Why Choose CabsPune for Bhimashankar?

Temple & Trek Expertise

Our drivers handle both temple runs and trekking groups. They know when darshan queues are shortest, where to park near the temple, and which point to drop trekkers at the base.

Ghat Road Specialists

The ghat climb up to Bhimashankar has its share of tight bends. Our drivers run this stretch often, so they hold a steady line through the curves while you take in the valley dropping away on either side.

No Advance Payment

Book your Bhimashankar trip with zero advance payment. Pay the driver directly once you are back home. We earn your trust by running on time, not by holding your money.

Why Visit Bhimashankar from Pune?

Bhimashankar is one of India's 12 sacred Jyotirlingas, the Shiva temples that devotees try to visit at least once in their lifetime. At just 110 km from Pune, it's an easy day trip for darshan and back. Devotees doing the Jyotirlinga circuit often add a Pune to Nashik cab for the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga as well.

Beyond the temple, Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary protects the rare Indian Giant Squirrel, which is Maharashtra's state animal. The Sahyadri forests around the temple are dense, and they come alive in the monsoon when the streams start running.

Plenty of people pair darshan with the Padargad trek, a 4-5 hour climb that opens out onto the Western Ghats. Pilgrim or trekker, our Pune to Bhimashankar cab gets you there in comfort, with drivers who know the Manchar route well. Trekking groups also book us for hill runs like Pune to Lonavala and Pune to Mahabaleshwar, and our group travel guide covers more day-trip ideas.
