It's a good place for "Lunch". Many people are big fans of Indian "Thali". "Thali" is one huge plate with lots of different variety of food. It's usually unlimited food for one person, when you order a "Thali" . So if you are visiting India for the first time or never had a "Thali" before then I would say you must try that once. You can certainly find "Thali" at many other places in India. This restaurant is close to my place as well. But not a walking distance. You may want to go by auto-rickshaw(tuk-tuk) or OLA/Uber cab.

Its a hill and on top of this hill there is a temple. Its good if you go there early morning around 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM in summers. In winter around 8:00 AM should be fine. If you like climbing a hill its a good thing for you early morning and plus its near to my place. But go in a auto-rickshaw until there because if you also plan to climb the hill it will be a little more of exercise to first walk until there and then climb the hill. Or if you can let me know a day in advance I will be prepared how to drop you there. It would be my pleasure. Please plan to carry little bit of snacks with you, there isn't much around to eat. But even Siddharth Garden and Zoo is good for early morning walk.

If you are going Ellora caves, I definitely recommend to plan a visit to "Mahismal Hill Station" as well. This place is indeed worth visiting while visiting Ellora caves. It's just about 40 minutes drive from Ellora caves if you are going by a car/cab. It's very difficult to find a bus or any other public transport from Ellora to "Mahismal Hill Station" , so I would recommend visiting this place only if you have a car. Also, plan to reach "Mahismal Hill Station" around 4:00 or 5:00 PM as once its dark, it won't be much of a fun to see this place. Remember "Mahismal" and "Mahismal Hill station" are two different places so please don't get confused with that.

Ajanta Caves is the world heritage site and if you have come to Aurangabad, it's a place you must see. There are many tours and travel companies who arrange a tour to the caves near to my place. Also the main bus stand of aurangabad is just a walking distance from place. And if you want I can arrange a cab directly from my place to Ajanta and Ellora caves. I would be more than happy to make your tour a delightful experience.

It's a Fort/Castle/Citadel. Daulatabad also known as Devagiri, is a town which includes the Devagiri-Daulatabad fort. It is a 14th-century fort city in Maharashtra state of India, about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) northwest of Aurangabad. The place was originally named Devagiri when it was an important uplands city along caravan routes (ca. sixth century AD), but the intervening centuries have reduced it to a village. This one is on the way if you are planning to visit Ellora caves. So while going Ellora caves you can first stop at this fort and then go Ellora caves. You may not find good restaurants around so if planning to visit this place, you may want to carry some food with you.

Getting around
This is a central bus station and about a walking distance from my place. But this bus station is usually good if you want to travel for long distance. Like if you want to got to Bombay(Mumbai) or Pune from Aurangabad then this one is good for you. If you are travelling within aurangabad then I won't recommend this. Also there are luxury buses from Aurangabad to Pune or Mumbai and those are called "Shivneri" buses. Those are sky blue in color so can be easily identified. That's good bus to travel. But if you are going to "Goa" or any other such places then I recommend private travels like booking something from redbus or from Manmandir travels.
