Its an eight hour drive one way.

If you want to sit in a car for sixteen hours in a day, be my guest... i would not choose such an option.

More info always helps, in this case....Budget?

I'm still not 100% convinced of the following, but a trusted website tells me it's true, and the airline seems to be taking bookings.

Jagson Airlines flight JA701 departs Mumbai (not Tuesdays) at 07:30 and gets to Shirdi at 08:25 - Rs4299 one way.

There is a return flight departing Shirdi at 14:30 getting to Mumbai at 15:25, same price, no discount for return tickets.

Thank you all for the help
kind regards

....Timescale?

There is a new rail line being built to Shirdi, though the total travel time by train would still be too long for a day trip.

....Day time or overnight travel?

Overnight train may be an option, I remember seeing one in a timetable, however...

....Sleeper class an option?

The train only had Sleeper Class (not air con), so may not appeal to everyone.

Thank you for your help on the hotel
Yes i have heard about the Sansthan but how does one get accomodation.
Please let me know
I tried once and they said not available.
Is this the one a little aways from the ashram?
appreciate your help

I just need it to have a bath and then after darshan come back and pick up my carry-on luggage and go on my journey

I am a lady travelling alone.

The sansthans dharamshala is very near to the SAMADHI MANDIR.yes it has to be booked in advance because it is the preferred choice of many.for such a short stay you can look at any other option...by the way accomodation is never a problem there except maybe at the time of some festival.
