Getting to Hadapsar and Khadki
Hadapsar station is on the eastern side of the city, off Solapur Road near Magarpatta and Mundhwa. Khadki station is on the old Pune-Mumbai Road, a short ride from Shivajinagar. Neither has the parking or auto queues of Pune Junction, so plan your drop or book a cab in advance, especially for the 7:05 am Gorakhpur departure.
