Trimbakeshwar
Spend half a day to see the temple and nearby holy spots; add a night if you want a relaxed pilgrimage stay.
Trimbakeshwar is a small pilgrimage town in North Maharashtra, centred on the Jyotirlinga Shiva temple and the source of the Godavari River. Most sights lie within walking distance, so a few hours cover the core, while a night lets you avoid crowds during festivals.
