A Pune to Nashik cab service opens up one of Maharashtra's most varied short trips. In one weekend you can fit in a temple, a vineyard, and a 2,000-year-old set of caves over a 210 km drive. The NH60 road is in good shape and runs through the Ahmednagar belt, about 4 hours, with plenty of dhabas to stop at on the way. It is one of the most popular routes in our outstation cab service.
For most families the main reason to go is Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga, one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples of Lord Shiva and a place a lot of Maharashtrian families want to visit at least once. It is 28 km out of Nashik city, at the source of the Godavari. With your own Pune to Nashik taxi you can do early morning darshan and head back the same day, or stay the night and add the Kushavarta kund.
If wine is the plan, the Sula Vineyards wine tour is the best-known one in the country. Sula runs vineyard walks and tastings, and there is the big SulaFest if you go at the right time of year. York, Soma, and Grover Zampa are all close by. With a private cab you can do 2-3 wineries in a day and not worry about who drives back. We build flexible halts at each estate into your Pune to Nashik cab booking. A vineyard weekend also makes the cut on our list of best group travel destinations from Pune.
If you like old stuff, add the Pandavleni Caves, 24 Buddhist rock-cut caves from around the 1st century BC, sitting just outside Nashik city. They are roughly 30 minutes from the main wineries, so they slot into the same day easily. Temple-circuit travellers often pair Nashik with a separate Pune to Ashtavinayak cab tour of the eight Ganesh temples.
A good number of our customers also tag on Shirdi. A Pune to Nashik cab can detour through Shirdi for Sai Baba darshan, since both lie on the Ahmednagar highway. A 2-day Pune-Shirdi-Nashik-Pune loop covers temples, vineyards, and caves without rushing, and one round-trip booking works out cheaper than two separate cabs. Our Pune to Shirdi cab page has the planning details.
