My parents and some of my relatives (a group of 16 members) will be visiting Shirdi in August. They will be reaching Pune by train on 16th August at around 10 a.m.; their return train is on 17th August at around 5 p.m.
They plan to proceed directly to Shirdi on the 16th, check in to some accommodation, have darshan and stay overnight there. On 17th morning, they will check out, visit Shani Shingnapur and then proceed back to Pune in time for the return train.
What would be the best mode of travel from Pune to SHirdi and back? Is there anything like a cab service or bus service that starts around 11 a.m or 12 noon on the 16th? If so, can an advance booking be made for the same? What are the other alternatives? I enquired someone about hiring a van, and it comes to around 10k.. That is costly. My parents want a slightly cheaper, yet safer option. Please chip in with your suggestions.
