Which day Ajanta Caves closed?
I believe it is the Ellora Caves that are closed on Tuesdays; Ajanta caves are closed on Mondays. One thing to watch out for is that the one day Ellora is closed, Ajanta becomes more crowded than usual, and vice versa. Thus, you’ll be better off visiting either site on any day other than Monday or Tuesday.
