Category: Nashik, Maharashtra

Nashik is Maharashtra’s most layered destination — a pilgrimage city of great antiquity on the Godavari River, the host of the Kumbh Mela, and simultaneously the wine capital of India where vineyards produce award-winning Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz in the same hills where the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga draws thousands of Shiva devotees daily. The cave temples of Pandav Leni, the ancient ramparts of Anjeri Fort, the Sula Vineyards, and the extraordinary grape harvest festivals of February make Nashik one of the most versatile weekends from Mumbai that Maharashtra offers. Come for the wine, stay for the temples, and return for the fruit farms.
