Visit to Triambakeshwar Temple
After breakfast, head to Triambakeshwar Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas in India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is located at the foothills of the Brahmagiri mountain range. It is believed that a dip in the holy waters of the Godavari river, which flows through the temple complex, can wash away all sins. The temple has beautiful architecture and intricate carvings. You can also visit the nearby Kushavarta Kund, which is believed to be the origin of the Godavari river. After darshan, return to Nashik for the night.

The dam offers a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and is a popular picnic spot.
