Post by Raja | Bangalore | Nov 7, 2010

we travelled from Bangalore by car. the best route is to go via Bangalore - Pune highway which is one of the best roads i have travelled . on the way when nearing Pune before taking a diversion to Pune please take detour inside the new Katara tunnel which leads to Bombay enjoy the tunnel take a 'U' turn after the tunnel and return to join the Pune road to reach pune. once you enter the pune city it takes atleast one hour to come out of pune city, Ask directions for reaching Ahmednagar. come out of the Pune city proceed towards Ahmednagar , the road is very fine. do not enter the Ahmednagar city ,before entering Ahmednagar ask for new road to shirdi and go in that road. by mistake we entered inside the city and were directed to take a bypass road the whole 10 km was being newly laid and was the worse road experience we faced.

HOLY PLACE

Shirdi is connected by rail & road. Near from Ahmednagar and easily reachable from Nashik also. Shani Shingnapur is nearer to Shirdi. please do visit there. If you wants to further you can have visit to Aurangabad and Paithan.

We travelled from Bangalore to Shirdi via the Karnataka Express which has a one minute halt at the nearest Station Kopargaon. From Kopargaon its a 20min ride in auto which costs you about Rs.70/80 (non-shared). We came back via flight from Pune which is about 240 km away from Shirdi. Actually Bombay is also just about 270km away so in terms of flight/train connectivity is a much better option.

Plan your trip in advance if you want to have quiet darshan without many people around go on a Mon or Tuesday which we did, The crowd start to thicken from Wednesday and Thursday is good day to avoid unless you want to be on Thrusday. Plan you travel options because getting tickets is a very difficult. If you plan to travel by train start booking your tickets 2 months before your planned travel date, If flying atleast 2 weeks advance booking is appropriate. for stay review you option by looking at travel adviser websites like trip adviser, Holiday ID and many others. There decent hotels available between range of 800 to 1500 for double accommodation. We stayed at Hotel Bhagyalakshmi for 1 night at of 2500 for Triple occupancy.
