Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are there many steps to climb at Jejuri Gad?
Yes, reaching the main Khandoba Temple at Jejuri requires climbing around 385 stone steps. While it sounds like a lot, the climb is broken up by beautiful views and deep devotion. Palanquin (Palkhi) services are also available at the base for elderly devotees.
Q: Can we adjust the itinerary sequence?
The sequence is highly optimized based on route geography (Narayanpur and Ketkawale are close to each other, followed by Jejuri). Changing the sequence will add unnecessary driving time, so we recommend sticking to the planned route.
Q: What happens if heavy crowds extend our tour beyond 9:00 PM?
Temple queues can be unpredictable on weekends or festival days. If your tour extends beyond the scheduled 15-hour window, standard extra-time hourly cab charges will apply directly to the final fare.
