Taxi Fare: Ellora Caves to Aurangabad – How much I Paid?

• • Aurangabad, Maharashtra • Tags:

Ellora Caves to Aurangabad City – How to reach? – via bus or taxi – A thought.

I was waiting near Ellora Caves for the 42-number smart city bus (white color) to arrive but was unable to see the bus arriving soon. Then I saw a Maruti Suzuki Van (taxi) Wala who was ready to take me to Baba Petrol Pump in Aurangabad City for Rs. 70/- only.

I agreed because Zostel was not too far from Baba Petrol Pump.

Within 1 hour I reached Baba Petrol Pump in Aurangabad City along with other co-passengers.

Thus, I learned about two options:

  1. Central Bus Stand, Aurangabad to Ellora Caves via 42 number bus – The fare is Rs. 50 only/-
  2. Ellora Caves to Baba Petrol Pump, Aurangabad via taxi – The fare is Rs. 70 only/-

The road condition both ways is excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed.

How I Reached Ellora Caves from Zostel (Adalat Road)?

• • Aurangabad, Maharashtra • Tags:

I reached Ellora Caves from Zostel, (Adalat Road) – 28 km via auto and then via smart city bus.

I hired a sharing auto from Zostel (Adalat Road) for Rs. 20 to reach Central Bus Stand (popularly known as CBS).

Upon query at the bus stand, I was told that opposite the Central Bus Stand, Bus (white color) number 42 is parked which will take you to Daulatabad Fort, Tomb of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Ellora Caves and Ghrishneshwar Jyotirlinga.

The bus fare I paid from Central Bus Stand to Ellora Caves was Rs. 50 only/-.

The travel time between Central Bus Stand to Ellora Caves was 1 hour.

The road condition between Central Bus Stand and Ellora Caves was excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed the journey. The last bus from Ellora Caves for CBS is at 7:50 p.m.

Clean Shave/Head Massage in Aurangabad – How Much I Paid?

• • Aurangabad, Maharashtra

I thought of having a Clean Shave/Head Massage in Aurangabad but the day was Monday and all salons and men’s parlours were closed. Thus, on Tuesday I visited Santosh Gents Parlour to have a Clean Shave/Head Massage.

Santosh Gents Parlour is situated near Kranti Chowk (close to Zostel), just a little further from Café Coffee Day and Haldiram’s.

Santosh Gents Parlour has 4 seats for visiting customers and is an airconditioned Gent’s parlour.

Timings: 9 am till 10 pm.

How much for a clean shave with Gillette shaving foam – I question.

Rs. 70 – Omkara replied.

And how much for a head massage (with Navratna oil)?

Rs. 50 – Omkara replied.

Clean shave was OK OK but what I found best was – Head/Neck/Arms/Back massage without machine – extra ordinary.

Thoroughly enjoyed.

Santosh is Omkara’s maternal uncle and was not present but Omkara was good in his job.

As I was not having 500 rupees change, I paid Omkara via Paytm.

In-comparison with Mumbai airconditioned Gent’s parlour I find this Aurangabad salon cheaper and equally good.

Auto Fare: Aurangabad Railway Station to Zostel (Adalat Road) – How much I Paid (to-and-fro)?

• • Aurangabad, Maharashtra

Aurangabad Railway Station to Zostel (Adalat Road) distance is 3 km and the fare as per Zostel is INR 50 (auto) and 120 (cabs). But during my travel from Aurangabad Railway Station to Zostel (Adalat Road), I paid Rs. 100 (including luggage charges) as an auto fare.

Not a single auto was ready to take me to Adalat Road below Rs. 100.

Anyway, from Zostel (Adalat Road) to Aurangabad Railway Station I hired an auto and paid Rs. 60 only (including luggage charges).

Note: I was the only passenger traveling (to-and-fro) in the auto. It was not a sharing auto.
