Shirdi is just 90 km from Nashik, which makes a same-day darshan trip by taxi the most comfortable option for families and elderly devotees. Here is the complete guide from our drivers who do this route every single day.
Best time to leave Nashik
Leave by 5:30–6:00 AM to reach Shirdi before 8:30 AM. Kakad Aarti crowds ease by then and the darshan queue is shortest on weekday mornings. Avoid Thursdays and weekends if you want a quick darshan — or plan extra waiting time.
The route
Nashik → Sinnar → Wavi → Shirdi via NH160 takes 2 to 2.5 hours. The road is good throughout, with clean breakfast stops near Sinnar.
What to combine with Shirdi
- Shani Shingnapur (70 km from Shirdi) — add 3 hours
- Trimbakeshwar — do the Jyotirlinga darshan before leaving Nashik
- Sai Heritage Village — with kids, worth an hour
Taxi tips
- Book a day before for early morning departures
- Choose an SUV if travelling with more than 4 people or elderly parents
- Keep darshan passes/aarti bookings downloaded offline
