  • One of India's highlights are the Unesco World Heritage cave temples of Ellora and Ajanta.
    Both are just 100 kilometres apart which is ideal for combining them.
    Both these places represent the pinnacle of ancient Indian rock-cut architecture, with the Kalaisa temple at Ellora being world's largest monolithic sculpture. In Ellora, there are a total of 34 caves to visit, most of which we visited.
    Next stop was Ajanta where we admired its renowned frescoes which, despite their age, remain finely preserved!
    Enjoy this one and... be kind, always!

    Who are we?
    We’re An and Yves, a Belgian couple who share a passion for travel en adventure.
    Over the years we took a couple of gap years on different occasions and right now we're travelling the hippie trail, which started on January 1 2023!
    As said this is not our first travel experience but three years ago we started sharing our stories on CZcams and Instagram. There has to be a first time for everything!
    Our goal is to inspire you to follow your passion (big or small) and to see and experience the world with your own eyes.
    By sharing our stories we hope we can inspire one another on their own journeys.

    The kailash temple that you saw is so spectacular because it was carved top down from the basalt formation hill. All the caves and the channels and passages have been carved from top to bottom.

    As ever, I enjoyed to explore the wonders of India in your video. Thanks! BTW, I think you are now getting used to eating rice! As you know, rice is the main staple in Asia continent, from Lebanon to Iran, India, ... to Japan, all rice. This is why diabetes is very prevalent in majority of these countries including Iran (my country). Our rice-centered diet is NOT healthy unfortunately and the only way people can prevent diabetes is to watch their weights and physical activities, just like Japanese. But you don't need to worry, you are not overweight or obese! 😊
