Manmad is a major Maharashtra rail junction — Mumbai, Pune, Bhusawal and Secunderabad lines all meet here. That’s why thousands of pilgrims arriving from across India step off the train at Manmad and ask the same next question: how do I get to Shirdi from here? The distance is about 58 km, the road is straight, and the trip is well under two hours.
All your options at a glance
- Taxi / private cab — most comfortable, direct to your hotel, about 1.5 hours.
- MSRTC bus — the budget pick; state-run buses leave regularly.
- Shared taxi — just outside the station; quick and cheap.
- Train — a handful run all the way to Sainagar Shirdi (SNSI).
Private taxi / cab
COMFORT
The easy option after a long train journey. You roll out of the station and don’t step out of the car until you’re at your hotel door. Sedan from about ₹1,700, SUV / Innova from about ₹2,600 (fares vary by time of day and negotiation). The route is mostly NH160 (Manmad–Yeola–Shirdi) — straight and pleasant. The right pick if you’re with elderly relatives or small children.

MOST POPULAR
A handful of trains continue all the way from Manmad to Sainagar Shirdi (SNSI) — a short hop. But options are limited and the timings don’t suit every itinerary, so most pilgrims still get out at Manmad and go by road.
