Private Nashik Tour

Religious and Holy Nashik, famous for its Shirdi pilgrimage center, is a bustling city integrating ancient with modern. It is best known as the pilgrimage site for the Panchvati Kumbh Mela marked by millions of devotees plunging into the river Godavari (believed to cleanse their souls and lead to salvation). Considered to be the largest peaceful gathering in the world, an estimated 100 million people visited during the Maha Kumbh Mela in 2013, which is held every 3rd year rotating at 1 of 4 places – Nashik, Ujjain, Haridwar and Allahabad. Several forts and temples dot Nashik – the 2,000-year old Pandu Lena Caves, the 4ft high Sita Gufaa surrounded by five Vad trees (where, according to Indian mythology, Ravana kidnapped Sita), and the old Lord Rama Hindu shrine Kala Ram Mandir.
