Inclusions

Itinerary

1. On this journey, you’ll explore one of India’s most breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Sites, carved into the rugged cliffs of Maharashtra. As we wind along the Waghora River gorge, you’ll see a horseshoe-shaped row of 30 rock-cut caves — each one a masterpiece of Buddhist art and architecture.

   8 h

2. Join me on an unforgettable journey through one of the world’s largest rock-cut temple complexes, the UNESCO-listed Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. Spread over two kilometers, these 34 magnificent caves bring together Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments carved between the 6th and 10th centuries — a living testament to India’s spiritual harmony.

   8 h

3. one of the most formidable hill forts of medieval India, perched atop a 200-meter-high conical hill just outside Aurangabad. Built in the 12th century and once the capital of the Delhi Sultanate under Muhammad bin Tughlaq, this fort is famous for its ingenious defense systems and panoramic views.

   2 h

4. A modest, open-air tomb covered only with white cloth and surrounded by fragrant flowering plants. The serene dargah of Sheikh Zainuddin, a revered Sufi saint, beside which Aurangzeb rests. Peaceful courtyards and arched gateways reflecting understated Mughal architecture.

   30 min

5. In the heart of Aurangabad stands Bibi Ka Maqbara, a stunning 17th-century mausoleum built by Mughal prince Azam Shah in memory of his mother, Dilras Banu Begum. Often called the Taj Mahal of the Deccan, it shares a striking resemblance to its Agra counterpart — but has a charm and character all its own.

About Aurangabad

Aurangabad is a Deccan city in Maharashtra, the base for the rock-cut Ellora and Ajanta caves, a hilltop fortress and a Mughal-era tomb.

Aurangabad, also called Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, took its older name from the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who governed the Deccan from here before taking the throne, and the city is dotted with old gateways. Bibi Ka Maqbara, a domed tomb finished in 1668 and modelled on the Taj Mahal, is its best-known monument. The Panchakki is a seventeenth-century water mill beside a shrine, and the small Buddhist Aurangabad Caves cut into a hillside date from around the seventh century.
