We stayed at Akash's place (he has a homestay on AirBnB) and really enjoyed it; we felt invited into the family, and saw quite a bit of Akash and Vincent, who even organised tickets for a great concert that happened to be on during our visit. It wqs great to have someone to chat with in the morning. The homestay is in the city, so transport everywhere is fairly easy, and, incredibly for India, it is really quiet!! If you want to stay there, I think best is to WhatsApp Akash on +91 78753 77569. Aside from that, with Vincent they run a travel business specialised in the state. There is so much more to see around Aurunagad than just Ellora and Ajanta....you could probably spend a week, and have a varied and fun trip. Aurungabad isnt so bad also to get to; there are flights non-stop to Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderbad; but plenty of trains too, and, if you are coming from abroad, they'll organise a train ticket for you (as that is so difficult to do from abroad). Aside from being professional, they are also very nice people and I really recommend that you work with them.Jane S

We had an excellent trip with Akvin Tours and in particular Afzal our driver to Ellora and Ajunta in Sept 2022. The road to Ajunta is still under construction so its a long journey but definitely worth it - the caves are wonderful. And at Ellora the Kailasa temple (cave 16) is up there with Angkor Wat IMO even though its not as famous. Note that one of the good things about this tour is that they sort the tickets out for you in advance, most of the other tours I looked at do not do this. We visited off peak but in peak time avoiding the queue to buy tickets would be an excellent advantage. Our driver -Afzal went above and beyond his duties in trying to find us a cash machine that would allow us to withdraw money from UK banks , we must have tried about 6 (finally Axis bank came up trumps). Both he and his boss Akash were super helpful all the time even 2 days after the tour when I was confused about entries in my bank account from shops and the cash withdrawals.Federico S

Akvin tours handles your travel program with professionalism and creativity. We had a delightful time as the guide, Pankaj, was very informative and knowledgable and Akash, manager of the company, was most helpful and pleasant. They may our visit to Aurangabad and the sights a delightful one.

Accès facile à Aurangabad par avion depuis Bombay , cette région mérite le détour! la route pour les grottes d'Ajanta est longue et un peu pénible ( 3h !!), mais une fois sur place , ça vaut la peine! Pour les grottes d'Ellora , accès bcp plus facile et c'est vraiment impressionant! le plus est évidemmt amené par notre guide français Vincent dont les explications pointues mais accessibles nous ont ouverts le monde du bouddhisme , hindouisme etc ...tout cela de manière très conviviale et fort sympathique !
