Marine Drive

Bordering the Arabian Sea, this famous road is a popular spot for watching sunsets, and is gorgeous when lit up at night.

Reviewed By Inakshisobti - Mumbai, India

A drive on Marine Drive in the evening affords great night vistas of Mumbai's skyline dotted with lights.. the walkway that adjoins the Sea makes for a pleasant walk and faces the Arabian Sea on one end and a line of Art Deco heritage buildings ( some in need of repair) on the opposite side... although a busy road, Marine Drive or the Queens necklace as it is referred to on account of its natural curve and string of pearl overhead lights is an integral icon of Mumbai.

Saptashrungi

Reviewed By 007Wanderer01 - Mumbai, India

Saptshringi nivasini mata is represented by a huge idol with 16 hands. Her Aura instantly attracts. We went there from Nasik on the way to Saputara. Road.is good. Ride to hill top is very smooth and approach road is excellent. There was huge rush and took us 2 hours even with the funicular. No social distancing in the Corona times, even though they insist on mask. Funicular is really a well maintained a well operated boon for the devotees. Its not a Rodeway but railway i think. I was carrying my mother who is 72 year old and physically frail.There is an arrangement for wheel chair along with escort for senior citizen with extra cost of INR100, which makes Darshan quite easy for them. Funicular rate is now INR 100 PP.

Trimbakeshwar Shiva Temple

Reviewed By Bhaskar_10 - New Delhi, India

Had darshan on 26/12/19 - Evening Had darshan on 27/12/19 - Early Morning Travelled from Nashik old CBS stand and it is 2 hrs drive. Ticket price INR 40/- and bus leaves every 30 minutes. Stayed at Shri Gajanan Ashram and the bus drops you right at the gate. Ashram is at a distance of about 1 km away from temple gate and one can easily walk else there are share auto at INR 10/- per person which drop you till the temple. Had evening darshan after a 4 1/2 hour wait in the queue. Next day morning 5.30am had darshan in 1 hour wait. Early morning darshan is desirable as rush is less. Additionally during evening there is a donation queue where one can pay INR 200/- and have darshan in 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. Hope this helps for those who are going to the temple for the 1st time. Jai Trimbakeshwar Shiv Ji
