions. Since we had a 6 yo with us, he planned the tour keeping that in mind. We got the contact number of our tour guide Mr. Pankaj, a day before which helped us with the nitty-gritty. We picked him up en-route so that we could have a chat with him on the way about the place. Pankaj is a very humble and knowledgeable person who bowled us over with his knowledge about Ajantha so much so that we couldn't wait to reach and start the tour. On reaching, after getting the tickets, we started the tour. Mr. Pankaj was very elaborate and more importantly keen to answer our questions. He did not rush us when we asked questions or felt like spending some more time at a particular cave. Although my wife is a heritage conservationist, she felt enlightened by the information Mr. Pankaj gave us about the place. You know you are with the right guide, when in a rarity he'd say "I'll get back to you on this as i am not an expert on this particular subject." And he did get back to us with answers. Unfortunately we are often used to tour guides who would talk like a recorded cassette looping information and if you cross question them or interrupt would lose their thing. Mr. Pankaj on the other hand not only was an encyclopedia on the place but knew names from the heritage or archeological circles within India which shows his outreach. He is MA (History) for the records. We enjoyed every bit of the guided tour as I believe, a place can come alive only when you have the perspective. And ours was Mr. Pankaj. When i speak so highly about the guide, you know the person who hires such a qualified person must be from a different place. He was kind to visit us at our hotel in Aurangabad after we finished the tour to check if all went well. We went by our own car, but I'm more than sure Hrushi can work out the logistics for you as also the hotel booking. Since he is from Aurangabad, he'd suggest you best hotels to stay according to your budget. In a nutshell, JUST CALL HIM when you plan your visit and let him take care of you. A BIG thumbs-up to team Travelgreed...

The trip was well advised, with good guide and driver. The conduct was professional and schedules were punctual with enough room for personalisation to accommodate interests. Had randomly stumbled upon them on tripadvisor and trusted its reviews. No disappointment at all.

Our entire trip went very smoothly and nearly 100% as planned. There were so many enjoyable moments because of Hrushi. Hrushi was very helpful. We visited ELLORA , AJANTA, GRISHNESHWAR , BI BI KA MAQBARA and many places. Thank you so much for such wonderful experience in aungabad. We had great time. Highly recommend everyone ..

Mr.Hrushi helped us to plan the Ajantha Ellora visits through remote calls and provided us valuable guidance. We did the Ajantha day tour. We were sufficiently warned that the road to Ajantha from Aurangabad was not good. The experience did exceed our expectations:-) It was worse, the road was really really bad despite the warning. The experience was breathtaking, the setting, the architectural brilliance and the art itself. The three dimensional frescoes were mind blowing considering the time frame. The guide (Mr.Madhu) was courtesous and knew the facts. While it was Ok for Indian audience the accent, English and story telling was difficult to follow for a Western audience.

We had booked a 2 day private tour with travel greed after reading their reviews on TripAdvisor. The experience was good and did not disappoint. Mr Hrushi who owns the travel company was in touch through email and WhatsApp from the beginning. He sent us the name of the driver(Raju) who would pick us from the airport and take us around, a day before we landed in Aurangabad. The guide allocated to us for both the days(Mr Pankaj) was knowledge, patient and with good communication skills. We found that the tour was not rushed and there was plenty of opportunities to take essential breaks. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and would certainly recommend.

We throughly enjoyed our two day visit to Ajanta and Ellora. The carvings, paintings and frescoes are all magnificent and our guide, Mr Bankaj, was very knowledgeable. He did all possible to help us enjoy our trip, given the time constraints we had, due to our flight schedule. The road to Ajanta is under construction and takes some time and the site is closed on Monday, two important factors to consider when planning your trip. Regardless of the long travel time to get there, it was worth the visit. My only suggestion to TravelGreed is that they make it easier to communicate by WhatsApp, prior to our arrival, so that we can reconfirm our tour.

We had an excellent trip to Ajanta and Ellora with Travelgreed. Upon our request we had a pickup (and drop) from Mumbai to Aurangabad (around 8 hours by car) with an excellent driver (mr. Laxman). Ajanta is really a gem, unbelievable. Yea the road to Ajanta is quite bad, but its worth the effort. Ellora is really nice to see, a little bit more crowd then Ajanta though. Mr. Pankaj is a good guide, know a lot of Ajanta. Mr. Siroj did his best to explain the site of Ellora. Communication with the head office went very well by email. If I had to do a suggestion for improvement, it would by communication by WhatsApp orso. Thats even more quick. To conclude: I would highly recommend these guys!
