Trimbakeshwar
A 4-kilometre trek from Trimbakeshwar town climbs the Brahmagiri plateau to a small sacred kund at 4,250 feet where the Godavari river originates as a spring from the earth. The trail passes through dense forest, past rock-cut caves and small shrines, and the summit offers 360-degree views over the Sahyadri range. It is one of the most spiritually significant treks in Maharashtra.
Start no later than 7 AM to complete the trek before the afternoon heat. The trail gets slippery during and just after monsoon — avoid June to September. Carry 2 litres of water as there are no shops on the trail.
