After couple days in Mumbai I based myself in Aurangabad for a tour of the Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
AJANTA CAVES
Buddhist rock-cut cave temples and monasteries, located near Ajanta village, north-central Maharashtra state, western India, that are celebrated for their wall paintings. The temples are hollowed out of granite cliffs on the inner side of a 70-foot (20-metre) ravine in the Wagurna River valley 65 miles (105 km) northeast of Aurangabad, at a site of great scenic beauty.
BABY TAJ MAHAL, Aurangabad, India
There is a miniature version of the Taj Mahal in Agra, just much smaller and considered a draft of the much larger Taj Mahal.

Ellora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India. It is one of the largest rock-cut monastery-temple cave complexes in the world, featuring Hindu, Buddhist and Jain monuments, and artwork, dating from the 600–1000 CE period. Wikipedia
January 8, 2018. (INDIA, Goa , Anjuna Beach, Market)
Back to Mumbai and caught a flight to Goa. Ride from airport after midnight was long, expensive and pretty sure driver was lost most of the time. I had read that Goa was THE BEACH DESTINATION. The beach was nice and so was the the hostel but seems most come here to do recreational drugs and enjoy the beach. To each their own, not my thing ..... anymore. Unfortunately I prebooked and paid for 2 weeks. But everything worked out great as I got up at 6-7 am everyday, had breakfast and walked the beach. That is also the time when most of the younger travelers were getting back from all night raves. Worked well for everyone. Lol
