I dont remember the exact distance from Shirdi, but it would take around 5 hours to reach. I think it will be hectic in one day.

Anup is not wrong but you can not visit these places in ONE DAY. Ajanta and Ellora requires one day each and do not miss DAULTABAD fort...it is very close to Aurangabad.
Shirdi also needs time - i think you should check with your plans once again..just running and touching will not give you joy rather spare some more time...for visiting these places ! |

I would say if you rush Shirdi the whole value of the place is lost since it is the atmosphere rather than any site to see. Darmabum is going to laugh at a materialist saying that I would suggest putting more time into Shirdi and skip some of the "required " sites. However, for my own historical preferences I would go fort, art and temple..
