Early road journey to Pune (approx 7–8h by Volvo/express bus) so you reach Pune by early afternoon and continue to Bhimashankar. This saves time compared to multiple short hops.
Early sacred ritual; Jalabhishek is a special abhishek to the lingam — plan for early wake-up, carry water-proof footwear and warm clothes if required.
Road time ~4–5h (approx 200–250 km depending on route). Alternative: return to Nashik and take train to Aurangabad if you want lower cost — I can fetch exact trains if you confirm date.
Drive approx 3–4h (about 150 km); plan arrival before the midday aarti if you want to attend at 12:30 PM (as listed). NOTE: you mentioned preference to avoid madhya arti — Parli’s key listed aarti is at 12:30PM; if you want to avoid midday we can shift sequence so Parli is an evening/morning visit instead. Confirm preference.
Attend the midday aarti at Parli Vaijnath; the temple has strong local traditions. If you would rather avoid midday aarti (as you noted), tell me now and I will reschedule for an evening/morning darshan.
You can either stay overnight in Solapur (budget hotel) and take morning transport, or board an evening/overnight train/bus to Belagavi. I can check exact trains/buses once you confirm departure date/time preference.
Road distance ~350–420 km depending on route; train/bus time ~6–9h. Choose overnight or early morning departure for comfort. Please confirm preferred travel mode and I will fetch exact train/bus numbers & departure times for your confirmed date.
