Distances in the hills are straight-line; the road is longer.

Good to know

  • Hill roads are slow and winding: plan for the lower end of daily distance and choose a vehicle with pushback seats and good ground clearance.
  • Quotes usually include fuel, driver, and his food and stay. Tolls, parking and state taxes are listed separately. Yippigo shows each quote line by line.
  • The last stretch is a ghat road: tempo travellers and mini buses manage it easily.
  • Nashik and Shirdi are a short drive on, so groups often pair Saputara with a Shirdi trip.
