Shirdi Tourism

Being a small town, Shirdi has relatively, quite recently, established an airport. In the year 2017, India's President Ram Nath Kovind inaugurated the Shirdi Airport. This airport, however, receives flights from only three airports in India: Delhi airport, Hyderabad airport and Mumbai airport. Therefore, in case you wish to travel to Shirdi by air, you need to board a flight from any of these three airports. The Shirdi Airport is situated at Kakdi. If you stay in any city other than the three mentioned above, you can also board a flight from your city to the nearest airports. That is, The Aurangabad or the Pune Airport. From there, you can take a cab or bus to Shirdi.

Situated 3 kms away from the Shri Sai Baba Samadhi, the Sainagar Shirdi railway station is another option that you can explore if you're confused about how to reach Shirdi. Trains from Mumbai (Dadar Central), Hyderabad (Secunderabad), Kolkata (Howrah Junction) and Mysore come to Shirdi. More often than not, Shirdi is the terminal stop of these trains. Therefore, you must plan your trip accordingly. Depending upon your original destination, your train journey can last from 15 to 24 hours. Also, you must keep in mind that most trains get delayed and they make numerous stops along the way.

If you live close by, for instance, in Nashik, Pune or Mumbai; which is to say, that if you live in Maharashtra, you will easily find buses to Shirdi. In fact, you can also find cabs to Shirdi. However, if you live outside Maharashtra, you will not find any direct bus to Shirdi. In this case, you need to travel to Maharashtra first and then board a bus to Shirdi.
