pune to bhimashankar cab

Located atop the Sahyadri mountains in Ambegaon taluka of Pune district, Bhimashankar represents one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.

Accurate Route, Distance & Transit Specifications

Reaching the Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga temple requires traveling through national highway zones followed by rural interior roads and scenic hillside ghat curves. Knowing your transit timeline ensures a relaxed, hassle-free pilgrimage:

• Total One-Way Distance: Approximately 110 km to 125 km (depending upon your specific Pune neighborhood pickup point).
• Transit Duration: 3.5 to 4.5 hours under typical traffic flow.
• Primary Recommended Highway Route: Pune City Center → Khadki / Dapodi → Bhosari → Chakan Industrial Corridor (NH 60) → Rajgurunagar (Khed) → Manchar Bypass → Turn West toward Ghodegaon → Shinoli → Dimbhe Dam Reservoir → Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary → Temple Parking Bay.
• Scenic Daylight Route: Pune → Rajgurunagar → Wada → Bhorgiri → Bhimashankar (offers scenic views, recommended during daytime travel).
• Terminal Drop-Off Point: Your car brings you directly to the designated ST bus depot / local taxi stand near the temple entrance gate, minimizing the walk to the famous stone steps.

We encourage early departures between 4:30 AM and 5:30 AM. Leaving early allows your vehicle to bypass commercial truck traffic along the Bhosari-Chakan corridor and brings you to the temple gates before mid-morning queue build-ups.

Ambegaon Ghat Safety & Wildlife Reserve Guidelines

During the monsoon season (July through September), the Sahyadri mountains feature mist, green valleys, and seasonal waterfalls. However, the wet road surface and fog demand careful driving. Booking with EX FAUJI TOURS AND TRAVELS provides several safety advantages:
