Aurangabad

Aurangabad is generally safe for travelers, including solo females.  However, as with any solo travel, we recommend following basic safety precautions.  Dress modestly in public areas, especially in rural areas.  Inform your accommodation provider about your arrival and departure times.  Four Wheel Drive India can create a personalized itinerary with private guides or small group tours for added peace of mind, allowing you to explore Aurangabad comfortably.

Aurangabad offers a delicious variety of Maharashtrian cuisine.  Sample a Thali, a platter featuring various regional dishes like Bharli (a lentil dish), Pithala (a chickpea flour-based dish), and Tambdi Bhaat (a spicy red rice preparation). Don't miss local favorites like Saoji Chicken, a fiery marinated chicken dish, or Malwani Fish Curry, cooked in a coconut-based gravy.

Absolutely!  Aurangabad offers something for everyone.  Take a cooking class, learn about traditional weaving techniques at a Paithani saree workshop, or visit the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, an architectural marvel.  For nature lovers, explore the scenic beauty of Himayat Bagh or hike to Kailashgad Fort. We can tailor a unique itinerary based on your interests.

Immerse yourself in a vibrant folk performance or attend a traditional aarti (prayer ceremony) at a temple.  Learn a few basic Marathi phrases to enhance your interactions with locals.  Consider a homestay experience in a village to truly understand rural life in Maharashtra. Four Wheel Drive India can connect you with local artisans and cultural experiences.

Visit the Aurangabad Museum to delve deeper into the Deccan's rich history.  Consider attending a lecture or workshop on Maratha history or Indian architecture.  We can arrange visits to lesser-known historical sites or interactions with local historians to gain a deeper understanding of the region's past.
