    Asked on January 12th, 2022

    I would like a tour that combines top tourist sites and temples together. I especially would like to see the Kalish Temple.

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2022

      Sounds like a fun trip to India that you are planning! I have scoured through all of our trips to India and unfortunately I am unable to find one that visits the Kailasa Temple in Ellora. However, for trips that include a bit of everything, the tour you found, India Experience, would be a great option, or we have a 29 day trip call India South and North.
