What an amazing place... The great place to spend time with family and friends. Ticket rates were 600 pp on weekdays and 1000 pp on weekends.. The entry tickets can be redeemed inside the vineyards with multiple options.. You can go for the wine testing tour or you can redeem your tickets inside cafe located on upper floor.. In wine testing tour you can try different varieties of wines served in small portions.. Overall had an amazing wine testing experience at vineyards and enjoyed a lot with the great ambiance....

Sula Vineyards is nice when visited during monsoons or winters. They have open as well as covered parking. The entry fee for weekends is Rs 1000 per adult. No entry fee for children at least upto age of 13. The fee is a cover charge and can be used to buy food and wine inside. They have a nice path to take a walk around to see the place and click a lots of pictures however if you are visiting with a toddler, I recommend you get your stroller along. They have a golf cart or buggy but that is only for the ones who are staying at their hotel. The tour was okay as all that was showed to us was the storage containers and a lot of theory. We enjoyed the wine tasting but if you are a bigger group then I would suggest that you skip it and enjoy the wine on their terrace restaurant using your coupons at your own pace. Food here is not great. I had their pizzas and cheese platter. Cheese platter being the worst. They have other restaurant too. Overall a scenic place, not much to offer than tasty wines.

If you love Wine, this is the place to visit. Sula Vineyards - The place where wine is made. If you love wine and you want to know more about how it's been made, then this is the place to visit. You can get a tasting of wines and a tour of the vineyard, it is a half an tour where you get to know how wine is made and how it is been aged, if you opt for tasting, you get to taste 5 different wines(including red and white wine). Overall a great place where you can click pictures and have fun. There is a restaurant where you can have food as well. The entry that you pay, can get redeemed for anything, including wine bottles or tasting tours and any souvenirs or gift items that is available. January to March is supposed to grapes season, so if you visit that time of the year, then you might get to do the Grape-treading or grape-stomping, if the covid situation has eased out. Overall a great experience.

This one is a must visit for a good quality time with friends and spouse. Also a highly instragammable spot for all photo lovers. They educate about process of wine making and have tasting sessions. Food served is fine. Great Ambiance, view and a mix of positivity around makes this place everyone’s favourite

Had a memorable stay here. Stayed in a treehouse cottage in Apr this year. Came back for more in May and stayed in Vintage room. The staff is very friendly. Their wine tasting sessions are quite good and exhaustive. The Wine tasting sessions are improving very fast - this time was even better than the one in Apr 23. The sourdough sandwiches are something to remember. Their amphitheatre had an awesome ambience for dinner. A memorable stay 👌

The place is very nice and great to explore. I visited on public holiday so it was but crowded i will suggest to avoid holiday dates. Rooms are also available. Tickets are 1500 for both. It's like money inside. You can use 1500 voucher for dining and drinks. Sunset is amazing. Shops are there, you can get the different types of wine and many more things like Keychain, magnet.... The photography through DSLR/ Mobile is allowed ✅️. Parking is available.

During my visit to Sula Vineyards last year, I had the pleasure of experiencing the renowned number one vineyard of Nashik. One of the highlights was trying their Zinfandel Rose wine, which was truly mouthwatering. The wine had an amazing taste that was both refreshing and flavorful, leaving a lasting impression. The vineyard's commitment to producing exceptional wines was evident in every sip. Aside from the exquisite wine, the view from the top restaurant was truly heartwarming. The picturesque surroundings added to the overall ambiance, creating a serene and enjoyable atmosphere. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable culinary experience, Sula Vineyards offers a perfect blend of stunning views and delectable wines. From the vineyard's top-notch hospitality to the breathtaking scenery, my visit to Sula Vineyards was nothing short of remarkable. I highly recommend visiting this vineyard for an unforgettable journey into the world of wine, accompanied by breathtaking vistas that will capture your heart.

Lovely tour. The tour guide was very energetic and informative. I had booked a room at their affiliate properties- Beyond and this wine tasting tour was complimentary in it. Beyond also arranged for a cab for the drop and pickup from the vineyards. The vineyards were beautiful,hygienic and very interesting. The weather was great and all the wines tasted exclusive and different. I got to taste 6 different varieties of wine and all of them were unique and exquisite!

Located beyond the midc area at Nashik. Nice cool place with ample green lush. You can tour the process of wine making. The restaurant is good. Good place for photography. The entry charges during weekend is Rs.1000/-, which seems to be high. Other days it is Rs. 600 per head.However, they issue coupon for said amount which can be redeemed for purchase of wine, gift articles, food etc. Overall a nice place to visit.

Very beautiful place for a day outing. Right from entering the place looks amazing. Completely neat and clean. The restaurant is good, but little expensive. All the wines are sold at MRP, I think if they are prepared there, there should be some discount so that people can buy. Most of the people buys just to cover the charges they have paid at the entrance. There are cover charges which you need to pay at the time of entry. Weekdays-600 per person Weekends-1000 per person Huge parking space is available which is not chargeable. Overall nice place to visit with family/gang to have fun and click beautiful pictures.

What an amazing time we had at Sula !!! To see and learn the process of wine making and sampling the varieties was truly a wonderful experience and educational. The vineyard in itself is a beautiful space nestled in a scenic landscape just outside the city of Nashik. With luxury rooms, restaurants, gift shops, and a tasting room to try different wines, Sula Valley is the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

Sula wine is often hailed as a must-visit destination, but in my opinion, it falls short of the hype. Their entry fees alone are exorbitant, demanding at least Rs 600 on weekdays and Rs 1000 on weekends, with no exceptions. Although they provide coupons equivalent to the entry fee, the overall cost is still staggering. Paying such a hefty sum for a mere 60 ml wine tasting feels unjustifiable, especially considering the underwhelming quality of their wines. On a positive note, the place boasts picturesque decorations that are sure to entice your camera lens. However, it's worth noting that they charge more than the MRP on their wine bottles. In our case, we ended up paying Rs 1110 instead of the listed Rs 1039 for a single bottle.

Great place to hang out, it close from Nashik about 15 minutes drive, entry is around ₹800 per person and the amount can be redeemed inside the restaurant and bar, though the food is costly and food quality is great. Great place to explore on Weekend with family and friends

What a awesome place to visit. You can have some nice pictures clicked here and can check the wine yard. The cover charges are 1k per person and the charges for tour of wineyard where they will explain you the process of production of wines and tasting 6 wines is 600 bucks. But the place is really good specially enjoying the long drive to visit here and an excellent weather will make your mood to love this place 😍

It is just fine. It is better for only wine lovers or those who wish to try wine for the first time. It costs 1000 per head of which you compulsorily need to spend 600 only on wine. A few incharges at the entry gate were arrogant. The place is only picturesque and nothing much. You can have a tour of the factory and the process of wine making. The food is good taste-wise but otherwise the prices were steep.

Sula Vines is a paradise for wine aficionados. The comprehensive tour elucidates the wine-making process, culminating in a delightful tasting session. With a souvenir shop and wine store on-site, it's a perfect opportunity to bring home memories and bottles of your favorite wine. Ample parking adds to the convenience.

This place is good for spending some time if in Nashik. We went in morning around 11ish and it was already crowded. They have various photo booths and points where good pictures can be taken. Entry fees is 600/- per person on weekdays and 1000/- on weekends and they can be used in the restaurants inside. You can pay for winery tour also where they show how wines are made and wine tasting too. The restaurant has really good trendy vibes but is certainly overpriced and the stuff isn’t that good. They have in campus hotel to stay called the Source. Overall one time visit place

Holy worship temple of Lord Shiva, situated at an amazing hill location. Don't fall in trap of 2 km away parking and paying extra to policemen outside, the free parking is available inside and from that parking spot, the temple is only 300 meters away. Separate counter for VIP entry is available which charges 200/- per person (recommended as there is a lot of rush). The general entry encompasses of 4 big halls but very good arrangements are already made such as sitting, water etc. for the people standing in lines. Outside the temple, everything is available from restaurants to urinals. The weather of this place is very amazing and the scenery is mesmerizing.

Peaceful place to visit. Roads to temple are nice. There are two option to visit, free or paid. I suggest to take paid one, as it is less crowded. Parking is available around 500m away from temple. Many restaurants and hotels available near by. Weekend is usually crowded.

We came from the paid queue and even their the waiting was more than 3 hours. The management is really very bad. They did not even provide water to drink for people in the queue. Overall the temple is just amazing and worth the wait actually. But we’re not allowed to see the lord for even 5 secs the security was pushing people no matter male or females.

Very sacred place to visit when you are worshipping shiva, also explored near by places. But I don’t like the fact that the temple is not maintained at all when they have such a huge crowds coming.

One of the eight jyotirlinga. Must visit. Best time to visit is monsoon.

This is a sacred place located in Nashik. It is one of the 12 Jyotirling in India. There are two types of entry in the temple, one with the general queue which is free and the other where you could buy tickets for 200 per person. You do not need to buy prior tickets but can buy from the ticket counter located near to the temple.

Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Mandir is a sacred place that I had the privilege of visiting. This ancient temple holds great significance as one of the twelve Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva. The serene atmosphere and architectural beauty of the temple left me in awe. The temple's intricate carvings and traditional design are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The sanctity and spirituality that permeate the air create a deeply profound experience for devotees and visitors alike. Located in the scenic town of Trimbak, Maharashtra, the temple is nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by the majestic Brahmagiri Hills. The natural beauty that surrounds the temple adds to the overall aura of tranquility. The visit to Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Mandir was not just a religious journey but also an opportunity for inner reflection and peace. It is a place where one can connect with spirituality and experience a sense of divine presence. Whether you are a religious pilgrim or someone seeking a serene and spiritual atmosphere, Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Mandir offers a sacred and memorable experience that leaves a lasting impression on one's soul.

One of the finest and oldest Shiva temples. Special darshan took more than 3 yrs for us. But it's all worth at the end. The climate,the temple and every other thing related to there is so beautiful to watch and it was really an eye treat. Once in a lifetime experience. 🤗

Holly place, very clean. Temple trust should allow payment for Rs. 200 darashan tickets using UPI or any digital payment method, only accepting cash is something that should be avoided. Vendors shops outside temple are accepting digital payment, but why temple authority is not allowing digital payment is hard to understand. otherwise all facilities are quite good. but small change can bring in lot of convenience to pilgrims 🙏.

Amazing place, the temple is so beautiful. The backdrop is beautiful. Also visit Annapurna temple right where the parking is and see the view. Feel so amazing.

Loved the temple n area nearby. It's not completely clean but well maintain. We parked our vehicle at gate no 2 mauli parking which they charged 100 which is costly. But plenty free space n just 200m from the temple. We paid 400/ per head and got the Darshan in 1 hour. Quite n nice place with amazing temple structure.

Very aesthetically created temple. Thanks to very few pilgrims in the early morning, esp during Covid, one way able to spend time admiring the high quality carvings on the facade, the walls, the stairs and doorway. It was funny to see the priests, out of sheer habit, rushing the devotees even if there was no one behind them. Wish there was an audio guide.

The Trimbakeshwar temple is located Little inside from the main road. Amidst a bustling market. Be careful with your shoes n belongings. Mobiles are not allowed in the temple. There is one more temple located on the hill, you can visit that as well. It provides the beautiful view of hills n the city.

A good place encased in the nature canopy and you can experience trekking and beautiful waterfalls... but. Don't you dare go on weekends, I can assure you will have to wait for more than 4 hours in the queue. VIP tickets worth 200rs per head is another way, but there's also a queue to get the ticket ... Trust me, and plan your day on the weekdays. Or else you can suffer like me 😅

Must visit place. If you’re in Nashik then you have to visit. Visited on weekdays so not that much crowded. To control crowds they but queue. Hope they will add more painting and mural for kid to to learn about Lord Shiva. Overall great experience. Temple parking is available, they charge 50/- per car and 50/- for car entry into premises. Temple is just few hundred meters far from temple parking so park your vehicle.

Be ready to spend about 2 3 hours minimum. They have an option to buy some passes (on donation grounds)to allow preferential entry. It works on some days and the general line is quicker sometimes. The donation for individual pass started at 200 each. Its a beautiful temple with stunning architecture and is a Jyotirlinga

Amazing piece of ancient history. Lovely temple. Full of positive vibes. Great architecture. Huge waiting time. People trying to misguide tourist by offering special darshan without line for 1000, 2000 rs. This should be curbed.

🔱|| हर हर महादेव ||🔱 I recently visited the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Temple in Nashik, Maharashtra, India and it was an incredible experience! The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India.🙏 In Every Jotirlinga you will see only Lord Mahadev but at this place you will see Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh in One temple and in One linga. Such a peaceful place.🌄🛕 The temple is located in a scenic area surrounded by hills and a river, adding to its beauty. You can go with donation queue by paying ₹200 but in this line too you will get a little bit time for darshan rather than general queue.👥👥 The origin of Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga dates back to ancient times. It is believed that the temple was built by the Pandavas during the Mahabharata era. According to Hindu mythology, the Godavari River originates from the Brahmagiri Mountains, and Lord Shiva himself resides in the form of Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga at the source of the river. The temple has undergone several renovations and restorations over the years. It's definitely a must-visit if you're in Maharashtra and looking for a spiritual and cultural experience! 🙏🏼✨ 🔱|| हर हर महादेव ||🔱

This temple is one of the Jyotirlinga and Kumbh is also conducted here . Located in the town of Trimbakeshwar must visit place for Hindus and all having faith in the religion. Almost drive of 40 min from Nasik , beautiful highway with good eating places all the way. this temple is situated in the foothills of Brahmagiri hills and it is said that river Godavari originates from here. Very old structure made up of stones and carved intricate sculptures. To have darshan of Linga, mirrors are placed above it on the back of wall to enable devotees to see deity. Thjis temple is always heavily crowded by devotees and you need to stand in queue for long time or you buy VIP pass for Rs 200/- per person to bypass queue. then also you need to wait for almost an hour. You need to Bribe pandits if you wish to perform puja or have clear darshan. Inside also the behave of pandits and caretakers behave is very disappointing as they are rude and keep pushing you. Need to be managed in befitting way. Outside the temple is big market selling all type of items. But the area is not very well maintained. Parking is available but you need to park at some distance and walk almost a KM. local area is very dirty and not pleasing to eyes, as it is famous religious place and historical temple. But you feel divine after visiting this place.

As famous, it is one of 12 jyotirling ! Had started early reached just before 7 am. Had taken donation passes and took 45 min. But other line seem to be good 2- 3 hrs. Worth the wait and patience! Blessed with Darshan.

We visited on the weekend so obviously there was too much rush. So we decided to stay overnight and got up early in the morning. Though the queue was long, we got the darshan in half hour. The darshan experience was divine. The temple has historical importance. There are ample of stay options near and around the temple. We got affordable option of rs 650/-for a night. Do carry your id cards for stay in a nice place. There are many varieties of food eateries on the street too and nice restaurants too. The streets are filled with multiple and affordable shopping options. We need to bargain a bit to get the best price. Only issue we faced was of mosquitoes. So do carry Odmos Or any other mosquito repellent with you to avoid the mosquito bites. Hope the local authorities look in the matter of cleaning the streets too!!

One of the twelve jyotirlings of Lord Shiva. A very well maintained, ancient temple complex with multiple entry gates. One needs to wait in line for darshan, but it is worthwhile as there is a huge mirror above Shivlingam so that everyone can do a proper darshan. There are many eating places and souvenir shops nearby.

hat is your experience at Darshan in the Trimbakeshwar Temple? What is perfect way to visit a Shiva temple and approach the shivling (the technicalities, plase dont say bhakti, etc, that's obvious) as per the scriptures (what to wear, what mantras to chant, order of deities to be worshipped, etc)? I hear you. There are, certainly, rules or factors that are dear to God and compatible with the Shiva Puja, especially those that are ritualistic and done in temples or in one’s puja. my answer is going to be long and comprehensive, but please go through it, so, that I can provide all the necessary information and points. You can do anything in Bhakti, where no rituals are being followed. But no temple visit or ritual worship is exempt from ideal and expected conduct. Before entering the temple, keep yourself bodily and mentally pure. Head bath and clean clothing. You better not have eaten any profane food at least one or two days before, like meat, intoxicants like alcohol etc. But being on Satwika Bhojana always is best. (Brahmacharya is good too, but optional, be as Satwika/pious in body and mind as possible) White colour / Subhra Barna/ शुभ्र बर्ण​ is dear to Mahadeva. So, white clothing and offering of white flowers is good. Dress in ethnic wear if you can, like dhoti or saree. First, offer Namaskara to Nandi Deva with some Bilwa Patra and flowers. State your desire and respect for him and Shiva in his ears. Strike the bell or Mandira Ghanti. It is like calling bell or doorbell of his house :-) After bowing down, offer the first prayer to Lord Ganesha. Because Mahadeva has given him the Prathama Pujya (First to be worshipped before any Puja) power. He will take away any hurdles to your worship and make your prayers or intentions successful. Om Gam Ganapataye Namah बक्रतुडं महाकायं सुर्य कोटि सम​-प्रभम् निर्बिघ्नम कुरु मे देव सर्ब कार्येशु सर्बदा | Bakratundam Mahakayam Suryakoti Samaprabham Nirbighnam Kuru Mein Deva Sarba Karyeshu Sarbada. I assume you know the meaning of the mantra, if not, put in comments if you do want me to add the meaning. Knowing correct pronunciation as well as the meaning of the Mantra is necessary. Then proceed first to offer your prayer devotion to Shiva, then Parvati, then both of them together. Start with a Shiva Dhyana Mantra. It does the ice breaking and connecting part. Like ध्यायेन्नित्यं महेशं रजतगिरिनिभं चारुचन्द्रावतंसं रत्नाकल्पोज्ज्वलाङ्गं परशुमृगवराभीतिहस्तं प्रसन्नम्। पद्मासीनं समन्तात् स्तुतममरगणैव्व्याघ्र कृत्तिं वसानं विश्वाद्यं विश्वबीजं निखिलभयहरं पञ्चवक्त्रं त्रिनेत्रम्॥ Knowing the meaning of the Mantras and pronouncing them correctly is always compulsory and more effective and more apt, both for mantra siddhi and for spiritual communication ritually and for maintaining their sanctity.

Management issues. Line was very long. It took almost 3+ hours in line. Temple is nice especially the architecture!! Advice 1. Go early as soon as possible 2. Carry a water bottle 3. Eat something 4. Be prepared and come Thanks

Nice temple however the people Management in queue requires a lot of improvement. You can find good and average hotels there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I liked the temple but honestly not the queue, maybe due to i visited on 26th January.

Temple is nice especially the architecture!! We visited on weekday darshan was done in only 25 Minutes. We parked our vehicle at Mauli parking the parking fee was 100rs only. There were some Donation entry tickets for 200rs per person- Which we did not use we took the regular lane. — Advice — 1. Go early as soon as possible 2. Carry a water bottle 3. Eat something 4. Be prepared and come 5. Try to visit on weekdays

It is very good place..there are 250-300 steps to climb but they are not very difficult..you can easily take rests in between.. Also the view from top is very serene..it is definitely worth the climb..we went in middle of monsoon so it is advised to climb very carefully.. We encountered a person who had a fall in one of the caves and broke his thigh.. The ticket is only 25 rs and definitely nice place the carvings takes u back to the ancient times and it makes u feel proud about ancient India..

The Pandavleni Caves existence dates back to some 2000 years.The cave complex comprised of numerous water tanks that were chiselled into rock and large caves. Several sculptures of Buddha are also situated in these caves.Some of the caves are large and contain numerous chambers,these rock-cut caves served as a viharas or monasteries. They contain interesting sculptures.

Except cleanliness rest all natural and good

Attractive caves, nice to see and study. Very cool place. Don't miss when you are in Nashik.

Great place to visit..... historical caves are repaired at few places....... Lots of Buddha statues......with nice carving......on walls..... You will surely love this place...... The environment is also very clean....After reaching the top of the mountain......any one can see the whole city..

Best place to visit while in Nashik, ancient Buddhist caves carved in mountain. And this place is popular for small trek also.

Awesome place ...I suggest please come in this place

The pandavleni caves are a prime attraction of tourists even foreigners. These are the caves where Pandavs held shelter during their vanvas in the age of Mahabharata. There are around 20 caves here. They have inscriptions on caves. Also there are ancient made sculptures in them. It is a proof of our divine and great history.

The caves, known as Trirashmi Buddhist Caves (erroneously known as Pandav Caves) were carved out from the 1st century BCE until the 3rd century CE, with later additions of sculptures.[5] They were paid for by local Buddhist royalty, merchants and local people for the Buddhist monks. The name is derived from the word "Tiranhu" which is inscribed in the Caves.[6][7] It means "rays of sunlight" which is quite obvious referring to the rays of sunlight emerging from behind the Caves as seen from the village. These caves were carved and donated by various kings that ruled Nashik - The Satavahanas, The Nahapanas, The Abhirs. The caves lodge idols of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Some caves are intricately connected by stone-cut ladders that join them to the other caves. Steps lead to the caves from the bottom of the hill. The peak of the Trirashmi Caves is also accessible by trekking of about 20 mins but the path is well built with steps.[8]

However, during the first Islamic attack on the temple, the idol of the deity was thrown in the Godavari River by the Temple Brahmins in order to save it. The new temple was funded by Sardar Rangarao Odhekar, and was rebuilt around 1788. It took 12 years to built. It been beloved that Odhekar had a dream that the statue of Rama in black colour was in the Godavari River.He carried out expedition of reviving the idol and miraculously got it.

🌟 Loved my visit to Kala Ram Mandir in Nashik during Diwali! This ancient temple in Panchavati, by the Godavari river, is super special. It's like a cozy, peaceful spot away from the usual hustle. During Diwali, the temple was all lit up and looked so pretty. The whole vibe was like a warm hug. It was a chill break from the usual busy scene.

This is a beautiful temple near Sita Gufa in the Panchavati area of Nashik. Here Ram Lalla's idol is black similar to the Ayodhya one. The history of this temple is old. Sardar Rangrao Odhekar during 17th century once had a dream that Ram Lalla's black idol is submerged somewhere in Godavari River. He started a search mission and fortunately found the idol and that's how this modern day temple was built around 1790's. The ambience around the temple is serene and vibes are very positive. I have posted my reviews about Sita Gufa as well.

The Sita Gufa, also spelt as Sita Gumpha or Sita Gupha, is an important location associated with the Ramayana, an epic tale crucial to the narrative of modern Hinduism. It essentially translates to the Cave of Sita, who was the wife of Rama, the protagonist of Ramayana and heir apparent to the throne of Ayodhya. Rama is sentenced to a 14-year exile into the jungles, and he eventually spends many years in Panchavati, a region in what is now Nashik, Maharashtra.

One of the Important place in Ramayana. Go on weekdays . Medium size person can only enter the cave.

It's one of those things, where if the service isn't accomodating, the entire experience is sour. The gufa was a 2-min journey inside, exploring the carved out cave with the gods and goddesses. Overall, it's good to check this place out but it doesn't stand out as expected.

This is at a walking distance from Kalaram Temple and considered to be the place from where Ravana took Sita. This is close to Panchavati (5 trees). Only one person of medium size can enter the cave at a time, and there is lot of suffocation inside. Heavy crowd during weekends and holidays.

Its an ancient gufa where Goddess Sita used to stay. Its a good experience, the entry of Gufa seems small and we might feel we will not fit in but even a fat person can go through that entry its like small sections. You also get autos here who help you visit the other important places which is must visit to nashik these places are nearby. Photography is not allowed here, you have queue sometimes on the way
