There are a number of ways to get around the city. Auto-rickshaws are the all time favourites as their drivers often double as local guides. Car with drivers can be rented from car rental companies, or through travel agents and hotels. They will also arrange for a tourist guide from the tourist office for you. Ellora is connected by regular bus service to Aurangabad- the trip takes around 45 minutes. The caves of Ajanta are further away (3hrs); four buses leave each morning for the caves. An hourly bus service is available from Aurangabad to the nearby town of Jalgaon via Ajanta . The main taxi stand is near the bus stand from where one can hire taxis to Ellora and the fortress of Daulatabad.
