Train
CHEAPEST
The cheapest direct option — when the schedule fits. Howrah Sainagar Shirdi Express and Puri Sainagar Shirdi Express run direct to Sainagar Shirdi (the station is just a few km from the temple). Travel time 10–11 hours; fares ₹400 sleeper to ₹2,000 AC. Catch: both trains run only on select days of the week (typically Thu / Fri) — check IRCTC before you plan dates. Book early, especially during festivals. Fallback: daily trains run to Kopargaon, 15–18 km from Shirdi; shared auto / taxi costs about ₹100 per person from there.
