The trip from Solapur to Gangapur
Gangapur is the farthest stop on our circuit, at about 110 km from Solapur. That is a Google Maps driving estimate from central Solapur, and the route and your pickup point can change it. The temple is at Ganagapur in Afzalpur taluk, Karnataka, so this trip crosses from Maharashtra into Karnataka.
Because of the distance and the border, we recommend planning Gangapur as a full day, usually together with Akkalkot, which lies on the way. Tell us whether you want to return the same day or stay near Gangapur, and we confirm what can be arranged for your date.
Why Gangapur matters to pilgrims
Gangapur is a well known place of pilgrimage for devotees of Shri Dattatreya, and visitors come from Maharashtra, Karnataka and further afield. The temple carries a long tradition, and the town feels historic and quiet compared with larger pilgrimage centres.
Nearby: the Bhima and Amarja sangam, where the two rivers meet close to the temple.
Ganagapur Dattatreya Temple in brief
Gangapur is a major centre of devotion to Shri Dattatreya. The place is associated with Shri Narasimha Saraswati, and the temple stands near the meeting point of the Bhima and Amarja rivers, which devotees call the sangam.
Pilgrims travel here from Maharashtra and Karnataka. Worship routines, timings and any rules are set by the temple, so please check its official information before you travel and confirm with us if you want to align the day with a particular ritual.
