Brahmagiri Hill - History, Timings & Entry Fee

India | Maharashtra | Nashik

At a distance of 3 km from Trimbakeshwar Bus Station and 31 km from Nashik, Brahmagiri is a mountain adjacent to Trimbakeshwar in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra. Situated at an altitude of 1,298 m, Brahmagiri is the source of the sacred River Godavari. Brahmagiri literally means the hill of Lord Brahma. According to the mythology, sage Gautama and his wife Ahalya resided on this hill. A cow was unintentionally killed by Saint Gautama while trying to ward it off. To wash his sins, he worshipped Lord Shiva to bring river Ganga on earth from the heaven. Pleased with Sage Gautama's devotion, Lord Shiva requested Ganga river to flow down in the form of Godavari to make Sage Gautama pure. Hence, the river is also known as River Gautami. Earlier, Brahmagiri hill is considered as a huge form of Lord Shiva and hence the mountain climbing was considered as a sin. In the year 1908, Seth Lalchand of Karachi and Seth Ganeshdas built 500 stone steps at a cost of Rs. 40,000. This has facilitated easy access to Brahmagiri. One can see the water flows in three directions on the mountain. The one flowing towards east becomes Godavari River, one flowing towards the south is Vaitarna River and the one flowing towards the west is called the west-flowing Ganga and meets Godavari near Chakra Tirth. River Ahalya meets Godavari in front of the Trimbakeshwar temple. Sadyo-Jata, Vamdev, Tat-Purusha, Aghora and Ishana are the five peaks of Brahmagiri hills, which are considered as five mouths of the Lord Shiva. A 10 minutes' walk from Trimbakeshwar towards Brahmagiri brings visitors to a signboard that indicates the presence of wild animals and warning regarding the same. Then, the gradual ascent of 2 km brings you to the top of Brahmagiri Hill. It takes around 2 hours to reach the top of the Brahmagiri from Trimbakeshwar. One can see the temples of Lord Shiva and goddess Godavari at the top of Brahmagiri Hill. Godavari Temple is believed to be the origin of Godavari River. The river appears here as coming out from the mouth of Nandi. From here, the river flows till Gangadwar and then towards Kushavart teerth in Trimbakeshwar village. Kolambika Devi temple and a group of 108 shivlings are located nearby. The Brahmagiri hills with its rugged terrain are not only attractive to pilgrims but also nature and adventure lovers. There are many trekking trails nestled among the woody trees. The ranges are rich with natural attractions and scenic spots. The Brahmagiri hills are replete with natural beauty. The panorama of Brahmagiri hill is an eye treat. Timings: 6 AM to 6 PM

➤ Trail Information

Day 1:  trimbakeshwar  to trimbakgad.

• Height: 1294m(4245 feet)

The trek starts from MTDC guest house at Trimbakeshwar. The route ascends here and leads you towards a couple of stone steps. Just before the steps there is a Devi temple and an old Wada. An impressive Hanuman guards the front of Wada. The trail to Trimbakgad starts behind the Wada. The path is narrow, steep and as you ascend higher, there are well defined steps.

Beware of monkeys on this route.  To prevent the monkeys from snatching things, put all your belongings including water bottles inside your bag. En route the trail you come across a cave temple of Brahma and as you move further up you can spot the beautiful carved entrance of Trimbakgad. After some minutes, look out for a Hanuman temple.Water tanks, a small lake, a dilapidated Wada are other signages along the way. The climb gets cooler now as you ascend higher. Cool lemon juice sold on the way acts as an incentive to climb higher. After a couple of minutes of climb, you come across a plateau. Take a left from this plateau.

The trail ascends and after 30 minutes or so you reach the highest point of Trimbakgad -the Panchling Peak.  Enjoy the stunning views and take a short rest. Descend back towards the plateau. Towards the right of the plateau you can glimpse the Brahma Hill, Harihar fort and Utwad Peak. You can also view two temples Jatashankar temple and Ganga Godawari temple on the fort. The Jatashankar temple on the right is believed to be the place where Lord Shiva used his Jataa to form a water source.  A quick visit to this temple and then to Ganga Godawari temple and nearby water sources will take you approximately 30 odd minutes.

A path behind Ganga Godawari temple takes you towards Hatti Darwaja which is the main Darwaja of Trimbakgad. Take this path which leads to the Darwaja. The Darwaja is in ruins and buried beneath landslides and big boulders. Descend down this Darwaja and after some time you will observe a small Shiva temple. A ladder placed here will help you descend further towards Hatti Mate- a small hamlet. This short descent known as ‘Nali’ is beautiful and takes you to a Devi temple. A short visit to the temple and it is time to head back to Trimbakgad. Ascend back towards the starting point of Darwaja and walk ahead. As you move further up the trail, it gives way to big fortification structures. Follow the trail which is narrow and take care while walking as you pass by deep valleys below. The route takes you back towards the trail where steps for ascending Trimbakgad end. Descend climbing down the steps to get back to Trimbakeshwar.

Day 2:  Trimbakeshwar to Karvi fort

• Height: 915 m(3000 feet)

Though there is no historical significance attached to Karvi Fort and it was only considered as a watchtower for Brahmagiri,the trek on this route is challenging. A small stretch before the fort requires the usage of ropes to pass through it. The trek once again starts from MTDC guest house at Trimbakeshwar. The route ascends here and leads you to a series of stone steps. Take a left just before the steps.

Cutting across thick trees the trail then leads towards an old construction wall around a tree. Turn right here and keep walking until you spot a small hamlet called Jambhalech wadi. Take a right here. A kaccha road lies ahead with big boulders scattered on either side. You can find the Brahmagiri hill towards your right. Follow the trail until you reach a Devi temple amidst trees. Walk past this temple. After 15 minutes you will come across a pass between Karvi Fort and Brahmagiri. You can see the fortification on the cliff top of Brahmagiri from here. Take a left here as the path ahead leads to Hatti Mate. This trail leads to a Nali between Karvi fort and a left side hill. Scramble through the pass and at the end of Nali take a right. This leads to a couple of small carved steps on rock. Rope is required to climb this stretch. The climb takes you to Karvi fort. Enjoy a few minutes here for the breath taking view and then descend back by the same route as you came to reach Trimbakeshwar.

Day 3:  Trimbakeshwar to Durg Bhandar

• Height: 1234 m(4050 feet)

As the name ‘Bhandar’ suggests this place was meant as a storehouse for Brahmagiri. The Durg was under Trimbak Suryaji Prabhu, a warrior of Peshwa camp in 1972. It was later captured by the British in the year 1818. The trek starts from MTDC guest house at Trimbakeshwar. The route ascends here and leads you towards a couple of stone steps. Just before the steps there is a Devi temple and an old Wada.

An impressive Hanuman guards the front of Wada. The trail to Trimbakgad starts behind the Wada. The path is narrow, steep and as you ascend higher there are well defined steps.Enroute the trail you will come across a cave temple of Brahma and further up you can spot the carved doorway of Trimbakgad. When the steps end, you are on top of Brahmagiri. Take a right here. The path is very narrow at some places with deep valley on the right side. At the end of this path turn left and the fortification of Durg Bhandar is visible. You can find the figure of Hanuman carved on the right side of the rock wall.

The trail ahead takes you through steps that are cut on rocks. There is a tunnel here at the end of which is a rock cut entrance. You may have to bend and crawl through the entrance. The trail then gives way to a bridge connecting Brahmagiri and Durg Bhandar. Walk carefully here and you will soon come across a rock cut entrance door which is half buried due to mud. Pass through this door by bending slightly. Further up you can find steps that take you to the top of Durg Bhandar fort. Climb the steps until you come across a carved half circled bastion (Buruj) known as Kadelot Buruj. From here you can view Kachorli Dam, Supadichi wadi village.

• Height: 1120 m(3674 feet)

The starting point for this trek is from Nirgudpada (Take Harsh) village. This village can be reached from Trimbakeshwar by private vehicle.Take Harsh is a small village and so it is advisable to book a vehicle back for return journey as well. From Take Harsh all three hills viz Basgad-Fani-Harihar are visible. Take the route towards Harihar. The trail  ascends and passes through thick cover of trees to reach a plateau i.e between Fani and Harshgad. Take a right at this plateau and trek this route until you reach a couple of carved steps.

These steps take you to the doorway of Harshgad and to the rock cut gallery of Harshgad. The view of Brahma valley from this gallery is breath-taking and is not to be missed. After a short visit at the gallery follow the path ahead that leads you to the highest point of Harshgad. Enroute the trail you will encounter rock-cut narrow steps and further ahead is the carved entrance of Harshgad. Walk past the entrance.

• Height: Bhaskargad 1086 m(3564 feet), Utwad Peak 1244 m(4082 feet)

From Nirgurapada village turn right towards a ‘Kaccha’ road that leads to Jambhulpada village. The Kaccha road takes you to a pass between Fani Hill and Basgad. Take a left here as the way ahead goes to Jambhulpada village. The trail towards Basgad is ascending cutting through a thick forest. Walking past the trail  you will soon encounter a ridge. Climbing this ridge you reach the cliff of Basgad .  Keeping the Basgad massif on the left side walk for around 30 minutes till you hit a series of carved stone steps of fort on the left side.

Barring a few steps in the beginning you will find that the steps to the top are completely dilapidated. After the climb you will reach the beautiful half buried Darwaja of Basgad. Bending through this Darwaja you  reach  the top of Basgad. Another 10 minutes climb will take you to a lake, some dry water tanks, a stone idol of Hanuman and dilapidated Wada. Some fortification can be seen at the edge. Wonderful view of Fani peak, Brahma Hill and Harshgad can be seen from here. Utwad peak can also be trekked from this place. To trek to Utwad peak turn back till you reach the stone steps and then turn left. The path goes by the side of Basgad rock wall. Trek on this path till you reach the pass between Basgad and Utwad.

From this point onwards you  can trek towards Utwad peak. To head back to Take Harsh turn left and keeping to the wall on left descend to the tar road that goes to Khodala and then to Take Harsh.Return back to Trimbakeshwar.  Note : Keep ample source of water with you as there is no drinking water source on Basgad hill.

Day 6:  Harshwadi to Brahma Hill and Fani peak

• Height: Brahma Hill 1204 m(3950 feet), Fani Peak 992 m(3255 feet)

The base camp for this trek is Harshwadi. Fani peak can be reached either from Nirgudpada (Take Harsh) or from Harshwadi. Hire a vehicle from Trimbakeshwar to Harshwadi village. As Harshwadi is also a remote destination, the vehicle must be hired accordingly for to and fro journey from Trimbakeshwar. Once you reach Harshwadi Harshgad can be seen while  Fani peak is not visible from this place.

To start the trek start ascending from Harshwadi village towards Harshgad. After climbing for some time you will come across a Devi temple, Shiv temple and ‘Kund’ (Water tank). The route till this point is well trodden. There is also a Maruti temple nearby surrounded by thick tree cover. The Harshgad rock cut gallery can be seen from this place. Walking further you will come across dense forest.

Walk through this cover that takes you towards a big hill called the Brahma Hill. The path is well marked. Trek through the route until you come across a pass between Harshgad and Brahma Hill. Turn left here and go ahead until you come across a ‘Nali’ for climbing the Brahma Hill. Climb the Nali carefully and reach the top plateau. After climbing further a Devi temple on the edge can be seen. From here you can enjoy the beautiful view of Harshgad, the dense forest at its base, Basgad and Utwad range and Fani peak. Panchaling peak of Brahmagiri, Anjaneri range and Vaitarana back water are also visible. Descend back carefully and from the pass either take the same route till temple in the thick forest or descend to Harshwadi by the route going to the right side. To trek to Fani Peak you have to reach the plateau between Harshgad and Fani peak.

From here the peak looks very small and has a pyramid shape. The slopes are steep from all the sides. From the plateau start walking towards Fani peak. Observe the hill on the right. This is known as small Fani. The climb to the Peak starts from the west side edge of this Hill. The path is zigzag and narrow.

It is approximately 60-70 feet in height and space on the top is very small.

The peak can be climbed with the help of rope and safety equipment only. Once atop the view is very spectacular. To head back start descending from the other side of the peak.

➤ What to Pack for the Trek

No, stuffing it all in isn’t the right way to do it  Packing a backpack correctly saves precious time that you might waste trying to find your things later. It is wise to spend some time on learning what really goes into packing a backpack.

What should I pack?  On a trek, you only get what you take. Something as simple as a forgotten matchbox can cripple your cooking plans throughout the trek. So, it’s essential to prepare early and prepare well. To begin with, make a checklist. While shopping, remember this thumb rule – keep it light. “Every item needs to be light. This ensures that your backpack, on the whole, stays light,” says Sandhya UC, co-founder of Indiahikes. Balancing out heavy items with light ones isn’t going to have the same effect as having all light items. “Always opt for good quality, light items,” says Sandhya.

How much should my bag weigh?

“Your backpack for a weekend trek should weigh between 8 and 10 kg,” explains Arjun Majumdar, co-founder of Indiahikes, “To break it down, your tent should weigh around 2.5 kg, your sleeping bag, around 1.5 kg, and the ration, stove and clothes should constitute the other 5 kg.” The best way to plan is by concentrating on the basic necessities – food, shelter and clothes. Gather only those things that you’ll need to survive. Do not pack for ‘if’ situations. “That’s one of the common mistakes that people make – packing for ‘if situations’. It only adds to the baggage that you can do without on a trek,” says Sandhya.

Trekking hack

One good way to go about it is to prepare a list of absolute essentials. Start with the most essential and end with the least essential. That way, when you feel you are overshooting the limit, you can start eliminating from the bottom. Another tip is to be smart while packing clothes. Invest in light. wash and wear fabrics. “Replace a sweater with two t-shirts,” adds Sandhya. Layering is  the  mantra when it comes to trekking. Refer to Sandhya’s clothes list to pack smart.

How to pack  The thumb rule for this one is to eliminate air spaces. Make sure that everything is packed tightly, especially clothes and jackets, as they tend to take up maximum air space. Put in all the large items first. Then squeeze in the smaller ones in the gaps. This ensures minimum air space. A good way to pack clothes is by using the Ranger Roll method.

Where to pack  Bottom  Sleeping bag : Make this your base layer. Sleeping bags tend to be voluminous, but do not weigh much. They’re perfect for the bottom of the bag.  Tent : Just like the sleeping bag, even tents are voluminous and light. Keep the tent poles separately and place the fabric at the bottom of the backpack. Middle  Heavy jacket : Roll up the jacket in a tight ball and place it in the middle of the backpack, close to your back. The middle region of the backpack should always have the heaviest items. You can store other things like ration or mini stoves in the middle.  Other clothes : Roll other clothes and place them in the remaining space, to fill air gaps.

Backpack essentials

Top  Water : Water, although heavy, needs to be easily accessible. So put it in the top most region of your backpack.  Medicine box : This is another component that you wouldn’t want to be scavenging for when in need.  Poncho : It could rain at any time in the mountains. So, ponchos should be accessible easily. Also, having a waterproof poncho at the top of the backpack provides additional waterproofing to items in the bag.

➤ How to Get Fit for the Trek

Cardiovascular endurance

The secret to ascending any trail lies in building your cardiovascular endurance. You can begin by jogging everyday. Ideally, you should be able to jog 4 km in 20 minutes before the start of the trek. It takes time to be able to cover this distance in the given time. Start slow and increase your pace everyday. Swimming, cycling and stair climbing without too many breaks in between can help too. Strength This is another area you should work on. You will need to build strength in your muscles and in your core body. You can do some squats to strengthen your leg muscles. Do around 3 sets of squats, with 8 squats in each set. Apart from this, you can add planks and crunches to your work out.

Flexibility

Another aspect that will help you trek comfortably is flexibility. For this, you can do some stretching exercises – stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, hip flexors, lower back muscles and shoulders regularly. Carrying a backpack, however light, can become a strain after a while. These exercises will help you to be in good shape before the trek. Work out indoors.

Brahmagiri Peak Trek : A Testament To The Natural Splendor

The Brahmagiri Peak Trek stands as a testament to the natural splendor that defines the Western Ghats. Rising to an elevation of 1,608 meters, Brahmagiri offers a captivating trekking experience that blends challenging ascents with breathtaking landscapes.

The trek commences from the vibrant town of Thirunelli, where the ancient Thirunelli Temple sets the spiritual tone for the journey. As trekkers ascend through dense forests, the air becomes infused with the earthy scent of flora unique to the region. The trail unveils panoramic vistas of mist-covered mountains and rolling hills, creating a visual symphony for those willing to traverse the rugged path.

Reaching the summit of Brahmagiri is not just an achievement; it’s a rendezvous with the divine. The Brahmagiri Range extends to Karnataka, and from the peak, one can witness the convergence of the Western Ghats with the Nilgiri Hills.

The trek, while physically demanding, offers a meditative retreat into nature’s embrace. The cool breeze at the summit and the sense of accomplishment make Brahmagiri Peak Trek a soulful journey, leaving indelible imprints of the Western Ghats’ untouched beauty on the hearts of those who dare to tread its hallowed paths.

Upcoming Treks To Brahmagiri

The Tranquil Brahmagiri Trek

The Brahmagiri mountain range is situated in the western ghats of Maharashtra. Along with its divine importance, it is also a go-to trekking spot for the tourists. We highly recommend you trekking on Brahmagiri if you are a first-time trekker as you won't find many difficulties overcoming this trek, thanks to the firm steps built beneath the green vegetation until top of the mountain.

Located beside Nashik's iconic Trimbakeshwar temple, the Brahmagiri Trek has its own importance. Some people trek this scenic mountain for the sake of trekking. Whereas, devotees prefer trekking the Brahmagiri mountain range to seek the blessings of their beloved Gods at the temples built along the way. The Godavari Temple is one of the major attraction on the Brahmagiri mountain as it is the point from where the river Godavari originates.

Way to Brahmagiri

I was welcomed with a gigantic route map of the Brahmagiri mountain, right at the beginning of our trek. It did helped me a lot to plan our trek as it had a clear representation of the various routes leading to different temples and attractions on the way. As it was clearly visible that the route is sealed by the forest reserve, trekking from 4 PM to 6 AM is strictly prohibited here, considering the existence of wild animals here.

I was in awe of the mother nature throughout our way, the path built with strong rock formation beneath the moderately dense forest with birds chirping all over made me forget my disappointment of waking on an early morning alarm call. As I started my trek early in the morning, there wasn't much noise and I could sense even the smallest of moment happening in jungle quite clearly.

Panoramic views is something which keeps your body going while trekking and the visual treat which Brahmagiri mountain range was providing to my eyes can't be describe in words. The clouds were covering the mountain tops while the greenery was topped with the patch of colourful flowers - it is definitely a heaven for shutterbugs!

If you aren't familiar with trekking then here's something you should remember - Every trek is bound to give you an unforgettable experience (Mark our words!). Everything was going buttery smooth until we saw a bunch of locales and tourist suddenly paused at a spot and when inquired, I got to know that a Leopard was seen crossing the route just about 5-10 minutes I reached there. But being the experienced campaigners, I decided to continue our journey to the top without freaking out because there's nothing much you can do when you are in the wild territory! Isn't it?

After 2 hours of relentless trek, surpassing through the group of notorious monkeys - who were all over me, I finally reached the peak of the mountain and must say, the view from the top gave me a pleasant feeling which was enough to forget all the pain of trekking. The nature was seemed to be still asleep under the foggy blanket while the initial rays of sun passing through the clouds was signaling the start of yet another day in the wild as the locales were busy setting up the shops around the temples on top of Brahmagiri.

It was indeed an awe-inspiring experience which I would treasure for life in my travel diaries and the best thing about this trek was the well-furnished route which made sure that this trek doesn't turn into a painful one!

Every time you get tired, you only have to crane your head up to see the majestic Brahmagiri hills, beckoning you from a distance, to pep you up. If you’re lucky and carry a binocular, climb the watchtower and you’d spot a herd of gaurs or elephants grazing on the valleys. Available slots: 07.30 am, 08.00 am, 8.30 am, 09.00 am. Entry will be allowed till 10.00 am  Holidays: Monday and Friday

History of Moscow Oblast

The territory of the Moscow region was inhabited more than 20 thousand years ago. In the first millennium AD, this land was inhabited mostly by the Finno-Ugric peoples (Meryane and Meshchera). In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began active development of the region. The population was engaged in hunting, fisheries, agriculture, and cattle breeding.

In the middle of the 12th century, the territory of the present Moscow region became part of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality, the first towns were founded (Volokolamsk in 1135, Moscow in 1147, Zvenigorod in 1152, Dmitrov in 1154). In the first half of the 13th century, the Vladimir-Suzdal principality was conquered by the Mongols.

In the 14th-16th centuries, Moscow principality became the center of unification of Russian lands. The history of the Moscow region is inextricably linked to military events of the Time of Troubles - the siege of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by the troops of False Dmitry II, the first and second militias.

More historical facts…

In 1708, by decree of Peter the Great, Moskovskaya gubernia (province) was established. It included most of the territory of present Moscow oblast. In 1712, St. Petersburg became the capital of the Russian Empire and the significance of the Moscow region as the country’s economic center began to decrease.

In 1812, the Battle of Borodino took place near Moscow. It was the biggest battle of the Russian-French War of 1812. In the second half of the 19th century, especially after the peasant reform of 1861, the Moscow province experienced economic growth. In 1851, the first railway connected Moscow and St. Petersburg; in 1862 - Nizhny Novgorod.

The population of the Moscow region increased significantly (in 1847 - 1.13 million people, in 1905 - 2.65 million). On the eve of the First World War, Moscow was a city with a population of more than one million people.

In November, 1917, the Soviet power was established in the region. In 1918, the country’s capital was moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow that contributed to economic recovery of the province. In the 1920s-1930s, a lot of churches located near Moscow were closed, a large number of cultural monuments were destroyed. On January 14, 1929, Moscow Oblast was formed.

In 1941-1942, one of the most important battles of the Second World War took place on the territory of the region - the Battle for Moscow. In the postwar years, the growth of economic potential of the region continued; several science cities were founded (Dubna, Troitsk, Pushchino, Chernogolovka).

In the 1990s, the economy of Moscow Oblast experienced a deep crisis. Since the 1990s, due to the motorization of the population and commuting, road traffic situation in the Moscow region significantly deteriorated. Traffic jams have become commonplace.
