Ajanta trip planner

World-famous for its spellbinding prayer halls and cave temples carved into a horseshoe-shaped rock face, Ajanta lies in a mountainous region of a remote river valley. A listed World Heritage Site, these secluded caves had been long abandoned by the Buddhist monks who created them around the 2nd century BCE, before they were uncovered almost 1,500 years later by a British officer in a tiger hunt. Ajanta holidays draw a growing number of visitors interested in discovering some of the finest and oldest Buddhist art. A trip to Ajanta reveals an amazing art gallery of architecture, sculptures, and wall paintings that shocked Victorian sensibilities at the time they were rediscovered. With the Inspirock online itinerary creator, Ajanta and other destinations across the globe can be made central to your personalized travel plans.
