Solapur to Shirdi Taxi — 260 km Direct Sai Baba Temple Drop from ₹5,800
Shirdi's most trusted cab service since 2015. 10,000+ happy customers. 4.9★ Google Rating.
Solapur, the temple-and-textile city of southern Maharashtra, is 260 kilometres from Shirdi and forms a common pilgrimage route for devotees combining Pandharpur, Akkalkot Swami Samarth and Sai Baba darshan in a single trip. A pre-booked Sai Cabs one-way taxi covers the drive in about 5.5 hours at a fixed ₹5,800 sedan fare, with all tolls, driver bhatta and fuel already inside.
Because there is no dedicated direct rail service from Solapur to Sainagar Shirdi, most pilgrims either endure a 3-train connecting journey or opt for the far simpler private taxi route. Our drivers on this corridor are typically Ahmednagar or Karmala natives who know every dhaba, fuel station and shortcut through the Bhima river plains.
The route is popular with Akkalkot Swami Samarth pilgrims — many book a Solapur–Akkalkot darshan → Shirdi drop package with a small detour, at a modest ₹500 extra. Same-day round trips (Solapur → Shirdi darshan → Solapur) are also feasible for those on a tight schedule.
The drive from Solapur heads north-west via NH160/NH548 through Kurduwadi, Karmala and Kolegaon into Ahmednagar city. From Ahmednagar the route joins the well-established NH60 to Shirdi via Rahuri and Kopargaon.
Total 260 km with three toll plazas (Kurduwadi, Karmala and Rahuri) — all included in fare. The Solapur–Ahmednagar section is 4-lane state highway with excellent surface quality. The final 15 km into Shirdi is a town road with occasional pilgrim traffic.
Distance: 260 km · Travel time: 5h 15m – 5h 45m · Tolls, parking, state permits and driver allowance included
