Anjaneri Hill
अंजनेरी
The birthplace of the monkey god Hanuman, a flat-topped hill with a lake and temples, wrapped in mist during the monsoon. It is Nashik's most popular hiking route.
Anjaneri Hill lies on the road from Nashik to Trimbak, at an elevation of about 1,280 m. It is believed to be Hanuman's birthplace, and the flat hilltop holds the Anjani Devi Temple, a Hanuman temple and a small lake. The round-trip hike takes 2 to 3 hours and passes steps cut into rock walls and ancient Jain caves. At the foot of the hill are the ruins of a 12th-century temple. The scenery is best in monsoon season, but the paths are slippery, so wear non-slip shoes and watch out for monkeys snatching food. At the base is a currency museum run by the Indian Coin Research Institute.
