food, just outside the station.

Places to visit in and around Aurangabad.
1. Bibi-ka-Maqbara-- A mausolem built for Aurangzeb's wife by her son.(12 km from Railway station)
2. Daulatabad Fort-- An archaeological site also known as Devagiri Fort, once a capital shifted by Mohd. Tughlaq.(30 km from station)
3. Ellora Caves-- a world heritage site consisting of caves and temples. It is around 38 km from Aurangabad and on the same route to Daulatabad. Hence can be covered in a single day alongwith Daulatabad. For Hindu pilgrims, Temple of Ghrishneshwara(one of the 12 jyotirlingas) is in the vicinity of Ellora caves.
4. Ajanta Caves-- Again a world heritage site consisting of cave paintings and stone carved idols. Near about 110km from aurangabad. I would advise to make a separate trip to it. Ajanta is also nearby Jalgaon Jn.

Tourist guidance centre is available on PF no 1 itself.

This train is only suitable for travel upto PARBHANI JN (PBN).After parbhani there are many crossings and there is greater chance of train running late by more than one hour. You can travel by express [especially by narsapur-nagarsol express (17213 or 17231)].
Hope you understood.
