Pune to Aurangabad – Complete Guide
Aurangabad is the main city of the Marathwada region and the base for two of India's greatest heritage sites, the Ajanta and Ellora caves. The city itself has plenty to see: the Bibi Ka Maqbara, often called the Taj of the Deccan, the Panchakki water mill with its serene garden, the nine rock-cut Buddhist caves on the hills above the city and the massive Daulatabad Fort a short drive away. The city's official name is now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, though most travellers still search for Aurangabad.
A Pune to Aurangabad cab is one of the most popular long-distance bookings in Maharashtra. Business travellers use it for one-way drops and day trips, families use it for weddings, and tourists use it as the first leg of an Ajanta–Ellora tour. At about 235 km, the drive takes under five hours on a wide highway, so a single day is enough if you only want the city, while a two or three-day plan lets you add Ellora, Grishneshwar and Ajanta.
The route from Pune. The route runs from Pune via Shirur and Ahilyanagar (Ahmednagar) and then the highway to Aurangabad. It is mostly four or six lanes, with toll plazas and restaurants at regular intervals. The stretch through Ahilyanagar has town traffic, and the approach to Aurangabad can be busy in the evening.
Places to visit on the Pune to Aurangabad trip. Bibi Ka Maqbara – A Mughal-era tomb built in the style of the Taj Mahal, set in a garden. Panchakki – A historic water mill and dargah complex with a calm garden and tank. Daulatabad Fort – A hill fort with a maze-like entry and a long climb, about 15 km from the city. Aurangabad Caves – Nine Buddhist rock-cut caves in the hills near the city with fine sculptures. Ellora Caves and Grishneshwar – A UNESCO site and a Jyotirlinga about 30 km away. Ajanta Caves – Buddhist cave paintings about 100 km north, best as a separate day. Himroo and Paithani shopping – Local textiles, including Himroo shawls and nearby Paithani sarees.
Best time and travel tips. The ideal season for this trip is October to March. Check opening days for monuments and caves, as Ajanta and Ellora close on different weekdays. Summer is hot, so plan sightseeing early in the morning. If you want Ajanta and Ellora both, plan at least two nights. Bargain politely in markets, and buy textiles from reliable shops.
Aurangabad is known for Mughlai flavours such as naan khalia, kebabs and biryani, alongside simple Maharashtrian thalis. Local sweets and mango season treats are also popular.
Planning your day. With a travel time of about 4.5 – 5 hours, an early start between 5:30 and 7 in the morning keeps the day comfortable, especially if you wish to return the same night. For a relaxed experience with meals and darshan or sightseeing, an overnight stay is often more enjoyable than a rushed one-day trip. Tell us how much time you want at each stop. Our driver will keep a track of the time and remind you politely so that you can reach home as planned.
Which cab should you choose for Pune to Aurangabad? With a distance of about 235 km (approx.), Pune to Aurangabad is long enough that seat comfort and boot space matter, so we recommend choosing the vehicle carefully. For up to four people a sedan keeps the cost low; for a family of five to six, the Ertiga offers space for luggage; for senior citizens and premium comfort, the Innova Crysta is the most popular choice. If you are travelling as a larger group, a Tempo Traveller, Urbania or bus brings everyone together in one vehicle and reduces the cost per head.
