Copenhagen to Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16)
Visit the Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16) from Copenhagen
The brief
Visiting the Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16) from Copenhagen, Denmark is a single managed mission with MyTripMyTravel. Flight: ~8 hrs (non-stop) to Delhi. Gateway: Delhi (DEL). On-ground in Ellora: escorted access to the Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16), pre-arranged at the prime viewing hour, with a vetted guide and the chauffeured Elite Fleet from arrival.
A Temple Carved Down From a Cliff The Kailasa Temple is Cave 16 of the Ellora Caves in Maharashtra, India, a monolithic Hindu temple to Shiva carved top-down from a single basalt cliff in the 8th century, under the Rashtrakuta king Krishna I. The largest rock-cut monument in the world, it was excavated by removing an estimated 200,000 tonnes of stone to leave a free-standing, fully carved temple where a hillside had been.
From Copenhagen, the routing is the first decision: Delhi (DEL) is the gateway. From Copenhagen, the chauffeured leg to Ellora runs on the Elite Fleet, Delhi → Agra via the Yamuna Expressway (3h), Delhi → Jaipur via NH-48 (5h).
Copenhagen is a manageable European-shift crossing, we recommend a single arrival-day recovery night before the first major site, with a light evening only. On the ground, the Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16) is sequenced for the prime viewing window, hours: sunrise to sunset (about 6 am to 6 pm), rather than dropped into a generic city sightseeing block.
Beyond the Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16), Ellora sits inside the wider West India; we plan the trip end to end on a single chauffeured architecture.

How we run the route
The Kailasa Temple (Ellora Cave 16), what you're visiting
The Kailasa Temple defies the usual logic of building: it was not constructed but excavated, carved downward out of a single basalt cliff in the 8th century until a complete, free-standing temple, courtyards, towers, elephants, bridges and all, stood where solid rock had been.
