  About the Nashik

The Wine Capital of India, Nasik (also pronounced as Nashik), is a popular tourist destination and pilgrimage in Maharashtra. The City not only has a lot of temples but is also famous for the Sula Vineyards. According to the Ramayana, the banks of the Godavari river in Nashik is where Laxman cut Shoorpanakha's nose after she misbehaved with him and Lord Rama. It is also how Nashik got its name. Nasik also has the Trimbakeshwar temple which sees devotees from all over the country travelling to offer their prayers. It is believed that this is one of the 12 Jyotirlinga temples of Lord Shiva. The Trimbakeshwar temple lies between three hills, namely Nilgiri, Brahmagiri and Kalahari. The Kumbh Mela of Nashik also happens in this temple and has a lot of devotees attending the festival.

The Anjaneri Hills, which is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, is another major tourist attraction here. If you love yourself a nice trek, make sure you climb the hill instead of taking another mode of transportation.
