Planning to visit Shirdi from Chennai

As a thought of visiting holy places, lot of places in my mind. Shirdi is the one which is in my mind quite long time. But I feel this is the time to visit, gathering lot of information to travel to Shirdi from Chennai.

There are many ways to reach Shirdi from Chennai, by flight, train even roadway travel too.

But I like to mix with flight and roadway travel. Normally the distance between Chennai and Shirdi via road way is approximately 724 mile / 1165 km.

But I plan to travel in a different route, Chennai – Ahmadabad – Vadodara – Shirdi.

Chennai – Ahmadabad 1042 mile / 1677 km
Ahmadabad – Vadodara 64 mile / 103 km
Vadodara – Shirdi 268 mile / 432 km

Total distance from Chennai to Shirdi as per my route is 1374 mile / 2212 km, almost double the normal.

Don’t think I'm crazy but I am.

This is my first visit to Shirdi with the blessings of Shirdi Sai Baba.
