Our 3-day your included Ajanta caves (Day 1), Ellora caves, Grishneshwar temple, & city of Aurangabad (Day 2), & Shirdi temple (Day3). The driver Suleman was professional, accommodative, & courteous. He was happy to share with us his knowledge of the area’s history, vegetation, & landscape. At Ajanta and Ellora we hired professional local guides per Suleman’s recommendation and these guides were very good as they took time explain the details of the paintings and sculptures. We recommend that you don't see the caves without professional guides otherwise you will miss out on important details. Plan to spend at least 2-3 hours at each of the caves. The car Innova Crysta is quite roomy, A/C, & comfortable. Overall, we rate the whole trip very good and so we rate it 5 stars We had booked a 2 Night 3 day private tour with this travel ( Mr. Sharekhan - +91 86005 63880 ). The experience was extremely good and did not disappoint us at any time. Mr Sherkhan is the MAN , A NICE PERSON, WELL SPOKEN, HUMBLE, VERY CO-OPERATIVE, GENTLEMEN who owns the travel company was in touch through calls and WhatsApp from the beginning.

Things to Seein Aurangabad From exploring prehistoric caves to visiting ancient temples, there are so many things to do in Aurangabad that you may want to take a detour soon after your first trip. It is a treasure trove of Maharashtra that skirts the prehistoric caves of Ajanta and Ellora. Along with such UNESCO world heritage sites, it also conceals some strikingly remarkable historical monuments like Bibi-ka-Maqbara, Panchakki, Grishneshwar temple etc. Aurangabad is also blessed to be the home of one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.Besides pilgrimage and historical exploration, there are myriads of activities in Aurangabad to be experienced. The city is also home to some eclectic pubs and casual restaurants. One can also explore the Museum of Chhatrapati Shivaji to understand the history of Marathas or can opt for fun activities in parks like H2O or the Siddhartha Garden. Visiting shrines and temples can also be very interesting at Aurangabad as it has a rich history that can be witnessed at places such as Panchakki and Valley Of the Sufi Saints etc. All in all, Aurangabad is a place shrouded in historical stories and is also turning into a modern hub; paying a visit to this town won’t be a regret. Here are the bestthings to do in Aurangabad: Nestled in the Silyachak range at around 700 feet above the ground, Aurangabad caves is a cluster of 2000-year old caves situated right behind the famous bibi-ka-maqbara. Exploring these caves is one of the top things to do in Aurangabad...

• India Aurangabad laid low through most of the tumultuous history of medieval India and only hit the spotlight when the last Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, made the city his capital from 1653 to 1707. With the emperor’s death came the city’s rapid decline, but the brief period of glory saw the building of some fascinating monuments, including Bibi-qa-Maqbara, a Taj Mahal replica, and these continue to draw a steady trickle of visitors. Alongside other historic relics, such as a group of ancient Buddhist caves, these Mughal relics make Aurangabad a good choice for a weekend excursion from Mumbai. But the real reason for traipsing here is because the town is an excellent base for exploring the World Heritage Sites of Ellora and Ajanta.
