While buses and trains connect Pune to Shirdi, a cab offers unique advantages that make your pilgrimage more comfortable and efficient:
Pickup from your doorstep in Pune, drop directly at Shirdi temple. No auto-rickshaw hassle from bus stand.
Leave at 2 AM for early morning darshan—impossible with scheduled buses. Perfect for catching Kakad Aarti at 4:30 AM.
Comfortable travel for elderly parents, children, and families. Private space, AC control, luggage room.
Your cab waits while you complete darshan. No rushing, no missing return bus. Take your time at the temple.
For groups of 3-4 people, cab cost per person (₹700-900) becomes comparable to AC bus but with vastly superior comfort and flexibility.

The ideal departure time depends on which darshan or aarti you want to attend:
Night driving on empty roads. Reach by 4 AM, freshen up, join the sacred morning aarti. Most devout pilgrims prefer this timing.
Reach by 6 AM when temple opens. Beat the crowds, complete darshan by 9 AM. Return to Pune by evening. Most popular timing.
Reach by 9-10 AM. Some queue expected but manageable. Good for families who prefer day driving. Plan for 2-3 hour darshan time.
Reach by 5:30 PM for evening aarti. Stay overnight in Shirdi. Next morning darshan and return. Good for relaxed pilgrimage.
Pro Tip: Thursdays and weekends are most crowded at Shirdi. If possible, plan your visit for Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday for shorter queues and peaceful darshan.
