Highly recommend Mr. Bharat Joshi. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended – Exceptional Ellora Caves Tour Guide! Our visit to the Ellora Caves was truly unforgettable, thanks to our incredible guide! Extremely knowledgeable and passionate, he brought every cave and carving to life with his fantastic storytelling and great sense of the art with some added small bits of humor. His explanations reflected deep expertise — no surprise, given his Ph.D. background — yet he made everything so engaging and easy to understand. What stood out most was his humble, courteous, and genuine nature. His lively personality made the tour both educational and thoroughly entertaining. It was heartwarming to see so many staff members greet him warmly along the way — a clear sign of the respect he’s earned over the years. If you’re visiting Ajanta-Ellora, don’t think twice — he’s the guide you absolutely must book! 100% recommended.

If you want a unique experience in India definitely check out Bharat Joshi. We had a day at the Ellora Caves and learnt so much about the history of India and how rich the past has been. He provides all you want from a guide- knowledge, empathy and consideration. I recommend him highly.
Abhijat
We had a wonderful time with Mr. Bharat Joshi as our guide in Aurangabad. He has a deep knowledge of history, geography, architecture and archeology of the area and guided us expertly. The things we specifically liked were : 1. His punctuality. He and his driver were always on time. 2. His flexibility to slightly tweak the itinerary to suit our preference. 3. His deep connections in the local ecosystem - other guides, security and cleaning personnel seemed to know and respect him. 4. He was able to help us get darshan at local temples. 5. His saree shop, restaurant and hotel recommendations. For me the Kailas temple and a couple of Ajanta Caves were stunning. The daulatabad fort is an underrated gem. Pls visit this beautiful place and I will recommend Mr Bharat as your guide anytime.

Sir, First of all we really consider ourselves lucky to have came across you at the great Kailash Temple. And I would definitely say, anyone visiting these great Ajanta & Ellora Caves must, must and must learn the history of these monolithic heritage from yourself. Aside from a vast experience of 20+ years and an astute professionalism, you truly are a great person and a kind soul. And with the details you shared with us it was a completely new perspective for all of us to look at the greatness of the Ajanta and Ellora man made monasteries and not caves ( caves are natural voids in the earths surface ) as you pointed out in the very beginning of your tour. It really was an exhilarating and an enriching experience watching, learning and understanding the greatness and the origins of these wonderful places. When we comeback, we cannot go back without visiting you sir. And this time we shall be here with our parents for sure. Thanking you for your time sir..

I have wanted to visit the Ellora and Ajanta Caves ever since my daughter wrote an essay about them in her art history class. Traveling to India from the United States on a sabbatical, I found Bharat to be the perfect guide. His English is impeccable and his knowledge is unrivaled. I am certain that he knows more than a college professor on these subjects. He knows the history, the language, and all of the stories behind every carving and every painting. Beyond that, he is simply a very professional, well organized guide. Most importantly, I think he is a very good person. You will be safe with him, except your brain might hurt from learning SO much.
