Maharashtra 5 Jyotirlinga Darshan Cab Service

This circuit covers all five of Maharashtra's sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, more than any other state in India. 7Cabs runs dedicated pilgrimage cabs to each one from every starting city on this route, with drivers who understand temple schedules and the most comfortable approach roads.

Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga

Trimbakeshwar sits near Nashik at the foot of Brahmagiri hill, regarded as the place where the sacred Godavari river begins. The shrine is unusual for depicting three faces representing Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva together. Crowds swell during Shravan and Mahashivratri, and the area around the temple is also known for its vineyards and other pilgrimage stops worth visiting on the same trip. If your visit happens to fall during the upcoming Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha, see our dedicated Kumbh Mela 2027 page for Shahi Snan dates and crowd-specific travel advice. Book a Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller from Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, or Aurangabad for a smooth darshan visit.

Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga

Bhimashankar lies deep in the Sahyadri hills, inside a wildlife sanctuary that is also home to the rare Indian giant squirrel. The temple is connected to the legend of Shiva's victory over the demon Tripurasura, and the forested hill setting makes the trip feel as much like a nature outing as a pilgrimage. A Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller, driven by someone familiar with the hill roads, is the best way to reach it.

Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga

Grishneshwar stands close to the Ellora Caves in Aurangabad district and holds the position of the twelfth and final Jyotirlinga in the traditional sequence. Local tradition links the temple to the sage Bhrigu and his wife Kusuma, and its dark basalt construction reflects classic Hemadpanthi craftsmanship. Almost every traveller on this circuit combines the visit with the nearby Ellora Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the same stop. A Hatchback, Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller gets you there comfortably.

Aundha Nagnath Jyotirlinga

Aundha Nagnath sits in Hingoli district and is widely regarded as the oldest of Maharashtra's Jyotirlingas, with local tradition crediting Yudhishthira and the Pandavas with its construction during their exile. Built in the Hemadpanthi style with the sanctum set partly below ground, the temple draws fewer crowds than the better-known stops on this circuit but is held in equally high regard by pilgrims. It sits furthest from the rest of the circuit, so most travellers pair it with Parli Vaijnath on the same leg. A Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller is the most comfortable way to cover the distance.

Parli Vaijnath Jyotirlinga

Parli Vaijnath sits in Beed district and is known locally as the healing Jyotirlinga, worshipped as Vaidyanath, the lord of medicine. Legend connects the site to Ravana's attempt to carry Shiva's lingam to Lanka, with the lingam said to have remained here instead. The temple sees heavy footfall during Shravan and Mahashivratri, and most travellers combine it with Aundha Nagnath as the final leg of the circuit before heading back. A Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller suits the longer drive in from Aurangabad or Nashik.

Plan Your Route by Starting City

The best order to cover this circuit depends almost entirely on where you start. Driving it in the wrong sequence means doubling back on the same highway something a route built around your actual starting point avoids. Here is how 7Cabs typically sequences this circuit from each major starting city:

Starting from Mumbai

From Mumbai, the most efficient sequence runs west to east, finishing closest to Aurangabad so your return leg is the shortest stretch rather than the longest.

• Day 1: Mumbai → Trimbakeshwar (around 180 km, about 4 hours) → overnight in Nashik.
• Day 2: Nashik → Shirdi (around 90 km, about 2 hours) → Shani Shingnapur (around 70 km further) → overnight near Shirdi or Aurangabad.
• Day 3: Aurangabad → Grishneshwar → Ellora Caves (about 30 km from Aurangabad) → Ajanta Caves (about 100 km from Aurangabad) → overnight in Aurangabad.
• Day 4: Aurangabad → Aundha Nagnath (around 210 km, about 4.5 hours) → Parli Vaijnath (around 120 km further) → overnight near Parli.
• Day 5: Return towards Pune for Bhimashankar darshan, then continue back to Mumbai, or head straight back to Mumbai if Bhimashankar was already covered earlier in the trip.

Starting from Pune

Pune sits closest to Bhimashankar, so the most natural sequence covers that Jyotirlinga first before heading north towards the rest of the circuit.

• Day 1: Pune → Bhimashankar (around 110 km, about 3 hours, via ghat roads) → overnight near Bhimashankar or back towards Pune.
• Day 2: Pune/Bhimashankar → Aurangabad (overnight halt) for Grishneshwar, Ellora, and Ajanta.
• Day 3: Aurangabad → Shirdi → Shani Shingnapur → Nashik for Trimbakeshwar → overnight in Nashik.
• Day 4: Nashik → back through Aurangabad → Aundha Nagnath (around 210 km from Aurangabad) → overnight near Aundha or Parli.
• Day 5: Parli Vaijnath darshan (around 120 km from Aundha) → return to Pune.

Starting from Nashik

Nashik is the most central starting point on this entire circuit, with Trimbakeshwar just outside the city and every other stop reachable in a single onward loop.

• Day 1: Nashik → Trimbakeshwar (around 30 km) → Shirdi (around 90 km) → overnight in Shirdi.
• Day 2: Shirdi → Shani Shingnapur (around 70 km) → Aurangabad (around 130 km) → overnight in Aurangabad.
• Day 3: Aurangabad → Grishneshwar → Ellora Caves → Ajanta Caves → overnight in Aurangabad.
• Day 4: Aurangabad → Aundha Nagnath (around 210 km) → Parli Vaijnath (around 120 km further) → overnight near Parli.
• Day 5: Return to Nashik, or continue on to Bhimashankar via Pune before heading back.

Starting from Aurangabad

Aurangabad sits right next to Grishneshwar, Ellora, and Ajanta, making it the natural base to begin with the heritage sites before working outward to the pilgrimage stops.

• Day 1: Aurangabad → Grishneshwar → Ellora Caves (around 30 km) → Ajanta Caves (around 100 km, plan an early start as the return drive is long).
• Day 2: Aurangabad → Shani Shingnapur (around 110 km) → Shirdi (around 70 km) → overnight in Shirdi.
• Day 3: Shirdi → Nashik for Trimbakeshwar (around 90 km) → continue to Bhimashankar via Pune, or return to Aurangabad.
• Day 4: Aurangabad → Aundha Nagnath (around 210 km) → Parli Vaijnath (around 120 km further) → return towards Aurangabad.

Good to know: The Ajanta Caves are closed on Mondays and the Ellora Caves are closed on Tuesdays. If your route includes both, plan around these days, or your 7Cabs driver can suggest an alternative sequence on request.
