Ellora caves were hand-sculpted between 6th<\/sup>\u00a0to 8th<\/sup>\u00a0century and consist of various temples dedicated to Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist Gods. The first place we visited were the Ellora caves. We took a local bus from Aurangabad to Ellora. The Ellora caves were huge. The main attraction of the Ellora caves is the Kailash temple located in the middle. It has been carved out of a single rock.<\/p>\n

Hampi was\u00a0the most unique\u00a0place we visited in our trip. It was surrounded by small hills, made entirely of big rocks with no binding material between them. It feels like they were kept one over other by someone.<\/p>\n

When we left for the ram\u00a0setu, The bus dropped us 5 km away from the ram\u00a0setu\u00a0point. There were no means of transport to that point so we had to walk all the way. We reached the end and found that we were so close to Sri Lanka that we could get their mobile network. We were tired now and did not want to walk all the way back. We were lucky to find a group of workers who had come with their sumo. They dropped us back to the bus stop. We learned that however difficult it may seem, you just need to have the courage to make the first move. Things work out in the end.<\/p>\n

In Rishikesh, we ended our 51-day expedition with a final dip in the holy river Ganga.<\/p>\n
