Things to Do 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.
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.
