The moody Trimbakeshwar Temple stands in the centre of Trimbak, 33km west of Nasik. It’s one of India’s most sacred temples, containing a jyoti linga, one of the 12 most important shrines to Shiva. Only Hindus are allowed in, but non-Hindus can peek into the courtyard. Nearby, the waters of the Godavari River flow into the Gangadwar bathing tank , where all are welcome to wash away their sins.
Regular buses run from the Old Central bus stand in Nasik to Trimbak (₹30, 45 minutes).
