There are not many attractions in Aurangabad itself, while in the north-west from the city lies Daulatabad, the most picturesque fortress in Maharastra. Visiting it stuck in my memory especially, because the painstaking climb through the forts up to the citadel at the very top of the Balakot Rock almost gave me a heart attack. A nice touch at the end of the day was a visit to the Bibi Ka Makbara mausoleum built on the model of the Taj Mahal.
