Tembhurni is a place on the Pune-Solapur highway. After getting down here, either board a private vehicle going towards Akluj or catch an MSRTC bus.

Get down at a spot called Sangam.

From Sangam, either board a share auto which would take you to temple or else walking the distance would be also an enjoyable moment in itself!

In the event, if you are having your own vehicle then beware as the bridge on the Neera river is in very bad condition. Google Map Direction ^[2]
