About the Shirdi, Trimbakeshwar & Grishneshwar trip
This is the route most families from Telangana and Andhra ask for first, and for good reason. Shirdi gives you Sai Baba's samadhi mandir, Trimbakeshwar gives you the Jyotirlinga at the source of the Godavari, and Grishneshwar near Ellora completes the twelfth and final Jyotirlinga of the traditional list.
Trimbakeshwar is also where Narayan Nagbali, Kaal Sarp and Tripindi poojas are performed, each needing a specific tithi and a stay of one to three days. If you want any of these, the entire itinerary has to be built around the panchang, and we do that first before booking anything else.
Shani Shingnapur, the Nashik Kumbh ghats, Panchavati and the Ellora caves fill the remaining time, with travel, stays and darshan sequenced so the circuit never feels rushed.

Through the Sai Sansthan portal, which releases slots in advance. We book them at the official rate and forward the passes to you.
