South of India
The beauty of Goa, Kerala and Tamil Nadu! Which cities should I visit in South of India ?
Aurangabad :
Aurangabad is a big city of Maharastra, we visited very quickly the town which seems nice and with welcoming people. The main attraction here is Ellora, which is easy to visit from Aurangabad.

The OYO Galaxy Imperial Hotel is to be absolutely avoided! It is the worst room we had in India. Dirty, holes in the walls, no water to shower or use the toilet… Awful!
Easy to reach Ellora caves from Aurangabad. At Aurangpura bus station, there are buses to Ellora. By bus it takes 45min and it's really cheap.
