Why Wagholi is a smart starting point
Most of Pune has to fight city traffic just to reach the Ahmednagar highway. Wagholi is already on it. For a tempo traveller on rent in Wagholi, that means a north-east trip begins the moment your group gets in. Ranjangaon Ganpati, Shirdi, Shani Shingnapur and Aurangabad all lie in this direction.
If your family is planning a Pune to Shirdi tempo traveller trip, starting from Wagholi can save a good part of the morning compared with starting from the western side of Pune.
Groups we often drive from Wagholi
Wagholi has grown fast, with large residential townships and several colleges along the highway. That mix shows up in our bookings:
- Families in new societies heading for weekend darshan, often with grandparents who prefer a comfortable seat over a bus.
- College groups from campuses such as G H Raisoni and JSPM going on study tours or class trips.
- Neighbours and society committees sharing one vehicle for a temple trip or a picnic.
For mixed groups with elders and children, a 17-seater tempo traveller gives room to spread out without paying for empty seats.
Timing your departure on the highway
The Wagholi stretch of the Nagar highway can get very slow during morning and evening office hours. For Shirdi or the Ashtavinayak circuit, a very early start, before the rush builds, works best. For the return, try to cross Wagholi after the evening peak if you can.
