1.5 km (about 30 minutes on foot). Most pilgrims combine Gupt Bhimashankar with the main darshan in a single morning or afternoon visit.
Open from 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Most pilgrims visit before or after the main aarti to avoid the heaviest crowds.
Most darshan points in Bhimashankar are free to enter. A small donation at the temple's hundi is customary; carry small-denomination notes for offerings.
Photography rules vary by site. Outside the sanctum is usually fine; inside the inner sanctum follow the same convention as the main Bhimashankar temple — phones in lockers, no photography. When in doubt, ask the priest at the entrance.
Bhimashankar has several darshan points within walking distance. After Gupt Bhimashankar, consider Hanuman Lake and Nagphani Point. The Day trips guide below has the full circuit suggestion.
