Aurangabad For Couples
The brief
Aurangabad, Maharashtra is a strong couples destination when the itinerary leans into the romantic register the city actually has, gateway to the deccan caves. The signature couples moments are Ellora Caves, Ajanta Caves, Bibi Ka Maqbara, Daulatabad Fort, paired with intimate heritage dining and a slower pace than a family or sightseeing-heavy trip. The October to March window is optimal. MyTripMyTravel curates Aurangabad for couples with private vantages, sunset timing, and quiet luxury stays.
Travelling Aurangabad as a couple is about what to skip as much as what to see. The signature moments, a dawn monument, a sunset rooftop, a private dinner, are what land; a third fort in a single day rarely does. We slow the itinerary deliberately, place you somewhere intimate rather than just expensive, and time the day around two or three real moments.
Signature couples moments
Ellora Caves: The UNESCO complex of 34 Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain rock-cut caves crowned by the monolithic Kailasa temple, 30 km west. Ajanta Caves: The UNESCO cave galleries of 2nd-century BCE Buddhist murals and sculpture, cut into a horseshoe gorge 100 km north. Bibi Ka Maqbara: The 17th-century marble mausoleum modelled on the Taj Mahal, nicknamed the 'Taj of the Deccan'. Daulatabad Fort: A medieval hill-citadel of concentric walls, moats, and a spiralling dark passage, once the Deccan capital. Panchakki: A 17th-century water mill and Sufi complex driven by an ingenious underground channel. Paithani weaving visit: An escorted look at the silk-and-gold Paithani saree tradition in the workshops that keep it alive.
Intimate stays
Luxury tier: Full-service five-star hotels near the city with pools and spa wings for recovery after long cave days. Heritage tier: Character properties reflecting the city's Mughal and Nizam past, with garden courtyards. Resort tier: Quieter landscaped resorts on the city's edge, well-placed for early cave departures.
Private dining & the evening
Dining for two in Aurangabad is curated through our heritage-dining wing, private rooftop tables, courtyard settings, or palace-hotel rooms with the city framed against the evening. Aurangabad's signature dish, slow-cooked mutton in a spiced gravy eaten with soft naan, a Mughlai-Deccan hybrid found nowhere else. The night is treated as the centrepiece, not a logistics afterthought.
Pace and timing
Couples trips reward slowness. We pace Aurangabad with one major heritage block in the morning, a long lunch and downtime at the stay, and a curated evening, a sunset vantage and a private table. The October to March window gives the cleanest light. 2 nights sits more comfortably than a single-night sprint.

Good to know
For Couples questions
How many days do I need in Aurangabad?
Two nights is ideal, one full day for Ellora, Daulatabad, and Bibi Ka Maqbara, and a second dedicated day for the longer run to Ajanta, which deserves to be unhurried.
Are the Ellora and Ajanta caves ever closed?
Yes, Ellora is closed on Tuesdays and Ajanta on Mondays. Our planners sequence itineraries around both closures so no day is wasted on a shut site.
Can I see both Ajanta and Ellora in one day?
We strongly advise against it. They lie in opposite directions from the city, and each merits a half to full day; we split them across two days for a proper experience.
