bluecraneWorld Heritage Tour - Aveda Grottoes India has many caves belonging to the world heritage, Aveda Grottoes should be the most famous of them. [Location] It is located in the mountains of more than 100 kilometers north and east of Orangabad City. It can be reached by bus or chartered car or self-driving. The road conditions are poor and it takes about three hours. The rest station is far from the city and about half an hour from the scenic spot, so be prepared when you leave. [Tickets] Foreigners 600 rupees, 20 rupees/person tax between entering the parking lot, 20 rupees/person one-way shuttle bus from the parking lot to the scenic spot [Business hours] Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00-17:30 [Play route] The parking lot to the Jingjiao car ride area has to pass through a shopping area, Hawkers will tirelessly follow the peddling crystals. Buy tickets in cash before going to Jingjiao. After getting off the bus, go through a hall and go to the ticket purchase window. You can explain, one or two thousand rupees, according to the number of people and the length of the explanation. No Chinese service. After entering the scenic spot, follow the horseshoe-shaped road to circle counterclockwise, that is, from 1 cave to 26 caves. It is recommended to go back to the middle section after walking, there are steps down, cross the river, and go up to the opposite pavilion (it is said that the British soldiers found the location of the Aveda Grottoes back then), and enjoy the panoramic view, cool breeze, and the scenery is good. [Feature recommendation] The murals here are colorful and bold, the sculptures, the medicine fork women are full of fat buttocks, the three-way curved posture is very flattering, many flying sky are men and women flying in pairs, but not as light as our Sui Tang Feitian, but greasy together, low-altitude skimming feeling. The murals of the 1st and 2nd caves are colorful, and the characters are meticulously depicted. The 10th, 19th and 26th caves are three sub-gauge caves. Such a cave-shaped system is not in Dunhuang, but Dunhuang has a "Chineseized sub-gauge" that is the central tower column cave, where you can see the source. The sculptures of the porch and the pillars, the top of the caves, etc. are very exquisite, and even dynamic. [Note] - with flashlight: India's grottoes are relatively large, and the mobile phone light is basically useless - you can take pictures in the cave, please must turn off the flashlight - the murals are so beautiful, how can you bear to hurt them? Let our children have the opportunity to see beauty too! -Some people on duty in the grottoes guard themselves, give a 10 rupee, 20 rupees will remove the sticks blocking the Buddha's temple, let you go in and take pictures casually, personally do not recommend this, love cultural relics, everyone has responsibility - most of the grottoes have to take off their shoes into the inside, it is recommended to bring thick socks, the gap between the holes is short, Just walk with socks and save shoes. - Shoes off at the door, if not super expensive shoes, everyone is a tourist, no one will steal (at least my friend Nike is no problem). The entrance of the 1st and 2nd caves is because the tourists have just arrived and the viewing time is long, so the shoes are concentrated, and some locals have opened 400 rupees to help us look at the shoes. Fortunately, I refused because I didn't need it at all. -Monkeys are a lot and quick, but more polite than the monkeys of Mount Emei, will not be hard to grab, but the food is better hidden, once seen, will be as tireless as the vendor followed with food.
