Baner Hill

Reviewed By YogeshLad - Pune, India

This place has access from Pashan bridge end and has different diversions to go to Pashan road or to Baner Temple that diverts from the water tank. The track is clean, you can see lot of plantations going on around before the temple and not too many people for walk in morning. Nice view of the River, surrounding areas and skyline can be observed. Must visit.

Anjneri Hill

Reviewed By Departure710435 - Nashik District, India

Ideally this is the best place to visit in Nashik after Brahmagiri trek in Trimbakeshwar. The administration should have repaired this place during Kumbh Mela. Tourists would have come in droves. Park your car at the Bottom and walk up the trail up. It is slippery, so wear good shoes. In the rainy season it is awesome for the selfie crazy crowd. But I love the winters. It is cold and the best season to visit. Carry lots of water. Because of the broken trail, I will not suggest small kids doing the trek. It takes 4 hours to up and come down.

Brahmagiri Hill

Reviewed By sumoysen

Recently in during the Christmas (Dec 2018) we had visited Brahmagiri hill near Trimbakeswar and the trip was excellent. Though people say that those hill areas are good during or after the monsoon due to their greenish views but visiting this time in winter will give you another side of the image. The hills will look quite dry but you will be able to notice the wall like rocks along the Brahmagiri or Sahayadri ranges. We went to this place from Trimbakeswar. If you have your own car and if it is small hatchback and of you are quite confident in driving along the narrow ghat roads then you can go of your own. But I suggest you take the rental autos from Trimbakeswar who will charge you between 400-600 for to and fro trips as that you give you some relaxation due to not driving but viewing the beauty of the nature. Once you reach Brahmagiri (some 10-12 kms which will take 45 mins) you will be de-boarded from your vehicle at the entrance of the ghat. Then you have to take a rough muddy road for about 1 kms and then the stairs start. There are lots of Palki (palanquin) services available for aged and/or physically challenged people (and also for kids to have fun) - they take some 800-1000 for taking you in those palkis. A single adult or 2-3 kids can sit on one Palki. There are around 180-200 steps to reach Ganda Dwar or Ganga Mandir which is the origin of river Godavari (The river Godavari is called Dakshin Ganga or the Ganges of the Southern India and hence the names Ganga Dwar or Ganga Mandir. There is another route to reach Brahmagiri or Ganga Dwar which is from Trimbakeswar State highway and in that case you have to climb around 750 steps. Suggestable is this route where you can go through vehicle and then climb for 150-200 steps. Once you reach Ganga Dwar then you can view the Kund (well) to witness the origin of river Godavari. The same hill hosts many other tourist places like 108 Shiva lingam caves (bit narrow and you have to be very careful while walking along the route) and other caves like Rishi Goutam and Rishi Gorakh. But once you reach and visit there then you will be able to witness a different feeling by realizing how those sages did their tapasyas in those caves thousands of years ago. Atop the hill there are many other caves and Shiva lingams but to reach there you have to cross some 1500 steps from the down State highway. But visiting Ganga Dwar or Ganga Mandir and other nearby caves in of great worth considering the rough routes and those 200-300 steps climbing. Also you will find water bottles, sugarcane juice and some biting food stalls. You can hire bamboo sticks as well (hardly 10-15 Rs per stick) if you need a support while climbing up. Overall it's quite a good place to visit with family and kids (ensuring the parents take care of their kids safety). Considering travel time of nearly 2 hours to and fro Trimbakeswar it is worth staying there for another 2-3 hours.

Western Ghats

Reviewed By RajaniB32

Western ghats in and around Pune are simply awesome. It gives a feeling of being close to Mother Nature. The views of mountains ranges in the ghats and the horizon is very nice. The forested areas on the mountains , the greenery around are best views to enjoy in a city like Pune. A drive through the roads on the ghats is adventurous and breath taking.

Vetal Hill

Reviewed By creativewanderess - Pune, India

This hill is known by various names. Vetal Tekdi or MIT Tekdi or rather ARAI hill is full of natural beauty that would mesmerize you and keep you energized the entire day if you happen to go on a morning trail over here. Sunrise and sunset at Vetal hill is home to many photographers.The chirping of the birds, soothing environment, that green feel, the fresh air and the sound of different creatures overall makes it an amazing soothing experience.
