What's included

Everything except the queue

A pilgrimage should not feel like paperwork. Here is what we take off your hands.

Darshan pass, sorted

We book your Sansthan darshan slot in advance and time your arrival so you walk in, not wait out. Aarti passes arranged where available.

Stay near the mandir

Clean AC rooms within a short walk of the Samadhi Mandir, so early Kakad Aarti does not mean a long pre-dawn drive.

Pure-veg meals

South Indian breakfast, and simple sattvic lunch and dinner throughout. Diabetic and low-salt plates on request — just tell us when booking.

A guide who speaks Tamil

Someone from our team travels with the group the whole way, explains each sthal, and handles anything that comes up — in your language.

Senior-citizen care

Wheelchair assistance, low-floor vehicle boarding, unhurried pacing and rest stops planned in. Most of our pilgrims are over sixty.

One number, always on

A single WhatsApp contact from the day you book until you are home. Flight delayed at 2 AM? Someone picks up.

Why pilgrims choose us

A South Indian operator who knows Shirdi

We are not a booking portal. We are a small team running one route, and we travel it with you.

01

One route, done properly

South India to Shirdi is all we do. We know which flights slip, which hotels actually honour a booking during Guru Purnima, and which darshan queue moves.

02

Fixed price, written down

The amount you are quoted is the amount you pay. No fuel surcharge on arrival, no "temple donation" collected on the bus.

03

Built for elders

Slower pacing, seats reserved close to the door, wheelchair support and a coordinator who carries everyone's medicines list.

04

Families come back

Most of our bookings each year come from pilgrims who travelled with us before, or from someone they sent.

Questions

Before you book

How far in advance should I book?
Twenty-one days or more before departure. Booked within that window, a short-notice supplement applies, as airfares rise sharply close to the date. Booked earlier, you pay the fixed fare shown on this page. For Guru Purnima, Ram Navami, Vijayadashami and the Dussehra period, book two months ahead — Shirdi fills completely on those dates.
Is the darshan pass really guaranteed?
We book Sansthan darshan slots in advance for every pilgrim and time your arrival around them. On exceptionally heavy festival days the Sansthan can change queue arrangements at short notice; if that happens our coordinator is physically there with your group to work it out on the spot.
My parents are elderly. Can they manage this trip?
Yes — most of our pilgrims are senior citizens. We arrange wheelchair assistance at stations and at the mandir, keep hotel rooms on lower floors where possible, reserve seats near the door, and pace the days with rest built in. Please tell us about mobility needs, diabetes or any medical condition when you book so we can plan around it.
What is not included in the price?
Personal expenses, pooja and archana tickets bought at the temple, prasad and shopping, laundry, and any travel insurance. Anything optional is quoted to you before it is booked — nothing gets added to your bill during the trip.
Can you arrange a private tour for just my family?
Yes. Private departures run on your dates with your own vehicle and coordinator. Pricing depends on group size and the hotel category you choose — send us your dates and the number of travellers and we will send a quote the same day.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellations more than 15 days before departure are refunded in full, less any airline cancellation charges already levied. Between 15 and 7 days, a part of the advance is retained. Within 7 days, refunds depend on what we can recover from the hotel and the carrier. The exact terms go into your booking confirmation in writing.
How do I pay?
An advance confirms your seat, with the balance due before departure. We accept UPI and bank transfer, and issue a receipt for every payment. Never pay to a personal account that has not been confirmed by us in writing.
