If can do normal walking you can visit .From cave number _1 to 32 it will take 2- 3 hours . InYou can take rest and walk again. From the entrance it takes 7 minutes to reach upto cave number 16 wjere Temple Kailasa is located .You can very well visit this .

Ajanta caves are closed on Mondays, Ellora caves are closed on Tuesdays

If you can walk 50 minutes a day and have no knee pains, you should be able to do it. The steps at Aurangabad caves are steep, it will not be a cakewalk but very doable. If you own a hiking stick, do take it along. Gives good support especially for the journey down. Climb at your own pace taking breaks frequently.

I think you can make this trip. For me the main problem was not the stairs and not the long trip. The main problem was the temperature. I was in the end of March, it was really hot !!! It was 40C !!! Surrounded by stone, it seemed +48C. Some caves you have to enter bare foot. You can take a rest in the caves. It is cool and very quite inside. Take water. Take your time. Don't rush, and you will enjoy it )) I had a really good time )))

One day may not be enough to see all places. I took auto Day1: Daultabad, caves, jyotirlinga, hanuman temple, aurangzeb mazar day 2 : bibi ka maqbara, pan chakki, buddhist & jain caves, soneri mahal , zoo costs around 700 rs each day

My husband and I visited Ellora and Ajanta caves in October 2017. The Ellora Caves are an hour and Ajanta are two hours away from Aurangabad by car. We had arranged car and guides before we left Australia with an excellent Tour company in Mumbai. Highly recommend you (google) contact Abbas at India Someday, the company is very well run and Abbas will go out of his way to deliver for you. Prices are very good and wont break the budget! Enjoy, you are in for a fabulous time.

please allocate a full day for Ajanta. Accommodation in Ajanta is best at MTDC Fardapur (if you have your own vehicle) - Fardapur has a canteen of its own , Another MTDC which is nearer to the caves parking slot is Ajanta T junction , but lack of canteen facility might be a problem , however eating nearby wont be much of an issue. So for convenience choose T-junction.Bookings can be made thru MTDC online booking. Make sure that you consider Monday close for Ajanta. Ellora specially the Kailash temple (Kailashe Kelenkari) will charm you the most .Ellora is closed on Tuesdays(plz check it out). Other main sites Daulatabad fort , (trekking involved about 1000 steps)will rinse you out , we avoided(best photography post lunch) . plz attempt a silhouette session at the Biwi ka Maqbara and return to Hotel. Best plan, from Kolkata choose Sai Express (weekly) to shirdi directly. Rest the night I would advice MTDC again , otherwise Hotel Saiesh , 100 mts within Sai baba's mandir. plz choose an early slot for darshan , you may register and book at online sai org in , do not attempt accommodation there , deposit your camera and mobiles at counters outside the mandir. On a normal day , darshan might take 3-4 hrs complete , including shopping. Move out by evening to Aurangabad . It is nothing wrong if you reach the T-junction Ajinta , by 8.00 pm. Rest for the night. Next day attempt ajanta , rest the night at ajanta, Next day morning get off to Ellora - Ghirineshwar mandir- daulatabad - Miwi ka Maqbara - Aurangabad Hotel (Panchavati a cheap option). Next day take Shivneri (Volvo AC) to Mumbai , else plan your train journey accordingly... Happy Journey..... If you are adventuring and like the monsoons then do not forget to visit between 15th August & Vishwakarma Puja...Greenery in Maharashtra with loads of "jharnas" is worth enjoying and you will experience a different canvas altogether.
