Pune to Shirdi Shani Shingnapur Cab – Complete Guide
A Pune to Shirdi Shani Shingnapur cab is the most practical way to see both holy places without booking two separate trips. Shirdi, home of Sai Baba, lies about 185 km from Pune, and Shani Shingnapur sits in Newasa taluka of Ahmednagar district, roughly 70 km from Shirdi. Together they make a classic pilgrimage circuit that devotees from Pune, Mumbai and beyond complete every year.
Cab Service Pune plans this circuit as a single continuous route, so you do not pay for a vehicle waiting idle and you do not repeat the same road twice.
Why Combine These Two Temples
Both temples are on the same side of Pune, along the Ahmednagar corridor, so combining them saves a full day of travel. Many families go to Shirdi for Sai Baba's blessings and then offer oil at Shani Shingnapur for relief from Shani's influence. Doing it in one trip also means one set of leave days, one packing list and one coordinated vehicle.
Suggested Order of Visit
The most comfortable plan is Pune to Shirdi first, then Shani Shingnapur, then back to Pune. This works because Shirdi darshan takes longer and is better done fresh in the morning, while Shani Shingnapur is a shorter stop that you can finish by evening on the way home.
Some devotees prefer to go to Shani Shingnapur first because it lies a little closer to Ahmednagar and then continue to Shirdi for an overnight stay. That is also fine, especially if you want the Shirdi evening aarti. Tell us your preference at booking and the route will be built around it.
One-Day Plan
For a single day, start from Pune around 4 am. Reach Shirdi by 9 or 10, complete darshan and lunch, and leave by about 1 pm. Shani Shingnapur is reached in roughly one and a half to two hours, and darshan there usually takes less time than at Shirdi. Start the return drive by evening and expect to reach Pune late at night.
This is a long day with about eight to ten hours on the road, so we recommend it only for healthy adults and teenagers. Elders and small children will enjoy the trip more with an overnight halt.
Two-Day Plan
On day one, drive to Shirdi, check in, rest and attend the evening darshan and aarti. Walk around Dwarkamai and Chavadi at an easy pace. On day two, take early darshan when queues are lighter, have breakfast, then go to Shani Shingnapur and return to Pune by evening with daylight left for most of the drive.
A two-day plan also leaves room to add a quiet breakfast stop on the highway, buy prasad calmly and avoid rushed decisions.
About Shani Shingnapur
Shani Shingnapur is known for its unusual open-air idol: a tall black stone slab of Lord Shani that stands without a roof over it. The village is famous for its tradition of houses without proper doors, based on the belief that Shani protects the village from theft. Please treat this as local faith and tradition and be respectful.
Temple customs, such as bathing before darshan, modest or traditional clothing and any special rules for offering oil, are decided by the temple trust. Check current rules, timings and any online darshan options before you travel. Saturdays and Amavasya days draw the largest crowds.
What to Carry and Wear
- A valid photo ID for each adult
- Comfortable, modest clothes that are easy to change
- A small bag or cloth pouch, since shoes and larger bags are kept at counters
- Water, light snacks, and any regular medicines
- Some cash for offerings, parking and small purchases
Keep your mobile phones charged and tell the driver if you need the AC adjusted, as the seating in a full cab can get warm in summer.
Choosing Your Vehicle
For a couple or small family, a Swift Dzire is economical and comfortable. An Ertiga suits five or six people, and an Innova Crysta gives extra legroom for a two-day circuit. Larger family groups, societies and bhajan mandals often prefer a Tempo Traveller or Force Urbania, and bigger gatherings can choose a 20 to 45 seater bus.
All vehicles are clean and air-conditioned. Fares are shared before you leave. Toll, parking and state tax are normally charged at actuals unless an all-inclusive package has been quoted to you.
Best Time to Go
Winter months, from October to February, are the most pleasant for queues and long drives. Summers are hot, so keep an early start. In the monsoon the road is generally fine, but heavy showers can slow the highway. Avoid festival weeks and long weekends if you want a calm experience; if you cannot, book early.
Who This Trip Suits
This circuit works well for families doing their first Shirdi visit, senior citizens who want a gentle pace, and groups from housing societies or offices. It also suits people who want to fulfil a vow on a particular Saturday. If you travel with a wheelchair or walker, tell us when booking so the vehicle and stops can be planned with more space and patience.
Road, Driving and Safety Notes
The route follows the Pune–Ahmednagar highway and then local state roads towards Newasa, so there are no steep ghats, but traffic through towns like Ahmednagar can be slow. Our drivers are experienced on these roads and avoid night driving on poorly lit stretches wherever the plan allows. Wear seat belts, keep valuables with you rather than in the boot, and take a short break every two hours.
On Saturdays Shani Shingnapur has many private vehicles and buses, so parking can be a walk away from the temple. Your driver will drop you as close as local rules allow and wait at a convenient spot.
Booking and Support
Share your date, pickup area, number of travellers and preferred plan through WhatsApp, phone or the website enquiry form. Cab Service Pune confirms the vehicle, the order of temples and the fare in advance. Hotel, darshan or ticket assistance can be coordinated on request, so mention it when you book.

FAQs – Pune to Shirdi Shani Shingnapur Cab
Which temple should we visit first, Shirdi or Shani Shingnapur?
Most families go to Shirdi first because darshan there takes longer, then visit Shani Shingnapur on the way back. You can reverse the order if you want to stay overnight in Shirdi.

Shani Shingnapur is roughly 70 km from Shirdi, usually about one and a half to two hours by road depending on traffic and stops along the way.
Can we finish both temples in one day from Pune?
Yes, with a very early start, but it means a long day of about eight to ten hours on the road. For elders and children, a two-day plan with a night in Shirdi is better.
