Pune to Nashik Distance and Time by Road: Quick Facts for 2026

Pune to Nashik Route by Road: Highway Guide with Timings

The road leads you to NH60 road with several populated cities in its path. This is the standard list of towns:

1. Pune to Chakan: Starts through Pune-Nashik Highway via Moshi and Chakan the auto hub.
2. Chakan to Rajgurunagar and Manchar: The highway widens into a higher capacity road with the traffic flowing smoothly.
3. Manchar to Narayangaon Small markets and farmlands on either side of the road.
4. Narayangaon to Sangamner: It enters Ahilyanagar district and crosses one boring plateau.
5. Sangamner To Sinnar, Nashik Industrial area is about an hour walk to Nashik city from Sinnar.

If you start between 5-7 am, you beat the traffic on the Chakan stretch before the office-bound rush hits in. If you're travelling on a Friday evening or Sunday returning, you need some patience while the drive.

Another longer alternative route goes via Ahilyanagar and Shirdi. It is suitable, if the pilgrims are looking to do both Nashik and Shirdi.

There has been a demand for direct rail link from Pune for long. The semi-high speed line project was dropped in June 2026 for the Pune-Ahilyanagar-Shirdi-Nashik line, so NH60 continues to be the fastest daily route yet.
