Aurangabad For Solo Travellers
The brief
Aurangabad, Maharashtra is a strong solo-travel destination when the trip is planned with the right operator. The signature solo-friendly experiences are Ellora Caves, Ajanta Caves, Bibi Ka Maqbara, Daulatabad Fort. October to March is optimal. MyTripMyTravel handles Aurangabad for solo travellers with a dedicated chauffeur and private escort, solo does not mean unaccompanied, pre-booked monument access, vetted stays, and a 24/7 desk line so the trip is rich and never anxious.
Solo travel in Aurangabad works best when the friction is removed. The mistakes that hit solo travellers, getting overcharged on the ground, navigating crowds without a fixer, eating somewhere unsafe, or losing time to logistics, are the ones we engineer away. You experience the city; we hold the operations.

Safety, navigation, and a private escort
Every MyTripMyTravel solo mission in Aurangabad runs with a dedicated chauffeur for the duration and an escorted guide at each monument or major site. There is no walking through unfamiliar lanes alone unless you choose to. The 24/7 desk line is reachable from anywhere in the city. Bottled water, sunscreen, basic first-aid and climate control are standard in the vehicle. Gateway to the Deccan Caves.
Where to stay alone
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.
Dining and the evening as one person
Solo dining is curated through our heritage-dining wing, courtyard tables, hotel-restaurant tables that hold up for one, and private chef-led meals where appropriate. Aurangabad's signature dish, slow-cooked mutton in a spiced gravy eaten with soft naan, a Mughlai-Deccan hybrid found nowhere else. You are not herded into a group setting unless you want one.
Wellness, books, and unhurried time
Aurangabad for solo travellers rewards an unhurried pace, 2 nights reads better than a sprint. We deliberately leave space in the day for reading, reflection, and unscheduled time at the stay; the architecture is a frame, not a checklist.

Good to know
For Solo Travellers 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.
