Is there signal at the Ajanta and Ellora caves?

Around Aurangabad town coverage is fine, but it weakens on the approach roads and deep inside the caves. Download the site map and your tickets beforehand so you're not reliant on signal at the monuments.

Does one eSIM cover Mumbai and onward travel in India?

Yes. It's the national India plan, so the same eSIM works in Mumbai, across Maharashtra and anywhere else in India, useful if you're pairing the city with Goa or the caves inland.

Good to know in Maharashtra

Mumbai's suburban rail is the fastest way around, and the m-Indicator app maps every local train, bus and metro line, so download it and keep data live to check real-time platforms and dodge the peak-hour crush.

Best time to visit Maharashtra

November to February is cool and dry, best for the caves and coast; the June-September monsoon turns the Sahyadris lush green but soaks the Konkan.

Two simple ways to buy

Maharashtra eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Maharashtra eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Maharashtra — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

How much data do you need in Maharashtra?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Maharashtra eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Maharashtra are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Maharashtra eSIM: your local data guide.

Maharashtra spans Mumbai's frenetic seafront, the wine country around Nashik, the Buddhist caves at Ajanta and Ellora and the Sahyadri hill stations of Lonavala and Mahabaleshwar. A Maharashtra eSIM keeps you connected from the moment you land in Mumbai, so you can decode local train routes, book cabs across the sprawling city and navigate the long drives inland without losing your way.

One eSIM for Maharashtra and all of India. It's the national India eSIM — from $7.28/day with unlimited data, working the same in Maharashtra as it does the moment you leave it.

Across the region

Where you'll lean on data in Maharashtra.

Pune

A tech and student city with excellent 4G and 5G, ideal for ride apps, food delivery and remote work between sightseeing.

Aurangabad (Ajanta & Ellora)

The base for the cave complexes has reliable town coverage, though signal fades along the approach roads and inside the caves themselves.

Lonavala

This Sahyadri hill stop holds decent data along the Mumbai-Pune expressway, thinning on the monsoon trekking trails.

Konkan Coast

The Ratnagiri-to-Alibaug coastal belt has patchier rural coverage, so download maps for the beach and fort detours.

The practical bit

Getting around Maharashtra on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Maharashtra

m-Indicator— Essential Mumbai app timing every local train, bus and metro line.
Uber— Cabs and autos across Mumbai and Pune; widely available in both cities.
Ola— Local ride-hailing with cab and auto options throughout urban Maharashtra.
Rapido— Bike-taxis for beating Mumbai and Pune traffic on shorter trips.

How long to stay in Maharashtra

Many visitors give Maharashtra four to seven days, a few in Mumbai then an inland trip to Pune, the wine country or the Ajanta and Ellora caves near Aurangabad.

How much data for Maharashtra

Balanced 3-5 GB covers city navigation, ride apps and messaging; opt for Unlimited if you're working remotely from Mumbai or Pune and need to hotspot a laptop.

Coverage in Maharashtra

Mumbai and Pune have some of India's best 5G, but coverage genuinely thins on the Sahyadri ghat roads, along the rural Konkan coast and inside the Ajanta and Ellora caves.
