The rare convenience of Deoghar is a railway station almost at the temple's doorstep. Baidyanathdham station sits roughly 1 km from the sanctum, while the workhorse junction, Jasidih, lies about 7 km out and carries the long-distance trains from Delhi, Howrah, Patna, Mumbai and Varanasi. Most pilgrims arrive at Jasidih and take an auto, shared jeep or taxi into the temple town in 15 to 20 minutes.

By air, Deoghar Airport, also called Baba Baidyanath Airport, is about 12 to 16 km from the temple and handles domestic flights; Patna and Kolkata remain the larger fallback airports several hours away by road. By road the town is linked via NH114A and connecting highways to Bhagalpur, Dumka, Sultanganj and Ranchi. Kanwariyas famously arrive on foot, walking the roughly 105 km barefoot from Sultanganj on the Ganga during Shravan, so expect the approach roads to be dense with saffron processions in that month.
