Find out the cheapest ways to travel from Aurangabad to Ajanta Caves using buses, shared cabs, and rental bikes on a budget.

Smart Travel to the Ancient Caves

Ajanta Caves lie about 100 kilometers from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Traveling there doesn't have to be expensive.

State Transport Buses (MSRTC)

The most economical way to reach Ajanta is via government-run ST buses. Catch a bus from the Central Bus Stand (CBS) heading towards Jalgaon. The journey takes about 2.5 to 3 hours and costs very little. Get off at the Ajanta T-Junction.

Shared Cabs

You can find shared taxis near the bus stand. They are slightly faster than buses and reasonably priced, offering a good balance between cost and comfort.

Renting a Two-Wheeler

If you are traveling with a partner, renting a bike through CSNExplore and splitting the fuel cost is a highly economical and adventurous way to make the trip.

Pro Tip

Start your journey early in the morning (around 6 AM) to beat the heat, avoid crowds, and make the most of your budget day trip.
