About Aurangabad
Aurangabad's story is intrinsically linked to the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who made it his capital in the 17th century, though its history stretches back much further with sites like the ancient Aurangabad Caves. The city is famously known as the 'City of Gates,' boasting 52 historic gates that once defined its fortified limits. Culturally, it is a harmonious blend of Mughal and Maratha influences, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and local festivals. While the entire city revolves around its historical significance, distinct districts have emerged. The central area around the iconic Bibi Ka Maqbara is bustling with activity, while the Cantonment area offers a more planned, greener ambiance with many hotels and restaurants. Jalna Road and Nirala Bazaar are commercial hubs. Above all, Aurangabad is famous for being the tourism capital of Maharashtra, primarily due to the Ajanta and Ellora Caves. These breathtaking rock-cut monuments, featuring Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain artistry spanning centuries, are located within a day-trip distance and represent the pinnacle of ancient Indian engineering and artistic expression.
Best Time to Visit Aurangabad
The ideal time to visit Aurangabad is during the cooler, drier months from October to March. During this period, daytime temperatures are pleasant (20-30°C/68-86°F), making it perfect for extensive outdoor exploration of the caves and forts. This is the peak tourist season, so expect more crowds at major sites and slightly higher prices. The winter months also host the vibrant Ellora Festival of classical music and dance in December, held against the magnificent backdrop of the caves. The summer, from April to June, is intensely hot, with temperatures often soaring above 40°C (104°F), which can be challenging for sightseeing. The monsoon season arrives in July and lasts through September, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall that rejuvenates the landscape but can make travel to some sites slippery and less comfortable. This is the off-peak season, with fewer tourists and potentially lower hotel rates, but some outdoor activities may be disrupted. Plan your visit around the pleasant weather of the post-monsoon and winter months for the most comfortable experience.
