RMX - Day 6

Route: Ajanta Caves ñ Aurangabad ñ Elora ñ Biwi Ka Maqbara


We head back to Aurangabad - rajesh goes to the Royal Enfield Showroom called cherry corporation. I go hotel hunting. So many hotels - Aurangabad is costly to stay at. Its enroute to both Ajanta and Elora. Had to settle for a dampy room for 800 bucks a night. Not my kind of stay place but what can i do - we could not camp.

CUP's bike is at the service station and we go on my bike to Elora. This place is awesome, we hire a guide who has an autorikshaw for 150 bucks. He thought i was israeli and wanted to charge me 400.

Ellora is made up of Hindu Caves, Buddhist and Jain caves.

My favorite pic is Shiva Parvati on mount kailash and ravan trying to lift it.


CUP was very adventurous and he went exploring the unexplored. He discovered a girl with her top off, making love. The sculptures in the indra Sabha are explicit, maybe they could not wait. He came out screaming - would'nt you ?

We get back to biwi ka maqbara - "the poor man's taj mahal" and i get to photography again

Rajesh's bike is ready. The owner of cherry was really helpful to us, treated us to some aerated juice. That night we head to a place called Hotel Sagar at aurangabad. The owner Junaid is a hard core biker and wanted us to come over there. I feated on egg biryani - Awesome Must Have!

We ended it by a proper nawaabi paan specially made for yours truely "ADY BABA" by that panwaala.
