Shirdi to Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga Taxi — 220 km Sacred Combo Trip from ₹6,500
Shirdi's most trusted cab service since 2015. 10,000+ happy customers. 4.9★ Google Rating.
Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga — one of the twelve most sacred Shiva temples in India — sits tucked inside the dense Sahyadri forest of Pune district. Combining Sai Baba darshan at Shirdi with Bhimashankar darshan is a spiritual highlight for lakhs of pilgrims each year, and the drive itself is a stunning ride through Ahmednagar's plains and the misty Manchar–Ghodegaon ghats.
Because the last 40 km approach to Bhimashankar is a narrow hill road with hairpin turns and dense forest cover, this route is not one to attempt with unfamiliar aggregator drivers. Sai Cabs assigns only drivers who have completed at least 40 Bhimashankar round trips and know the temple parking layout, monkey-safety protocol, and the alternate Ghodegaon exit road during monsoon closures.
Same-day round trip (Shirdi → Bhimashankar → Shirdi) is feasible if you start by 5 AM and want a compressed one-shot darshan. Most families however prefer an overnight halt at MTDC Bhimashankar or a Ghodegaon lodge — we offer overnight round trips at a ₹500 driver halt supplement.
The route exits Shirdi via the Ahmednagar highway (NH60), turns south at Ghargaon to join the Ahmednagar–Kalyan state highway, then descends into Rajgurunagar. From Rajgurunagar the road climbs steadily through Manchar, Ghodegaon and finally the 12-km forest road into Bhimashankar temple.
Total 220 km with two toll plazas (Sangamner and Rajgurunagar bypass) — both included in your fare. The last 40 km through the Sahyadri hills is scenic — thick forest, occasional peacock and langur sightings, and dramatic waterfalls in monsoon.
Distance: 220 km · Travel time: 5h 45m – 6h 30m · Tolls, parking, state permits and driver allowance included
