22nd December 2017
This is my first trip to Aurangabad. I reached Aurangabad at 9PM by train. I already booked a dormitory in the railway station, which is the best way to stay on a budget trip. The dormitory costs 49/- per 12 hours. After keeping the bag in a locker, I went outside the station. The food is very cheap in Aurangabad, and I tasted a lot of items.
23rd December 2017
Today my plan to visit Bibi ka Maqbara, Doulatabad Fort, Ellora Caves, and Aurangzeb's Tomb. Bibi ka Maqbara is 5KM away from the railway station. I hitchhiked two bikes and reached there within 20 minutes. Bibi ka Maqbara looks like Taj Mahal. It was commissioned by Aurangzeb's Son Azam in the memory of his Mother Dilras Banu Begum. Due to the strong resemblance, Bibi ka Maqbara is also called the Dakkhani Taj (Taj of the Deccan). I spent 1 hour there and returned to the next destination, Daulatabad Fort.
Daulatabad Fort is located on the northwest of Aurangabad, about 20Km away from railway station. magnificent 12th-century fortress stands on a hill, Built by Raja Bhillamraj was once known as 'Devgiri', Initially a Yadav stronghold, it passed through the hands of several dynasties in the Deccan. The ‘Daulatabad’ (city of fortune) name was given by Muhamad Tughlaq, Sultan of Delhi. I reached there by hitchhiking on two bikes. I took less than two hours to reach the top. The view from the top is awesome. You can see the nearby places from the top. After spending couples of hours on the fort, I started moving towards Ellora Caves.
Ellora caves 14 KM away from the Daulatabad Fort. After waiting minutes near fort's entrance, I managed to hitchhike on another bike. The road towards the Ellora side crosses a big ghat. Ellora Caves is yet another UNESCO identified World Heritage site and is a true depiction of different religions residing together as it contains Buddhist, Hindu & Jain religious temples and religious art in the form of exquisite sculpture patronized by Hindu kings. Covering all 34 caves can be a great challenge in the interest of time, however, it is definitely a must to see a glimpse of each religion variety. I have covered all caves except two. The Kailash Temple which sits at the centre of the Buddhist, Hindu and Jain caves is one of the largest rock-cut temples carved out of a single rock. I spent a couple of hours to see all the caves and finally returned to Aurangabad.
