Shiridi Trip Planning

Shiridi Trip Planning



Plan the below things in advance:
  1. Train tickets (you can choose either Ajanta Express or Sai Nagar Express): If Ajanta express (will take 12 hours), get down at Nagarsol and then take a cab from there. (45 Km to Shiridi and they will take around 500/- for a family of five)
  2. Book accommodation in advance. You can book it online and lot of hotels are available.
  3. Important thing is to book Arti/Darshan on-line at the below site and it’s very easy and its very very helpful. https://online.sai.org.in/landingPage.do
                if you do the booking for darshan/arti online, then you will avoid standing in the queues for hours and then getting darshan pass over there. Also for darshan, they give first preference to online bookings so that you will get an opportunity to stand just in front of Sai Baba vigrah.
 
Once you reach there, then the below things you can plan over there
From Shiridi, you can go for three trips.
  1. Nasik trip: its total 350 km (both up and down) and you can cover Nasik(some 6 temples), Triambakeswaram(jyothirling), Bhadra giri temple, Godavari puttuka, etc.  If you book a cab they will take 2500/- to 3000/  for a complete cab or per person 300/- on sharing tempo traveler
  2. Aurangabad trip: its total 320 km(up and down) and you can cover Grushneswar(jyothirling),Ellora caves, Mini taj mahal etc., and same charges as above
  3. Ajanta Caves: This covers Shanti singnapur, and one temple and etc., (not much info but similar as above)
Note: 1) Most corrupted towards triambakeshwar temple and you have to be careful when dealing things.
                2) Famous thieves at Grushenewar temple so you have to be careful
                3) It will be cold during December and January. So, make sure you take enough cloths/bedsheets/thick cloths especially for infants/elders.
