Brief Introduction about Bhimashankar:
Type: Hill
Height: 3500 Feet above MSL (Approx)
Grade: Medium
Region: Pune
Village: Khandas
BHIMASHANKAR
Bhimashankar is one of the twelve jyotirlingas in India.. So the place has got a lot of religious importance attached to it.Apart from the religious importance however the place is like heaven during monsoons. The shrine falls under the Bhimashankar wild sanctuary or to be right the forest derives its name because of the Bhimashankar shrine. The shrine is under the limits of Junnar,Ambegaon and Khed district thus there is a crossover of districts at this place.
Bhimashankar trek is one of the most famous treks in and around Mumbai.
Places to visit:
There are quite a lot of places to see there. We will however be covering the following spots:
1) The shrine:
It’s a very old temple and is quite religiously governed. I have seen very few Shiva temples where devotees are prohibited from entering if they have any leather stuff on their body.
2) Nagphani point:
There is a good waterfall here and the place is beautiful. We will visit nagaphani only if rain permits.
3) Gupt Bhimashankar:
This is further 2-3 kms into the woods. The place is very sacred and is the actual place where the shiv lingas were originally discovered. The place also marks the origin of Bhima river.
