All 8 Ganpati temples · about 650 to 700 km · 2 days · sedan ₹13/km on the HireCab Pune rate card
Planning Ashtavinayak darshan from Pune? A Pune to Ashtavinayak cab takes your family to all eight self-manifested (swayambhu) Ganpati temples of Maharashtra in one comfortable trip. Pune is the best starting point for the Ashtavinayak yatra, because five of the eight temples are in Pune district and the first temple, Morgaon, is only about 65 km away. We pick you up anywhere in Pune or Pimpri-Chinchwad, and one clean car with one patient driver who knows every temple stays with you for both days.
Bus tours keep a fixed timetable and leave little time for each darshan. With a private car your family sets the pace, rests when the elders need it, and spends as long as you like at each Ganpati.
These are the per-km rates our booking system uses for every outstation trip that starts in Pune. They are not special numbers made up for this route.

By tradition, the Ashtavinayak yatra starts at Morgaon, visits the temples in a fixed order, and ends with a second darshan at Morgaon. Our drivers follow this order unless you ask for a shorter route.
MSRTC and private operators run Ashtavinayak bus tours from Pune, and they are cheaper per seat. But they follow a fixed timetable, start at a fixed point, and leave little time at each temple. A private cab picks you up at home, waits as long as you need for every darshan, and lets you stop for meals and rest. For a family of four or more, a sedan or Ertiga often costs about the same as bus tickets for everyone.

Yes. Most families do all eight temples in 2 days with one night near Pali or Mahad. For elders or small children we recommend 3 days.
It is possible only with a very long day of 14 to 16 hours on the road. We don't recommend it for families, because darshan queues and the Lenyadri climb take time.
