Chikhaldara To Saputara

Saputara sights

Post by Wanderlust

We went from Nashik - a two hour taxi journey. Taxi journey costs around Rs.800 to Rs.1200 depending on your negotiating skills and the other opportunities on the taxi drivers' horizon at that point of time. The taxi stand is near the bus stand. If you are going to go to Nashik by train, ensure you let the rikshaw-driver know that you want to go to the taxi stand near the bus-stop - CBD it is called I think. There are three taxi-stands in Nashik, so make sure you identify the right one. You can also go to Saputara by road from Surat. There's a bus stand from Saputara from where you can get a bus to different places including Nashik. Tip: Although there are a number of buses from Saputara to whatever destination you want to get to, the buses are jam-packed and additionally, get delayed like nobody's business. So, go well in advance if you have a connecting bus/train to catch and if you have some spare dough, share a cab with other passengers to get to your destination.

Retreat to Saputara

From Kalyan you have to go via Shahpur & Igatpuri to reach Nashik. From there you take the road to Vani. Nashik to Saputara is 85 Kms/ 100 minutes. Saputara can also be reached from Sylvassa 150 kms/ 2. 1/2 hours. Hotels are exorbitant. One days stay with food for a family of four will be 4000 to 5000 rupees per day (Diwali period). Scout for the smaller hotels. I recommend Hotel Vaishali.
