About This Route
The Shirdi to Nashik route covers about 88 km on NH160 via Sinnar, linking the Sai Baba temple town with Nashik CBS. Pilgrims often combine Shirdi with Trimbakeshwar and Nashik's Panchavati temples, and this is the return leg of that circuit. The MSRTC online reservation system lists 6 bookable buses — Ordinary services and one early-morning Shivshahi — with journeys of about 2 to 3 hours. MSRTC also runs more counter-boarding buses on this busy corridor that do not appear online, so check at Shirdi bus stand for the full local schedule.

Travel Tips
These points are practical reminders for this route. Please keep extra time for reaching the bus stand, especially during weekends, rain and festival rush.
- ✔ The 06:45 AM Shivshahi is the fastest option (under 2 hours) — good after an early-morning Kakad Aarti darshan
- ✔ Most online buses leave between 10:00 AM and 01:30 PM, so a morning darshan followed by a late-morning bus works well
- ✔ Thursdays, weekends and festivals like Ram Navami and Guru Purnima bring heavy pilgrim crowds — book ahead or reach the bus stand early
- ✔ For Trimbakeshwar, get off at Nashik CBS and take a connecting Trimbakeshwar bus from there
Best Time to Travel
October to February offers the most pleasant weather for a Shirdi–Nashik trip. Avoid the peak heat of April–May for daytime travel, and expect extra crowds around Ram Navami, Guru Purnima and Vijayadashami.
