Tempo Traveller on Rent in Pune for Jyotirlinga Tours

Jyotirlinga yatras are rarely solo trips. They tend to involve extended family, temple groups, or neighbours travelling together — twelve to twenty people who want to arrive at each temple as one group rather than in a convoy of cars that keeps losing each other on the ghats.

Kad Cabs offers tempo traveller hire in Pune for Jyotirlinga tours in 13, 17 and 20 seater sizes, from ₹22 per kilometre.

Why a Tempo Traveller for a Yatra Specifically

• The group stays together — one vehicle, one arrival time, one darshan queue
• Cheaper per head than three cars, with one driver instead of three
• Reaches temple gates — fits the narrow approaches to Bhimashankar and Trimbakeshwar where a full coach cannot
• Luggage carrier — five days of bags for sixteen people has to go somewhere
• High roof and wide step — genuinely easier for elderly pilgrims than climbing into a car
• Reclining seats — which matter on the 300 km stretches between temples

Sizes and Rates

• 13 seater — 12 passengers plus driver. From ₹22/km. More on this size.
• 17 seater — 16 passengers plus driver. From ₹23/km. More on this size.
• 20 seater — 19 passengers plus driver. From ₹26/km.

On a multi-day yatra, book one size up from your headcount if you can. Spare seats become room for luggage, prasad and someone sleeping on the Parli stretch.

For a premium cabin, the Force Urbania is worth considering. Fewer than seven travelling? An Innova Crysta costs less.

Drivers Who Know the Route

The ghat road to Bhimashankar in a 17 seater is not a job for a driver seeing it for the first time. Our tempo traveller drivers on these circuits have done them before — they know the approach roads, where to park at each temple, and how long the queue usually runs at what hour. On a packed five-day itinerary that knowledge saves real time.

Practical Notes for Group Yatras

• Confirm your headcount early — changing vehicle size close to the date is often not possible
• Book hotels that can take a group; small temple-town lodges fill fast
• Arrange Trimbakeshwar puja bookings separately and in advance
• Carry ID for every traveller
• Nominate one person as the point of contact for the driver — sixteen people giving directions does not work

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tempo traveller cost for a Jyotirlinga tour from Pune?

From ₹22/km for a 13 seater, ₹23 for a 17 seater and ₹26 for a 20 seater, against a daily minimum, plus driver allowance. Fuel is included.

Which size should a group of 14 book?

A 17 seater. Twelve people fit a 13 seater but fourteen do not, and on a multi-day yatra the spare seats become luggage and rest space.

Can a tempo traveller reach Bhimashankar?

Yes. The ghat approach is narrow but manageable for a tempo traveller with a driver who knows it, which a full coach could not do.

Is the driver experienced with pilgrimage routes?

Yes, we assign drivers who have done these circuits before and know the approach roads, parking and typical queue timings.

Are hotels included?

No. Vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls and permits are included. Hotels, meals and temple charges are yours to arrange.

Is there luggage space for a five-day trip?

Yes, a separate carrier outside the cabin, which is essential for a group of sixteen over five days.

Are the seats suitable for elderly pilgrims?

Yes. Push-back reclining seats, a high roof and a wide entry step, all of which are easier than getting in and out of a car repeatedly.

How far in advance should I book?

Three to four weeks for Shravan and Mahashivratri. Two weeks otherwise. Large vehicles are limited and go first.
