Aurangabad Getting there & around

Getting around

Autorickshaws are as common as mosquitoes in a summer swamp. The taxi stand is next to the bus stand; share jeeps also depart from here for destinations around Aurangabad, including Ellora and Daulatabad.

Hiring a bicycle from a stall near the train station (Rs 4 per hour) is an option for a pollution-filled day’s sightseeing around the city.

Ashok T Kadam (9890340816; a_t_kadam@yahoo.co.in) is a recommended and trustworthy rickshaw driver who won’t try and wrangle every rupee he can from you. He can normally be found around the train/bus stand. He owes the fact that he owns his own rickshaw to a Lonely Planet reader!
