Why go to Shirdi
Sai Baba Temple and the Shirdi pilgrim circuit. A devotional day trip to Shirdi, planned around the temple's darshan queues and timings.
Is it worth it?
If you have three days in Nashik, Shirdi fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Nashik itself.
