Mumbai to grishneshwar cab
330–350 km · 7–8 hours via the Samruddhi Mahamarg · 2 days 1 night round trip from ₹11,000, all inclusive
Grishneshwar is the twelfth and final Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva, and it stands at Ellora in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) district. Pilgrims who finish the other eleven come here to complete the circle, and the temple sits barely a kilometre from the Ellora Caves – so one journey covers a Jyotirlinga darshan and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A HireCab Mumbai to Grishneshwar cab makes the trip simple. Your driver collects you from your doorstep, takes the Samruddhi Mahamarg towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and stays with you for both days. You rest overnight near the temple, take a calm morning darshan, and drive home the next day without hunting for a bus or a local jeep.
Mumbai to Grishneshwar Cab Fare – 2 Days 1 Night Package
One price covers the whole journey. The cab reaches your doorstep in Mumbai on day one, stays with you overnight at Ellora, waits through your darshan on day two, and brings you home – roughly 700 km door to door.
| Vehicle | Seats | 2 Days 1 Night Round Trip | What's Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan (Swift Dzire / Hyundai Aura) | 4 + 1 Driver | ₹ 11,000 | All inclusive |
| Maruti Ertiga | 6 + 1 Driver | ₹ 13,000 | All inclusive |
| Toyota Innova Crysta | 6 + 1 Driver | ₹ 16,000 | All inclusive |
| Toyota Innova Hycross | 6 Seater | ₹ 22,000 | All inclusive |
A Mumbai to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga round trip costs ₹11,000 for a Sedan, ₹13,000 for a Maruti Ertiga, ₹16,000 for an Innova Crysta and ₹22,000 for an Innova Hycross – a 2 day 1 night package, all inclusive of fuel, driver allowance, toll, parking and the driver's night halt.
What the Package Covers – and What It Does Not
Other websites advertise a Mumbai to Grishneshwar taxi from around ₹4,500. That figure buys a one-way drop only. Our ₹11,000 covers a full two-day return journey with the same car and driver, so compare the two carefully before you book.
- Included – fuel, driver allowance for both days, all toll, all parking, and the driver's own night halt and meals.
- Included – the same cab and chauffeur for the entire trip, doorstep pickup in Mumbai, and the drive back home.
- Not included – your own hotel room and meals. You choose your stay in Ellora or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to suit your budget.
- Not included – temple pooja charges, entry tickets to the Ellora Caves, and any shopping on the way.
Nothing extra reaches you on the road. The driver never asks for toll money, parking change or a night-halt allowance, because the price above already settles all of it.
Mumbai to Grishneshwar Distance & Route
The Mumbai to Grishneshwar distance runs about 330 to 350 km one way, and the drive takes roughly 7 to 8 hours. The fastest road is the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, followed by a short 30 km stretch out to Ellora. Your exact distance shifts by 20 or 30 km depending on whether you start from Borivali, Andheri, Goregaon, Bandra, Dadar, Ghatkopar, CSMT or Thane – the driver plans the pickup around your address either way.
Because the Samruddhi Mahamarg carries you clear of the old ghat traffic, the journey stays comfortable even with elderly parents in the car. Grishneshwar itself sits close enough to Ellora that you can reach the temple gate, the caves and your hotel inside a few kilometres.
Can You Visit Grishneshwar from Mumbai in One Day?
We advise against it, and we would rather say so honestly than sell you a rushed trip. A same-day return means close to 700 km and 14 to 16 hours behind the wheel, which leaves you a hurried darshan and a very long night drive home.
The two-day package solves that. You leave Mumbai in the morning, reach Ellora by evening, rest properly, and walk into the temple early on day two when the queue is shortest and the air is still cool. Afterwards you have the whole afternoon for the Ellora Caves before the drive back.
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga – the Twelfth and Final One
Grishneshwar Temple completes the set of twelve Jyotirlingas, which is why so many devotees save it for last. The present temple dates to the 18th century, when Ahilyabai Holkar rebuilt it in red volcanic rock, and its carved shikhara and pillared hall reward a slow walk around the courtyard.
- Darshan timings – roughly 5:30 am to 9:30 pm; early morning brings the calmest darshan.
- Busiest days – Mondays and the Shravan month, when the queue grows quickly after mid-morning.
- Dress code – traditional wear suits the temple, and some sanctum rules apply for men.
- Parking – your driver handles it and drops you near the temple lane, so you walk straight to the queue.
Add Ellora Caves and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to Your Trip
The Ellora Caves stand about a kilometre from the temple, and the Kailasa temple carved out of a single rock is worth the walk on its own. Since the cab already belongs to you for two days, day two easily takes in the caves, and the drive back can pause at Daulatabad Fort or Bibi ka Maqbara without changing the price. Tell your driver in the morning and he shapes the day around it.
Combine Grishneshwar with Other Jyotirlingas
Plenty of our travellers cover more than one Jyotirlinga in a single journey. Bhimashankar and Trimbakeshwar both pair naturally with Grishneshwar, and Shirdi falls almost on the way. A three-Jyotirlinga run usually needs three or four days with one vehicle throughout. Send us your temple list on WhatsApp and we will map the route and quote the whole thing together.
Cab vs Train vs Bus for Grishneshwar
| Mode | Approx. Cost | Time | Comfort |
|---|---|---|---|
| HireCab Taxi | ₹ 11,000 for 2 days, all inclusive | ~7–8 hours each way, door-to-door | Private, same driver both days, no transfers |
| Train (to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) | Low ticket cost | ~7 hours + 30 km road leg to Ellora | Station-to-temple taxi needed both ways |
| MSRTC / Private Bus | Budget fare | 8+ hours + local transfer | Shared seating, fixed timings, tiring with elders |
No railway line reaches Ellora itself. Train and bus travellers get down at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and still have to arrange a local vehicle for the final 30 km, twice. A HireCab cab removes that last-mile problem completely – one car, your doorstep to the temple gate and back.

FAQs – Mumbai to Grishneshwar Travel
Q1. How do I reach Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga from Mumbai?
The easiest way is a direct cab. Grishneshwar temple sits at Ellora in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) district, about 330 to 350 km from Mumbai, and the drive takes roughly 7 to 8 hours on the Samruddhi Mahamarg. There is no railway station at Ellora, so train and bus travellers still need a road vehicle for the last 30 km from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Q2. What is the Mumbai to Grishneshwar distance?
The Mumbai to Grishneshwar distance is about 330 to 350 km one way, depending on where in Mumbai you start. A round trip therefore covers roughly 700 km, which is why we run this route as a two-day package rather than a same-day trip.
Q3. What is the Mumbai to Grishneshwar cab fare?
A Mumbai to Grishneshwar round trip costs ₹11,000 for a Sedan (Swift Dzire or Hyundai Aura), ₹13,000 for a Maruti Ertiga, ₹16,000 for a Toyota Innova Crysta and ₹22,000 for a Toyota Innova Hycross. Every price covers 2 days and 1 night and includes fuel, driver allowance, toll, parking and the driver's night halt.
Q4. Does the Grishneshwar package include toll and parking?
Yes. The Mumbai to Grishneshwar two-day package is all inclusive – fuel, driver allowance, toll, parking and the driver's night stay all sit inside the price. You pay nothing extra to the driver on the road.
Q5. Does the price include my hotel stay at Grishneshwar?
No. The package covers the cab and everything the cab needs, including the driver's own night halt. Your own hotel room and meals stay separate, so you can pick the stay that suits your budget in Ellora or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Q6. Can I visit Grishneshwar from Mumbai in one day?
We do not recommend it. A round trip covers close to 700 km, which means 14 to 16 hours in the car and a rushed darshan at the end of it. Our two-day package gives you an overnight rest at Ellora, an unhurried morning darshan and time for the Ellora Caves next door.
Q7. Why is this a 2 day 1 night package?
The distance decides it. At 330 to 350 km each way, you reach Ellora in the evening, stay the night, take a calm morning darshan and drive back the next day. Pilgrims arrive fresh instead of exhausted, and the same cab and driver stay with you for both days.
Q8. What are the Grishneshwar temple darshan timings?
The temple opens early and stays open until late – typically 5:30 am to 9:30 pm. Early morning brings the calmest darshan and the shortest queue. Mondays and the Shravan month draw the biggest crowds, so plan to arrive early on those days.
Q9. Can I visit the Ellora Caves on the same trip?
Yes, and most of our travellers do. The Ellora Caves stand roughly a kilometre from the temple, so a morning darshan and an afternoon at the caves fit comfortably into day two. Daulatabad Fort and Bibi ka Maqbara also sit on the drive back towards Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Q10. Can I combine Grishneshwar with Bhimashankar or Trimbakeshwar?
Yes. Many pilgrims cover more than one Jyotirlinga in a single journey, and we plan the route and the number of days around your list. Message us on WhatsApp with the temples you want to cover and we will send a combined quote.
Q11. Can I add Shirdi to the Grishneshwar trip?
Yes. Shirdi falls naturally on the Mumbai to Ellora side of the journey, so adding a Sai Baba darshan costs only a short detour and usually one extra day. Tell us when you book and the driver plans the day around it.
Q12. Do you provide a one-way Mumbai to Grishneshwar drop?
Yes, we run one-way drops on this route as well. One-way pricing works differently from the two-day package, so message us on WhatsApp or call and we will quote your exact drop.
Q13. Do you provide a Grishneshwar to Mumbai return cab?
Yes. The same vehicles run a Grishneshwar to Mumbai cab, including pickups from Ellora or Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar after your darshan.
Q14. Which cars are available for the Mumbai to Grishneshwar route?
We offer a Swift Dzire or Hyundai Aura sedan, a Maruti Ertiga, a Toyota Innova Crysta and a Toyota Innova Hycross on this package. Fortuner and luxury cars such as BMW, Audi and Mercedes are available on request – ask us for a quote.
Q15. What is HireCab's cancellation policy for this route?
Cancellations made 48 hours or more before pickup get a full refund (a service fee of ₹250 applies for outstation trips). Cancelling 24–48 hours before pickup incurs a 10% charge, and within 24 hours a 20% charge. Same-day or mid-trip cancellations are non-refundable. Full details are on our Cancellation Policy page.
