A main road links Ausia with Malkot, and further to Ayubia and Abbottabad. Another link road, Ausia-Dehla Road, connects the Upper Kohala Road with the Lower Kohala Road, and starts at Parao, the main bazaar of Ausia. During the British Raj, the Parao served as a resting place for the troops, including high command, en-route to Kashmir and India.
The Ausia Bazar (Parao, Makkah Chowk, Malkot Chowk and Chatti) offers a variety of hotel, workshop, and catering services. Adjacent to the bazar are a number of private and government educational institutions and two playgrounds, which host sporting events for the locals and others.
