Aurangabad Tour Packages

Often referred to as the tourism capital of Maharashtra, Aurangabad is a pretty sought-after travel hub. It is dotted with a number of ancient and historical monuments and offers a glimpse of the rustic charm of the past. Booking an Aurangabad travel package would be the simplest way to explore the many magnificent sites present in and near the city, starting from the beautiful Bibi ka Maqbara and majestic Daulatabad Fort to the stunning rock-cut structures of Ajanta and Ellora Caves. 

Experience the Best of Aurangabad

When planning a trip to Aurangabad, you must make sure that your itinerary includes the following places. 

Ellora Caves: A visit to this series of 34 magnificent rock-cut temples is an important part of the Aurangabad trip package. These cave temples have elaborate facades and interior walls and were cut from basaltic cliffs. At the Ellora Caves, you would find a plethora of Buddhist, Hindu and Jain structures. 

Ajanta Caves: The Ajanta Caves are a set of 30 rock-cut caves that depict the Buddhist culture and their stories through a variety of sculptures and paintings. These caves are cut into the face of a mountain and horseshoe-shaped around the Wangorah River. The Ajanta caves are filled with wall murals, sculptures and ceiling paintings, making it a major attraction of an Aurangabad holiday package. The paintings on the walls of the Ajanta caves largely adopt the theme of Jataka Tales. 

Bibi Ka Maqbara: Also known as the "Taj Mahal of the Deccan," this beautiful mausoleum was built in 1679. It is a tomb dedicated to Aurangzeb’s chief wife, Rabia-ud-Daurani, and showcases awe-inspiring Mughal architecture. Its architecture, design and the white marble used to build the Bibi ka Maqbara bear a striking resemblance to the Taj Mahal. The white dome of the Maqbara features panels adorned with intricate designs of flowers and is graced by four minarets on corners. 

Grishneshwar Temple: Being one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India, a visit to this temple is a key highlight of an Aurangabad holiday package. Grishneshwar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and attracts visitors from near and far. This temple features traditional South Indian Temple architecture, and its structure is made up of red-coloured stones.  At the garbhagriha or the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, you will find the Shivalinga facing east. Grishneshwar Temple has a 5-layered tall shikhara and multiple pillars with intricate carvings.

Daulatabad Fort: An Aurangabad package holiday will be incomplete without a sightseeing trip to the grand Daulatabad Fort. This hilltop fortress is renowned for its architectural splendour and strategic relevance. It was constructed in the 12th century, this fortress features formidable defences, which include a steep, winding approach designed specifically to deter invaders, as well as a complex series of moats.
