Ajanta Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Buses from Aurangabad or Jalgaon will drop you off at the T-junction (where the Aurangabad–Jalgaon Rd meets the road to the caves), 4km from the caves. From here, after paying an ‘amenities’ fee (Rs 5), race through the ‘shopping plaza’ to the departure point for the green-coloured Euro I buses (Rs 6, with AC Rs 10), which zoom down to the caves. Buses return on a regular basis (half-hourly, last bus at 6.15pm) to the T-junction.

During the day all MSRTC buses passing through Fardapur stop at the T-junction. After the caves close you can board buses to either Aurangabad or Jalgaon outside the MTDC Holiday Resort in Fardapur, 1km down the main road towards Jalgaon. Taxis are available in Fardapur; Rs 500 should get you to Jalgaon.
