Latur and Pune are closely connected, with people travelling between them every day. Latur is famous across Maharashtra for its schools and coaching classes, and many of those students go on to colleges and jobs in Pune. Parents travel to visit them, families travel for weddings and hospital visits, and professionals commute between the two cities for work.
By cab, Pune to Latur is about 370 km and around six hours of driving. That makes it a full-day trip, so a little planning goes a long way. Here is everything you need to know.
The route from Pune to Latur
Most cabs leave Pune on the Pune–Solapur highway (NH 65) through Hadapsar, Yavat, Bhigwan and Indapur, as far as the Tembhurni area. From there the road turns east into Marathwada towards Latur, commonly via Barshi. The highway section is fast; the second half is on state and national roads through smaller towns, so the average speed is a little lower.
Your driver will choose the best road for the day based on traffic and road works. If you want to pass through a particular town, for example to pick someone up, tell us when booking.
How long does it take?
Plan for 6 to 7 hours door to door. That includes getting out of Pune and one or two breaks. A departure at 5 or 6 am gets you to Latur by lunchtime, while an afternoon start means arriving after dark.
- Fastest: early morning, any weekday.
- Slowest: Friday evening out of Pune and the day before festivals like Diwali and Ganeshotsav.
- Night travel: possible and common, but if you are travelling with children or senior citizens, a daytime trip is usually more comfortable.
Where to stop on the way
A six-hour drive is best with two short breaks:
- After about 90 minutes, near Yavat or Bhigwan, for breakfast or tea.
- Around the halfway point, near Indapur or Tembhurni, for lunch or a stretch before the last leg into Marathwada.
Families travelling with elderly parents often prefer one longer lunch break instead. Just tell the driver what suits you.
One-way cab or round trip?
A one-way cab from Pune to Latur is the best choice when you are going to Latur and staying there: a student going home for the holidays, a parent moving back after a visit, or someone shifting cities. You pay for one way only, not for the car to come back empty.
A round trip is better when you need the car in Latur, for example for a wedding with several stops, hospital visits, or a temple trip to Tuljapur or Parli Vaijnath, and then return to Pune. The driver stays with you for the whole trip.
