Nashik Bus Timetable 2026 (All Routes): Mumbai, Pune, Shirdi & More from Every Stand

Nashik is one of MSRTC’s busiest divisions, and its bus network fans out in every direction — toward Mumbai and Thane over the Kasara ghat, south to Pune via Sinnar, east to Shirdi and Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), north to Dhule, and west to the Jyotirlinga town of Trimbakeshwar. What confuses first-time visitors is that these departures are split across multiple bus stands: the old Nashik CBS/Mahamarg complex, the Thakkar Bazar terminal (New CBS), the Mela/Old CBS stand used for pilgrim traffic, and Nashik Road stand near the railway station. This page brings the major route timetables together in one place so you can figure out where to go and when, before drilling into individual route guides.

A full stand-wise departure list for the long-distance terminal is on the Thakkar Bazar bus stand timetable page.
