By train
The temple has no station of its own. The nearest railhead is Ujjain Junction, 2.8 km from the temple, with shared jeeps, buses and taxis for the last leg. Check current trains from Gwalior on IRCTC.
By air
The nearest airport is Indore Airport, 59.4 km from the temple. From Gwalior it is usually quicker to fly there and continue by taxi or bus than to drive the whole way.
