Shirdi to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Taxi — 12th Jyotirlinga Darshan from ₹3,200
Shirdi's most trusted cab service since 2015. 10,000+ happy customers. 4.9★ Google Rating.
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga at Verul (Ellora) is the twelfth and final Jyotirlinga of the sacred Shivling series — the smallest of the twelve but the one that completes the pilgrimage for every devout Shiv bhakt. Just 100 kilometres from Shirdi Sai Baba temple and 30 km from Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Grishneshwar is the most-visited add-on for Sai devotees wanting to combine Sai darshan with Jyotirlinga darshan and UNESCO heritage sightseeing at Ellora Caves.
Sai Cabs runs 20+ Shirdi to Grishneshwar round trips daily in a mix of sedans, Innovas and Tempo Travellers. The 100 km drive on NH160 via Vaijapur is smooth 4-lane highway all the way, covered comfortably in 2 hours. A same-day round trip with 3 hours of waiting for darshan plus Ellora Caves visit costs ₹3,200 in a Dzire — every rupee included: tolls, fuel, driver bhatta, AC and GST.
The Grishneshwar temple, rebuilt by Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century in classic Yadava-style red basalt, sits just 1 km from the UNESCO-listed Ellora Caves — so a single day-trip covers both. Add Bhadra Maruti Hanuman temple at Khuldabad (12 km before Ellora) and you get three legendary sites in one Sai Cabs booking.
The drive starts from Shirdi Sansthan gate, joins NH160 via Kopargaon and Yeola bypass, passes Vaijapur town at 60 km, and continues on the newly-4-laned Sambhajinagar highway. At 85 km you take the Ellora / Verul exit — a scenic 15 km detour through the Khuldabad hills reaches Grishneshwar temple parking.
Total driving is 100 km with one toll plaza at Vaijapur — included in your quoted fare. The last 15 km through Khuldabad passes Bhadra Maruti Hanuman temple (worth a 20-minute stop for Hanuman devotees) and Aurangzeb's tomb (historical curiosity — free entry).
Distance: 100 km · Travel time: 2h – 2h 30m · Tolls, parking, state permits and driver allowance included
