Virpur is one of the rare temple towns where the closest railway station shares the temple's name and sits within walking distance, about 1 to 2 km away. The catch is that Virpur station sees limited service, so many pilgrims still route through Rajkot Junction (approx 58 km), the best-connected railhead in the region, or use Gondal (approx 17 km) and Jetpur (approx 12 km) when coming from the Junagadh side.
By air, Rajkot is the nearest airport, roughly 55 to 65 km out, with the newer Rajkot International (Hirasar) also serving the wider area; from either you take a taxi or bus onward. By road, Virpur lies about 55 to 60 km from Rajkot (around 1.5 hours), 46 to 47 km from Junagadh, and roughly 270 km from Ahmedabad, a 5 to 6 hour drive. GSRTC state buses and private operators run this corridor frequently, and shared jeeps fill the gaps. Because published distances swing between 50 and 60 km depending on the source and the exact start point, budget a little buffer rather than treating any single figure as exact.
