About the Pune to Bhimashankar trip
Bhimashankar is about 124 km from Pune by road, and the drive takes about 2 h 58 min. The temple town sits in the Sahyadri hills in Pune district and is one of the best-known Jyotirlinga pilgrimage sites in Maharashtra. It is also surrounded by the Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. A private cab lets you leave Pune early, avoid changing buses and reach the hills without planning around public transport timings.
SwiftLux picks you up at your door in Pune and drops you at your exact address in Bhimashankar. Every car is air-conditioned and comes with a verified, professional driver. You can book now and pay later, and you can book through our website, swiftluxcabs.com, or on WhatsApp.
Choose a one-way drop and pay only for one side, or keep the car for a round trip. One-way fares are ₹1,862 for a Sedan (4 seats), ₹2,247 for a Hatchback (4 seats) and ₹2,394 for an MPV (6 seats). For a one-day round trip, the fares are ₹3,531 for a Hatchback, ₹3,852 for a Sedan and ₹4,815 for an MPV. The MPV suits families and larger groups travelling together.
A one-day round trip works well if you want darshan and a short walk in the sanctuary before heading back the same day. The ghat section near the end of the drive is winding, so an early start gives you more time and cooler weather. If you would like a slower trip with time at Dimbhe Dam or in the forest, tell us when you book so the plan suits your day.
For extra kilometres beyond your booking, the Hatchback is charged at ₹13.00 per km. The Sedan and MPV are listed at ₹0.00 per km. Please confirm the full trip terms, including tolls and parking, when you book.

Places on the way

- Bhimashankar Wildlife SanctuaryForested hills around the temple, known as a habitat of the Indian giant squirrel (Shekru). Walk the forest paths with care, especially during the monsoon when they are slippery.

Travel tips
Start early from Pune so you reach the temple before the crowds build up. Carry a light jacket, as the hills are cooler than Pune, and wear comfortable shoes with good grip for the steps and forest paths. During the monsoon, expect mist and slippery roads on the ghat section, and let your driver set the pace. Keep some cash for temple offerings and parking, and check the darshan timings and any festival crowds before you travel.
