In preparation for the upcoming Ashadhi Ekadashi festival, the Nashik division of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has taken proactive steps to facilitate the pilgrimage to Pandharpur.
290 Buses Dedicated to the Pilgrimage
MSRTC authorities have allocated a fleet of 290 buses for the pilgrimage from Nashik to Pandharpur. Starting from June 24, 70 buses will be operational, transporting devotees to the temple town. Additionally, from June 27 to June 30, an additional 110 buses will ply each day to accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims. These buses will facilitate a comfortable journey for the devotees and ensure their safe return.
Hassle-free Travel with Regular Fares
To make the pilgrimage accessible to all, regular fares will be applicable for the MSRTC buses. The response to the booking process has been positive, and devotees are encouraged to secure their seats in advance. The bus schedule is designed to allow pilgrims to choose their preferred travel date and return the next day. This flexibility enables devotees to plan their visit according to their convenience.
Improved Bus Schedule for Nashik-Pandharpur Route
Currently, two buses operate daily between Nashik and Pandharpur at 6 am and 6:45 pm.
