Aurangabad Weather in November

November: clear days, cool evenings

November is one of Aurangabad's easiest months for sightseeing. Afternoons reach about 29°C, while evenings cool to around 16°C. Rain is limited, so you can explore the Ellora Caves or walk around Bibi Ka Maqbara without the heavy showers October can bring.

The sun is strong through the day, but the lower evening temperatures make dinner outdoors more pleasant. Long walks can still feel hot in the afternoon, so save the Daulatabad Fort climb for earlier in the day. You're unlikely to need a rainy-day backup for most outings.

Festivals and local plans

Diwali sometimes falls in November, though its date changes each year. The festival brings lamps, sweets and family gatherings, but also busier travel days. Guru Nanak Jayanti may also fall in November; dates vary, so the city's holiday calendar matters if you're travelling around then.

Families who want easier cave visits may prefer weekdays outside festival travel days. The Ajanta and Ellora sites draw visitors in this pleasant season, and popular holiday dates can feel busier than quieter months.

Crowds, costs and a useful tip

November marks the start of the cooler, popular sightseeing season. Expect more visitors than during the hot months, with demand rising around Diwali. Prices can also edge up compared with the monsoon season, though the busiest winter weeks are still ahead.

For a calmer visit, go to Ellora on a weekday and remember it's closed on Tuesdays. The caves are spread across a large site, so leave time to walk between them rather than treating the visit as a quick stop. Afterward, try local Naan Qalia, a meat curry served with bread, in the city.
