aurangabad tourist map

Travellers to Aurangabad will find history dating back to the 2nd century BCE, when the Satavahana rulers established their capital in Pratishtanapura, today known as Paithan . It was around this time that the viharas (monasteries) were carved out of caves in what is now Ajanta , and the stunning cave paintings were made, to be lost and rediscovered in the early 19th century. The carvings in the Ellora caves track the changing fortunes of three major religions Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism between the 5th and the 10th century CE.

History [ edit ]

Aurangabad has a long association with the concept of heritage. It has seen several dynasties and experienced the power of rulers of different religions, cultures and communities, each of which has left its mark on the city.

The Yadava kings established their capital in Devagiri (also spelt Deogiri ) and built a fort that stands to this day. The fort was reputed to be impregnable, but Alauddin Khalji of Delhi captured it by laying siege on it and renamed it to Daulatabad . Malik Kafur , his general consolidated his hold on the region. As the Delhi Sultanate was captured by Muhammad bin Tughluq , the fort passed to him. Tughluq is famous for his famously-botched plan to move his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad along with the entire population of the city, only to have to return because he had not planned for water supply at his new capital. This fiasco ensured fame for his name, as Indians took to describing the oft-shifting plans of their rulers as "Tughluq policies".

Aurangabad then fell to the local Muslim rulers of Deccan who revolted against the Delhi Sultan. The city of Aurangabad was founded in 1610 by Malik Ambar , the prime minister of Murtaza Nizam Shah II, one of these Deccan rulers, though the name of the city then was Fatehpura . The town started growing. Aurangzeb when he became Viceroy of the Deccan made it his capital and named it Aurangabad. This was the golden time in the history of Aurangabad when the city flourished the most in terms of culture, architecture, and art. The region kept changing hands till the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan consolidated his hold and appointed his son Aurangzeb as the governor. Aurangzeb established his base here. In the year 1679, Aurangzeb’s son built a replica of the Taj Mahal, the ‘Bibi-ka-Maqbara’, in tribute to his mother Begam Rabia Durani. It is considered to be a masterpiece of Mughal architecture in the Deccan. Aurangzeb returned to the city again in 1681, this time as an emperor, determined to crush the south once and for all. He spent the last two decades of his life battling the Marathas in an ultimately fruitless campaign. He died in 1707 in Khuldabad near Aurangabad city and was buried there—the battles resulted in the demise of his empire too.

The entire city of Aurangabad was fortified and huge entrance gates were erected. Except for Bharkal gate all the other gates are associated with the period of Aurangzeb. The gates with prime importance were the ones facing the four directions, Delhi Gate facing the north, Paithan gate facing south, Makai Gate (Mecca Gate) facing east and the Khas Gate facing the west. In all there were 54 gates in Aurangabad. Out of 52 gates only 13 have survived over the period of time. The important and architecturally most appealing gates include Delhi Gate, kala Darwaza, Makia Gate, Paithan gate and Rangeen Darwaza.

On 29 June 2022, Aurangabad was officially renamed "Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar" after the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and the second emperor of the Maratha Empire.

Get around [ edit ]

Map

The city of Aurangabad has all forms of transport right from intra-city buses, metered auto-rickshaws to chauffeur-driven taxis. Intra-city Bus service is Municipal Corporation owned but privately operated. AMT (Aurangabad Municipal Transport) buses ply throughout the city and outskirts reaching thousands of citizens to their offices, schools, colleges efficiently and in a cost effective manner. MSRT

AMT and Smart buses [ edit ]

AMT (Aurangabad Municipal Transport) intra-city buses ply throughout the city including the outskirts and connect different parts of the city and adjoining suburbs together. The AMT bus service is affordable and thus masses use it for their daily transport. AMT buses carry thousands of passengers to and fro their workplaces, schools & colleges daily and thus are quite crowded during morning and evening rush hours.

Smart City buses are also offered by municipal bodies at subsidised rates and are substantially less crowded and with more amenities than AMT buses and readily available in most parts of the city.

Conducted Bus Tours by MSTRC, ITDC and other travel service providers [ edit ]

MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation) and ITDC (India Tourism Development Corporation) operate daily conducted tours by semi-Luxury buses to the tourist destinations like Ellora, Ajanta and Daulatabad wherein they also take a note of the tourist destinations in the city. These journeys can be booked at Aurangabad Central Bus Stand (CBS).

Tour 1: Aurangabad CBS to Ajanta Caves, Bibi-Ka-Muqbara, Pan-Chakki and back to Aurangabad CBS

Tour 2: Aurangabad CBS to Ellora Caves, Daulatabad Fort, Bibi-Ka-Muqbara, Pan-Chakki and back to Aurangabad CBS

These conducted bus tours are ideal only if you are short of time and are alright having a glance at all these places. The major disadvantage of these tours is a very tight time-schedule. The sightseeing has to be wound up very fast without you being able to take your own time.

By auto-rickshaw [ edit ]

As a tourist one is recommended to either take metered auto-rickshaws (3-wheeler taxis) or chauffeur-driven taxis. These taxis are not very expensive and are ideal for one day tours to Ajanta, Ellora, Daulatabad, etc. A hatchback type air-conditioned taxi will cost you around for a least count of ₹560 (including the first 80 km) plus ₹7 per kilometer or 8 hours whichever is less. Rates of more premium taxis are also computed in same manner with a higher cost per kilometre.

Metered auto-rickshaws are undoubtedly the most suitable and convenient way of traveling through the city. This is due to their easy availability at any time and the affordability. These are hired three-wheeler taxis which are ideal to move around the city. The Meter reading is read along-with a 'tariff-card' available with the driver. The actual fare is usually around 10 times the meter reading. Always ensure that the driver starts the meter on beginning of the journey. Fare from midnight to 5AM is 1½ times the regular fare. The minimum regular fare is as low as ₹14.

By taxi [ edit ]

Chauffeur-driven taxis and tourist taxis are ideal for the tourists visiting the city and the tourist destinations around. The tourist taxis can be booked from various travel agents in the city like Blue-Ocean travels, Wonder, Manmandir, Saibaba Travels , Welworth, Classic Cars, etc. All hotels also have a taxi-counter. The fare is calculated per kilometre with a minimum of 80 km. The fare depends on the class of vehicle and the type (AC or Non-AC). See to it that the taxi you hire has a tourist permit and is not a private vehicle. The tourist permit cars can be easily identified by a yellow number plate.

Ola and Uber operate normal cab services in Aurangabad, with excellent connectivity in the city centre.

By car or two-wheeler [ edit ]

This is the most common way of transport for the local people. But for the tourists, self driven cars and two wheelers are not easily available on hire basis in India. Driving on the streets is fairly comfortable as there is not much traffic on the roads and the roads are wide (except that in old part of the city). Some roads are not very well-maintained and are prone to pot-holes.

In general, public transport in and around the city is fairly good.

Drinking regular water on streets is strict no. You must have mineral water.

Paan [ edit ]

Paan at Tara Paan Centre, Osmanpura is a tradition of Aurangabad and a must have. If you feel how can a Paan be so special then you have to feel a variety of mouth-melting Paans with exquisite presentation at this joint. You will not have a Paan like this anywhere in India.

"Base To Explore Ajanta & Ellora"

Aurangabad tourism.

Aurangabad, which was declared by the Government as the Tourism Capital of Maharashtra back in 2010, is a famous tourist hub which greets its visitors with a richly woven tapestry of sights and sounds. The city got its name for being the erstwhile capital of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century AD. The town is used as the base to explore the extremely famous caves of Ajanta and Ellora, Daulatabad Fort which is renowned for its strong defence systems, Mausoleums of Aurangzeb and Bibi-Ka-Maqbara famous for its architecture and Grishneshwar Temple, one of the only 12 Shiva Jyotirlingas in India.

From UNESCO World Heritage Sites to bustling markets brimming with delicate silk items and exquisite hand-woven garments, Aurangabad promises all tourists an exciting holiday experience. While the city is rapidly heading towards industrial growth and globalisation, it still retains most of its past glory, heritage, charms and traditions. The most famous tourist attraction of Aurangabad is the Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Ajanta Caves is home to 29 different caves, all of which showcase Buddhist artwork belonging to the period ranging from 200 B.C to 650 A.D. All paintings and sculptures in the caves were constructed painstakingly by Buddhist monks using only simple tools such as chisels and hammers. These paintings and sculptures portray a varied range of stories, starting from the Jataka Tales to intriguing accounts of ancient nymphs and princesses. The Ellora Caves, a little distance away from the Ajanta Caves, houses a total of 34 caves and has sculptures and paintings depicting not one, but three different religions – Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The sheer diversity of the sculptures, the architectural expertise, and the centuries of hard work undertaken by artisans are enough to leave you speechless. The sole remaining example of Mughal architecture in this part of the country, Bibi ka Maqbara is a mausoleum dedicated to Rabia-ul-Daurani, wife of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Designed by the Persian architect Ustad-Ata-Ullah, Bibi ka Maqbara has a structure similar to that of the Taj Mahal, with the main structure bordered by four towering minarets on four sides. The entire building is a sight to behold, and sunrises and sunsets are resplendent, with the rays of the sun beautifully casting the reflection of the mausoleum on the water of the canal in front of the building. Aurangabad is also home to temples such as the Jyothirlinga Grishneshwar temple and the Bhadra Maruti Temple, both of which have legends and myths of their own. Siddharth Garden is a place that all nature lovers will be mesmerized by. A landscaped garden housing a wide variety of sculpted trees and shrubs, the Siddharth Garden is also home to wild creatures such as lions, tigers, leopards, deer, and hyena. Sitting back on the green lawns of the garden and enjoying a beautiful picnic is a very popular tourist activity here. The erstwhile Mughal capital has retained most of its traditional Tughlaq cuisine, with Tandoors and Kebabs being local staples that you will find at almost every roadside eatery. Known for its arts and crafts, and especially its silk, Aurangabad has plenty of markets from where you can buy various local handicrafts, exotic gems, shawls, and of course, the region’s famous paithani silk sarees.

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.

Out of these we’d particularly recommend Cave 16 – the chariot-shaped Kailasha Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and Cave 10 – the Vishwakarma Cave where the rock has been sculpted to resemble wood.

  • Distance from Aurangabad : 29 Km
  • Timings : From sun up to sunset! (Except Tuesday)

2. Witness the wonder of the Ajanta Caves

Ajanta Caves, Aurangabad

Ajanta Caves | #2 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

If you went to Aurangabad and did not visit the Ajanta Caves, you’d have missed out on the second best thing to do in Aurangabad! Go and be enthralled by the stunning murals that narrate the life of the Buddha, elaborate rock-cut sculptures, massive domed stupas and carvings that show dancing girls, court scenes and other imagery. Wonder at the reasons why the caves were built during two distinct time periods – 100 BCE to 100 CE under the Satvahanas and 400 CE- 600 CE under the mighty, but now forgotten Vakatakas. Imagine the lives of the Buddhist monks who prayed in the richly decorated chaityas here or spent time in the viharas . And then think about how all this was made without the aid of modern tools and technology!

  • Distance from Aurangabad : 100 Km
  • Timings : 9.00 am – 5.00 pm (Closed on Monday)

3. Be blessed at the Jyotirlinga Grishneshwar Temple

Jyotirlinga Grishneshwar Temple, Aurangabad

Jyotirlinga Grishneshwar Temple | #3 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

When you walk into the Grishneshwar Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, you feel the divine presence of the deity and a sense of calm engulfs you. And that’s why going to this revered shrine to be blessed is one of the top things to do in Aurangabad. An important pilgrimage point, the temple is believed to house the twelfth and the last Jyotirlinga on the planet. Situated close to the Ellora Caves, the temple has, through history, been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, the last reconstruction being by the celebrated Holkar queen, Rani Ahalyabai. The temple is built in the South Indian Temple architectural style and of note is a carving of Vishnu’s Dashavatars in red stone inside the temple. 

  • Distance from Aurangabad : 30 Km
  • Timings : 05:30 am – 09:30 pm, 03:00 am – 11:00 pm (during Shravan month)

4. Pray to the mighty Lord Hanuman at Bhadra Maruti Temple

Bhadra Maruti Temple, Aurangabad

Bhadra Maruti Temple | #4 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

We’re used to seeing the mighty Lord Hanuman in a standing position; mace on his shoulder, ready for battle. But at the Bhadra Maruti Temple, the deity is depicted in an unusual sleeping pose, making this shrine one of the only three temples of Lord Hanuman to do so. And that’s why visiting this temple is one of the most rewarding things to do in Aurangabad. Legend has it that the white marbled temple is built at the spot where once Lord Hanuman relaxed, listening to devotional songs in praise of Lord Rama, sung by King Bhadrasena, the ruler of the area in ancient times.

  • Distance from Aurangabad : 28 Km (approx.)
  • Timings : 05:00 am – 12:00 pm, 04:00 pm – 09:00 pm

5. Visit Bibi ka Maqbara

Bibi ka Maqbara, Aurangabad

Bibi ka Maqbara | #5 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

History books have taught us that Aurangzeb was one of the cruellest Mughals to have ruled India. But when you visit Bibi-ka-maqbara, a Taj-like mausoleum built by him for his favorite queen, Dilras Banu Begum, you see another side of him…that of a family man and a faithful husband (the latter quite an unusual quality for the times!). Built between 1668 and 1669 C.E., the tomb is laid out in the Persian Charbagh traditional design with gardens, waterways and fountains dotting the landscape. The structure itself is very impressive and offers many instagrammable backdrops. Doesn’t that make visiting this monument one of the best things to do in Aurangabad?

  • Where : Begumpura, Aurangabad
  • Timings : 8.00 am – 8.00 pm
  • Entry Fees : ₹ 25 for Indians, ₹ 300 for foreign tourists

6. Have a fun filled day at the Siddharth Garden and Zoo

Siddharth Garden and Zoo, Aurangabad

Siddharth Garden and Zoo | #6 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

Another popular things to do in Aurangabad is to pack a yummy lunch and head to the Siddharth Garden and Zoo; a beautifully landscaped garden right in the middle of the chaotic city. Fascinating topiaries, a wide variety of trees and plants make the place perfect for spending some relaxed hours. An especially ‘important’ thing to do in Aurangabad if you’re traveling with kids (who’ve had enough of caves!), visiting this park means a trip to its small zoo that homes some big cats, crocs, hyenas, deer and other animals. A small aquarium that homes turtles and a variety of fish is also fun to watch as is the musical fountain that delight kids.

  • Location : Central Bus Stand Road, Mhada, Aurangabad
  • Timings : 9.00 am – 7.00 pm
  • Entry Fees : ₹ 5 for adults; ₹ 2 for children

Some other places to visit in Aurangabad would be to explore the Aurangabad Caves, visit the Sunehri Mahal and spend some time at the Shrimant Chatrapati Shivaji Museum that exhibits among other things, a copy of the Quran handwritten by Aurangzeb.

7. Relish local cuisine

Relish local cuisine, Aurangabad

Relish local cuisine | #7 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

There are only two levels of food in Aurangabad – Spicy and Very Spicy. But you’ll love everything the city has to offer! Try your hand at the special Aurangabadi Tikki Kebabs and Biryani that seems to be a hybrid of a pulao and fried rice. The most fun thing to eat here would be the Aurangabad Cantukky – a spicier take on the American Kentucky Fried Chicken that has a lingering smoky flavour. Interesting!

Another interesting dish is Naankhaliya – slow-cooked chunks of meat in a fiery sauce served with naan or sheermaal. Try it!

There’s a sea of street food stalls in the city and one of the best things to do in Aurangabad would be to sample as many as you can! Try Pani Puri , Missal Pav , Ragda Samosa , Sabudana Wada and an Aurangabadi specialty called Bajri Sandwich made with millet flour. Imartis , Jalebis and Kulfi –falooda stands can be found in every major market and have to be attacked with gusto as do Ice Golas – a special summer treat made with desiccated ice and flavoured syrup.

If you want a proper sit-down meal, try some of these restaurants: Yalla Yalla, Bhoj, Green Leaf, K A Lounge and Swad Restaurant.

8. Witness Paithani and Himroo Saree Weaving

The kaleidoscopic Paithani saree is a must-have element in every stylish woman’s wardrobe. And it’s made in the town of Paithan in Aurangabad district. A great thing to do in Aurangabad would be to visit a Paithani weaving unit in the town and witness first-hand how these beauties are made. The city is also a centre of Himroo weaving – a type of fabric made by blending cotton and silk – and watching the textile being made is also quite an experience.

  • Where : Paithani Silk Weaving Centre, Opposite 54, P1, Lokmat Nagar, Town Centre, M G M, Aurangabad
  • Timings : 9.30 am – 9.00 pm

9. Marvel at the Engineering skills at Panchakki

Panchakki, Aurangabad

Panchakki | #9 of 10 Things to do in Aurangabad

Panchakki (or watermill) is housed in the dargah of Baba Shah Musafir and is a marvel of medieval engineering. Built in the 17 th century, the Panchakki is hemmed to a brimming reservoir and was used to create hydel power for grinding mills that ground grain into flour for visiting pilgrims. Visit it to see how water was brought in from the Harsul River, 6 Km away, through earthen pipes to power the grinding mills and keep the resting quarters cool. Several other buildings in the dargah complex offer interesting nuggets of history and make for an enjoyable experience.

  • Where : Panchakki Rd, Nagsenvan, Aurangabad
  • Timings : 6.30 am – 9.00 pm
  • Entry Fees : ₹5 for Indians, ₹100 for foreign tourists

10. Experience Spirituality at Valley of the Sufi Saints

Lying on the way to Ellora, the Valley of the Sufi Saints is a memorable spiritual experience and one of the top things to do in Aurangabad. The area is situated in Khuldabad, a small town near Aurangabad, where several 14 th century Sufi saints resided at one point of time. The place reverberates with positive energy and has shrines in honour of several of the saints. You can also find the tomb of Aurangzeb here.
