Train tickets to Shirdi
Sainagar Shirdi station is about 4 km from the Samadhi Mandir, and the Vande Bharat from Mumbai CSMT starts and ends there. Most other trains to Shirdi run only once or twice a week, so Kopargaon, about 17 km away on the main line, is the practical backup — with daily First AC trains from Delhi and Bengaluru. We book the trains for families and groups.

Booking a Shirdi yatra
- The Sansthan's three big festivals: Vijayadashami and Punyatithi (20 October 2026), Ram Navami (15 April 2027) and Guru Purnima (18 July 2027). Crowds swell on all three.
- Most trains into Sainagar Shirdi are weekly — if your day doesn't match, Kopargaon's daily trains are the answer.
- From Pune, the direct train is unreserved chair car only; for AC, we look at trains via Kopargaon.
How we book a yatra group
Families, mandalis, sangats and company groups — the same care whatever the size.
Many PNRs, booked together
Every booking holds up to six travellers — four on Tatkal — so a group is several bookings made together, with families kept side by side wherever the train allows.
Elders in the right berth
First AC and 2A for elders who need comfort and lower berths, 3A and Sleeper where that suits the group. We ask about every traveller's needs before booking.
One list on WhatsApp
Every PNR reaches the organiser on WhatsApp, with a list of who is in which coach and berth — ready to share with the group.
Each traveller counts
Only a confirmed berth counts, passenger by passenger. Anyone left without one gets a 100% refund, even if the others travel.
Out, onward and home
Many yatras link several places. We book every leg — out, between shrines and home — so the whole journey is planned before anyone sets off.
Invoices for trusts
When a trust, mandal or company books, we issue a GST invoice.
Only a confirmed berth counts. RAC doesn't.
App guarantees treat RAC as a success: you share a berth overnight and they pay nothing. We don't. If we can't deliver a confirmed (CNF) berth, you get a 100% refund, no questions asked — usually the same day, and always within 48 hours of asking — or the alternative that suits you better.
