Nashik and Trimbakeshwar at dawn, then Bhimashankar and Grishneshwar, with Shani Shingnapur, Shirdi and Ellora on the way.

Pickup from your hotel in Nashik or from Nashik Road Railway Station, then straight to Panchavati for first light. Ramkund on the Godavari, the Kapaleshwar Mahadev temple on the steps above it — the only Shiva temple with no Nandi before it — the Kalaram Temple with its black stone idol of Rama, and the narrow Sita Gufa beside it. All four are within walking distance of each other.
Breakfast in Nashik, then a 45-minute drive west along the Trimbak road with the Brahmagiri range ahead.

Trimbakeshwar near Nashik, Bhimashankar in the Sahyadris, and Grishneshwar at Verul beside the Ellora caves. Maharashtra has five in total — Parli Vaijnath and Aundha Nagnath lie much further east and need a separate trip.
The 5:30 AM pickup buys the Panchavati temples at sunrise, when the Godavari ghats are at their best and the crowds have not arrived, and still puts you at Trimbakeshwar before the queue lengthens. It also leaves enough daylight for the forest ghat road into Bhimashankar.
Yes. Darshan needs online registration on the temple trust's website, shreebhimashankar.com. Register before the trip and choose an evening slot on Day 1 — the driver plans the day around it.
No. This is a taxi-only package covering the vehicle, driver and running costs for three days. Rooms at Bhimashankar and Shirdi are booked and paid for by you. Shirdi has plenty of choice; Bhimashankar has far fewer rooms, so book early for weekends and the Shravan month.

Darshan at the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga at the foot of Brahmagiri hill, in the mid-morning window before the queue builds. Then a short walk to Kushavarta Kund, the tank where the Godavari is said to rise.
South through Sinnar, Sangamner and Manchar, about five and a half hours with a lunch stop. The last stretch is a forest ghat road, and the day is planned so it is driven in daylight.
Darshan at the Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga in the slot you registered for. The temple sits below the parking area and is reached by a flight of steps. The evening aarti is at about 7:30 AM in the evening. Night halt at Bhimashankar.
An optional second darshan in the quiet, often misty early hours, or the short forest walk to Gupt Bhimashankar where the Bhima surfaces among the rocks, before breakfast.
Down the ghat and east through Manchar, Alephata and Ahilyanagar, about four and a half hours.
Darshan at the open-air Shani shrine, in the village known for its houses built without doors. Lunch nearby.
About an hour and a half north to Shirdi. Darshan at the Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir, then Dwarkamai, Gurusthan and Chavadi within the same complex, and the evening aarti. Night halt at Shirdi.
An early start for Verul, about two and a half hours from Shirdi.
Darshan at Grishneshwar, the last of the twelve Jyotirlingas. Men remove their shirts to enter the sanctum.
About two hours at Ellora, a few minutes from the temple, centred on the Kailasa temple carved downward out of a single rock. Ellora is closed on Tuesdays; on a Tuesday this becomes a stop at Bhadra Maruti in Khuldabad instead.
Lunch, then west through Vaijapur and Yeola, about four and a half hours.
A last stop at Muktidham, the white Makrana marble temple holding replicas of all twelve Jyotirlingas — a fitting close after seeing three of them. Drop at your hotel or Nashik Road Railway Station at about 6:30 AM in the evening, where the tour ends.
Yes. Pickup and drop can be at the station or at your hotel anywhere in Nashik. The Day 3 drop is at about 6:30 in the evening, which suits most evening and overnight trains — tell us your train time when booking so the last stop can be adjusted.
Only at Bhimashankar, where the temple sits below the parking area and is reached by a long flight of steps that you climb back up on the way out. Ellora involves walking on uneven rock. Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, Shirdi, Shani Shingnapur and the Panchavati temples are level walks from the vehicle.
Yes, within reason. A fourth day for a slower pace, Ajanta Caves, Daulatabad Fort, Saptashrungi at Vani or a longer stop at Shirdi can be added if discussed before booking, since they change the driving hours. Route changes requested mid-tour may carry extra cost.
Stay, meals, GST, entry tickets such as the Ellora ticket, special or VIP darshan passes, pooja charges, guide and porter fees, personal expenses, insurance, and anything not listed under inclusions. Running beyond the agreed kilometre limit is charged separately.
Shravan Mondays and Mahashivratri draw very heavy crowds at all three Jyotirlingas, and queues can run several hours. Nashik and Trimbakeshwar will also be crowded through the Simhastha Kumbh. If you are travelling then, book well ahead and expect the daily schedule to stretch.
