Rail and road plan

1. Delhi to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Check current trains to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, or travel by train to Manmad Junction and continue by train or road. Train services and timings vary, so verify before booking.
2. Grishneshwar: From Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, take a taxi or bus to the temple near Ellora.
3. Grishneshwar to Shirdi: Travel by road. Shirdi also has Sainagar Shirdi railway station, though a car is more convenient for this temple-to-temple route.
4. Shirdi to Trimbakeshwar: Drive to Trimbakeshwar, near Nashik. The nearest major rail station is Nashik Road; local road transport is needed to reach the temple.
5. Trimbakeshwar to Bhimashankar: This is a long road leg with limited convenient public transport. A private vehicle or pre-booked taxi is recommended.
6. Bhimashankar to Pune: Continue by road to Pune. From Pune, trains and flights are available for onward travel.

Practical tips

• Allow at least 5–6 days for the circuit; add time for darshan queues and travel delays.
• Consider an overnight stop near Nashik or on the way to Bhimashankar rather than driving the entire circuit in a rush.
• Check temple opening hours, special darshan rules and road conditions close to your travel dates.
• If you prefer public transport, plan separate train or bus connections through Manmad, Nashik Road, Sainagar Shirdi and Pune; direct connections between all temples are limited.
