We started from our home at 05:30 AM, and then we went on to the Samruddhi Expressway. We had breakfast in a shop near a petrol pump. The shop was only selling poha and tea. From there, we went to Lonar to see the lake. There we saw a temple. We had to go down a valley to see the lake. It required two hours and hence we saw the lake from there itself.
We reached Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad) and first had lunch at Great Sagar Restaurant. We went to our hotel and we took a rest. In the afternoon, we went to Daulatabad to see the fort. We had to climb upwards. My mother was soon tired and then me and my father went towards the top. We went to the front of the fort and didn't go inside the fort. There was also a tower called Chand Minar that was made by a king who won a big battle.
The next day, we went to Ellora Caves. There we first saw the "Kailash". Next we saw the Buddhist and the Jain caves. We had lunch in a small restaurant but didn't eat in the restaurant where Feluda had eaten.
From there we went to see Aurangzeb's tomb. We also saw the tombs of his son, Azam Shah, and his guru.
Then we saw Bibi ka Maqbara, where there was Aurangzeb's wife's tomb, which was made by his son Azam Shah. It looked like the Taj Mahal.
The next day we went to Ajanta, where there were 29 Buddhist Caves which were made 2000 years ago. Some caves were made 1600 years ago. The caves showed Buddha's life cycle. We ate in the canteen there. Then we went onto the Samruddhi Expressway and came back home after a three-day trip.
