The distance from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Temple is 30 km by road via the Aurangabad–Ellora Road (NH-52 link). A taxi covers it in 45 to 55 minutes in normal traffic; add 15 minutes on Mondays, Shravan Somwar and Mahashivratri when the Ellora stretch gets busy. There is no toll on this route. The temple sits 1 km from Ellora Caves, so most travellers do both in a single half-day trip.
By road the route is: Sambhajinagar city → Daulatabad Fort (15 km) → Khuldabad (24 km) → Ellora / Grishneshwar (30 km). State buses take about 1 hour 20 minutes with stops; a private cab is the faster option if you want the 5:30 AM aarti. Grishneshwar to Ajanta Caves is a further 100 km, which is why the two are usually booked on separate days.
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga stands at Verul (Ellora), 1 km from Ellora Caves and 30 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Below are verified road distances used by our drivers when planning Jyotirlinga darshan trips.
