These Bhuddist caves date back to the 1st century BC. The caves are considered to be amongst the earliest example of Bhuddist rock-cut architecture and an important source of historical record of the development of Bhuddist religious practices as it evolved up the 6th century CE. There are 24 four caves in total, all of which are cut into the hill of Trirasmi and requires a bit of climbing to see them all, but nothing I thought was too strenuous. Cave number 3 is the biggest, one of the most important and most richly decorated of all the caves One of the best things to see in Nashik

This place is in the brahmagiri hills which is about 5 KM from Trambakeshwar town. Take an auto upto the base of the hill and from there climb upto 300 steps up to reach the cave. Take a guide because there are lots of monkeys which attack tourists at times. The guide will chase those. In side the cave Gorakhnath's chimta and other accessories are there . There are two segments of the cave. The front and interior. A sadhubaba sits in front segment of the cave and will bless the visitor with ash. You can donate as per your wish.

Vaitarna Dam is near JenJon Lake Vaitrana and the water for this dam is drawn from the biggest lake in the region - the mighty Upper Vaitarna. It is a magnificent sight to be standing on the banks of this great dam and observe various activities like fishing, bird watching, boating, children frolicking on its banks etc. The nearby JenJon Lake Vaitarna Resort arranges for various picnics to the dam.

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.

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.

Such a calm nice place and very cool too. It was winter and the water was cooler than normal times, i guess. The body gets used to it after some time. Had to help each other to reach the waterfalls and jenjon staff helped a lot. Cannot reach here without any help.
