Places to visit in Aurangabad 

When in Aurangabad, the two essential places to see are the Ajanta and Ellora caves. Ajanta, located about 100 km away from the city centre, is older historically, with the earliest caves dating to the 2nd century BCE. Ellora, on the other hand, was built under various rules in between 600 to 1000 CE and lies approximately 30 km from Aurangabad. With their impressive collection of caves, paintings and sculptures, it’s no wonder that both have been granted world heritage site status by UNESCO. Apart from the previously mentioned Bibi ka Maqbara built by Aurangzeb for his wife, there is also the Daulatabad Fort nearby with its impressive walls still (mostly) standing today. Another cave system closer to the city is the Aurangabad Caves, which might not be as comprehensive and grand as the others but still has a delight of its own. For a fun family experience, visit the Siddharth Garden and Zoo, where you can spend the whole day exploring and enjoying nature. For the more scientifically inclined, Lonar Crater Lake, 3 hours away from the city, might be of interest; it draws a number of naturalists, archaeologists and students throughout the year. Some notable temples include Grishneshwar Temple, Kachner Jain Temple and Shuli Bhanjan. For those looking for a little adventure, there is a regular hike up nearby the Goga Baba Hill, where one can find spectacular views as well as a panorama of Aurangabad itself.
