Prati Shirdi
Being a hot month of April and guests from another city, wanted to plan a comfortable trip. Prati Shirdi was the instant solution. Located approximately 30 kms from my home in pcmc, we started in the evening when the weather started getting a bit cool. We took the old Mumbai Pune highway. Immediately once the toll is crossed, there's a left turn that leads to the temple. You can miss it if not careful. Toll is not applicable for 2 wheelers. The roads are quite well maintained, overall an easy drive. Paid car parking is available very near to the temple. Shoes to be taken off at the shoe stand right outside the temple gate. The temple is beautifully managed and you get to do the darshan in peace, not much of a hurry, though depends on the rush. You can be back in Pune in 3-4 hours of time. A comfortable trip in the hot weather. Photography is not allowed inside the temple premises.
