A short commute
Sinnar and Nashik are close enough that many people commute between them every day, and moves often happen when someone finally decides to live nearer work, or to give the family a city school. The highway runs north-west past farmland and the Shinde and Palse villages to Nashik Road, then into the city. The drive is short, so most of the time goes into loading and unloading.
Leaving Sinnar
Load outside MIDC shift changes, when the roads near the estates are crowded. Homes in the old town near the Gondeshwar temple may need a short carry to the truck. Staff colonies have their own handover process.
Where in Nashik
Nashik Road and Deolali, with the railway station and the cantonment, are closest. Indira Nagar, Gangapur Road and College Road have many apartment societies. The old city around Panchavati has narrow lanes. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Nashik societies
Many Nashik apartment societies want a note to the office, a gate entry and a booked lift. Our guide to society NOCs and lift bookings explains what to ask for.
Plant to plant
Engineers and supervisors often move between Sinnar's supplier units and the larger plants in Nashik's Satpur and Ambad estates. If an employer is paying, ask what documents they need; every mover we work with provides a GST invoice.
Weather
Both places are hot and dry from March to May, so load early. The monsoon is moderate, and winters are cool and pleasant.
October to February usually suits this route best.
Festivals
Ganeshotsav, Navratri, Diwali and the Kumbh Mela, when it falls, keep Nashik busy. Choose a date clear of them.
Students
A student moving to a Nashik college usually needs a few-items move. Check the hostel's dates first.
Packing for a short move
Even on a short route, ask for crockery in dish packs, the television in its own carton and wooden furniture in blankets. Keep documents and jewellery with you.
Keeping a foot in Sinnar
Many families keep their Sinnar house or farm after the move. Decide in advance what stays, lock it away, and keep a list.
Two-wheelers
A scooter or motorcycle can usually travel in the same truck if it is wrapped, photographed and listed separately. Our bike transport service page explains the options.
Nashik Road and Deolali
Nashik Road, with its railway station and the government printing presses, and Deolali, with its army camp, are the first parts of Nashik you reach. Both have their own colonies and rules. Give the exact address and a landmark.
Moving for school
Many families move from Sinnar to Nashik when children start secondary school or college. Check admission dates and plan the move around them.
Settling in
In Nashik, ask how the water supply works, register with the society office, and book internet as soon as you have the address. Our guide to address changes after moving lists the official records to update.
