Bangalore to Shirdi. Help needed on the feasibility of the same?

prasanth.kumar81 · Oct 1st, 2009, 03:53

Hi All,

I am planning to go to Shirdi from Bangalore. I have the following tentative plan. Could you please let me know if it is feasible.

Friday:- Evening Depart from Bangalore in KK Express.

Saturday:-Arrive in Kopargaon by around 2:00 PM. Take a shared Auto/Taxi to Shirdi. Freshen up and have Sai Baba's Darshan. Spend the night in Shirdi.

Sunday:- Have another Darshan Early morning(Morning Aarti). After this i would leave for Mumbai. From Mumbai i would catch the 8:40 PM flight to Bangalore. This seems to be the last flight to Bangalore.

Questions:-
1) Is the plan on Sunday Feasible?
2) How much time will the morning aarti Darshan take on a sunday morning.
3) How much time does it take from Shirdi to Mumbai by Bus? When is the first bus from Shirdi to Mumbai. Which stop would be closest to the airport.
4)Can i somehow squeeze in Trimbakeshwar Temple in this plan?

Alternative:-
Option 1
Take a Bus to Pune. But the last flight is at 6:45. Is it feasible to catch this Bus.

Option 2:
My other Alternative would be to take a Bus from Shirdi to Bangalore. But the thought of traveling 20hrs in a Volvo Bus is a bit scary.

Thanks in Advance.

Instead of going shirdi to mumbai you can easily go shirdi to Pune around 5-6 hrs and catch flight from pune, for mumbai add another 3-4 hours. around 8- 10 hours you will reach mumbai this is just approximation and based on a normal case scenario. Better catch flight from Pune, Pune will be good for you.
