About 1440 km in a straight line from Ahmedabad to Baidyanath in Deoghar. That figure is a straight-line estimate, not a driving distance. This page pairs it with the way people actually make the trip: the train through Baidyanath Dham (BDME), a flight into Deoghar (DGH), or the road.
The number is about 1440 km, measured on the globe between Ahmedabad and the temple town, then rounded to the nearest ten kilometres. It is a straight-line estimate.Treat it as a way to compare trips, not as a route: the road, the rail line and the air path all bend, and each one runs longer than this figure.
This is the same kind of number as the span on the map page. It tells you whether Ahmedabadto Baidyanath is a long day or a multi-day journey, and it is honest about being a calculation rather than a measured route.

The railhead this site treats as the nearest is Baidyanath Dham (BDME), about 1 km from the temple town. Over a long distance the train is usually the calmest option: an overnight run from most big cities, then the last leg by bus, jeep, auto or cab.
The nearest airport is Deoghar (DGH), about 9.2 km away. Fly if the trip is short or the distance is long, then take a cab or a train for the rest. At a small airport the last departure of the day can be early, so plan the arrival side carefully.
Ritual town, Shravan kanwar route. On a road trip the last stretch into the temple town is usually the slowest, and the hill and forest approaches can close in heavy monsoon rain or winter snow. Check the local road status the week you travel.
Rail. The trust gives Jasidih Junction at 7 km on the Howrah to Delhi line, Baidyanath Dham station at 2 km from the temple and Deoghar station at 3.5 km.

Train numbers, days of running and flight schedules are not printed here: they change with each timetable. This block records the approach the source describes, and the straight-line figure above is the only distance on this page.
The straight-line estimate uses these approximate coordinates, which are the city centre to one decimal place. They are not survey points, and they are only for this calculation.

July to August (Shravan), the pilgrimage the trust calls the temple peak is the comfortable window, and Open all year. Shravan brings the largest crowds of the year. Decide the mode first, then the day: a train needs booking weeks ahead in festival season, a flight is flexible but the last leg is not, and the road is the one that the weather can change.
