Anjaneri fort trek is one of the famous treks in Nasik-Triambakeshwar mountain range of Maharashtra. It is an attraction of Nashik city and Triambakeshwar region. Located 20 km away from Nasik and 6 km from Triambakeshwar. It is situated at an altitude of 4263 feet from the sea level. The locals believe that the fort is the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. Therefore, it is considered as one of the religious places among Hindu devotees. There are many small Jain temples, caves and a foot-shaped lake on the way to the main Hanuman temple. There is also a temple built for Anjani Maata who gave birth to Hanuman. It is unique as there is no other temple built for Anjani Maata. The Anjaneri Fort trek starts from the forest department of Anjaneri Village. Take permission before starting the trek. The trail from the parking area is a long rock step walk followed by a huge boulder section. There is a single route and a lot of signboards, which reduces the chance of getting lost. After 15 minutes of a gradual climb, you reach a boulder section. You need to cross this section very carefully. Make sure you wear proper trekking shoes if you are trekking in the monsoon. Note: You see a lot of Monkeys on the trail. Make sure you cover the food items if you have any. There is a Jain cave on your left side. Explore the cave for 10 minutes and proceed. From there another 15 minutes ascend would lead us to the meadow section. The meadow in front of you is vast. After 10 minutes of a trek on the meadow, the trail next leads you to the Anjani Maata Temple. Visit the temple and click some pictures. This is the only temple built for Anjani Maata. Once you start the trek from the temple, there is a huge lake. It is believed that this lake is formed due to Lord Hanuman’s left footprint. Locals use it as a water resource. The entire forest section is filled with dark tall trees and lush green shrubs. You can hear the rustling sound of leaves in the bushes. This section becomes very slippery during the monsoon season because of the moss covering on the rocks. After 20 minutes of steep ascend in the forest, you come across a boulder. Take a small sip of water and hydrate yourself. It will take another 10 minutes to cross and reach the highest point. It is a plateau region. Watch out for the trail you have climbed up from an aerial view. Observe the foot-shaped lake. Spot another lake behind the foot-shaped lake, that is the Anjaneri Lake. There is a temple built by locals a few minutes away from here. It is worth your visit. The Lord Hanuman you see inside the temple is different from others as it represents the Hanuman as a child. Anjaneri fort trek can be done throughout the year. Each season you get to see the western ghat mountains in different shades. 108 Jain caves are found here belonging to the 11th-12th century. This place was used by Raghunathrao Peshwa as summer retreat when he as in exile. During British Raj, the Christian missionaries of Saharanpur and Malegaon regularly visited Anjaneri during summer and held the service of the Church of England. Anjaneri is declared as Conservation Reserve in 2017 under the section 36A of WildLife protection Act, 1972, The area of conservation reserve is 5.69Sq.km.

If you're a fan of trekking and looking for a new adventure, Anjaneri is definitely a place you'll want to add to your list. Located in the beautiful mountain ranges of Maharashtra, this trekking destination is not far from Nashik City. You can commute to this place in city bus. This place offers stunning views, a serene lake on top of the mountain, and plenty of small shops to grab a quick bite and drink before continuing your journey. One of the highlights of Anjaneri is the lake that sits atop the mountain, offering a peaceful respite from the sometimes-challenging trek. The views from the lake are breath-taking, and the tranquil surroundings make it a great spot to stop and catch your breath before continuing on. Speaking of views, the hilltop vistas throughout the trek are equally stunning. From rocky outcroppings to sweeping valleys, there is no shortage of beautiful scenery to take in along the way. The small shops that dot the trekking trail offer a welcome break from the sometimes-rigorous trek. Whether you are in the mood for some hot noodles or a refreshing glass of lemon water, you can find what you need to fuel up for the next leg of your journey. It's worth noting that Anjaneri can get quite windy, so be sure to come prepared with appropriate clothing and gear. And while the trek is certainly doable solo, we recommend going in a group for safety reasons. Overall, Anjaneri is a trekking destination that is not to be missed. Be sure to come prepared, and consider visiting during the monsoon or winter season for the best experience.

Great place for nature lovers friends....its a good place if u love adventures ....here u can do trekking.... Actually this place is meant for the birthplace of God Hanuman..... This is located between the Nasik City and Trimbakeshwar..... You can visit this place in the winter season....that would be the best....because in rainy season its quiet risky because the surrounding area is not well developed.... In summer season ....you will keep fighting with the harsh sunrays.... So its better u visit in winter season ...... Probably the best trek I have had in sahyadri range. It's a relatively simple (mainly due to pilgrimage site) but at the same time really scenic trek (esp in monsoon time when I had been there). There are steps carved in some parts to make the path easier to travel. At times there is a stream along the stairs making it a very nice experience. Near the mountain top there is a plateau with a nice lake. Atop the fort, there is a Hanuman Temple , with excellent view. If you are lucky enough you can witness the "Reverse Waterfall" (due to the high winds the water from the fall is splashed upwards). A place worth visit!!

My heart beat was on the apex, my body was almost shaking, my leg were giving up, I felt like, I can't do it but when I turn back and the thing which my eyes catch was the spectacular view of the mountains. It was like that I didn't flick my eyes even once. I stood up there nearly 40 mins and I barely closed my eyelids. It was like that I just want to keep seeing it. I was just questioning myself that how can be it so so beautiful. It was amazing to watch when clear, shiny water of lake touching the feet of the mountain. That view was the only thing which giving my body the strength, the cold winds up there was pushing me to go to the top of the hill. I was unable to control myself. I felt like sitting there and just watch and watch and do not close your eyes. It was that beautiful. When I reached at the top I sat and watch the beauty. Where ever I looked it become more and more interesting. That's the beauty of the nature. You can't ignore it. Anjaneri Hill is the place where the beauty of nature and religion meet. The way to get there is risky but believe me that's worth it.

Anjaneri Hill is a profound place that lies amongst Nasik and Trimbakeshwar. Anjaneri is one of the renowned posts in the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar mountain extend and furthermore one of the well known trekking places in Nashik. The principle fascination of Anjaneri Hill is the Anjaneri Fort which can be come to by means of Anjaneri town. One ought to get down at Anjaneri Phata, which is 20 km far from Nasik on the Nasik-Tryambakeshwar Street. Anjaneri town is at a mobile separation of 10 to 15 minutes from Anjaneri Phata. There are a few stages by the town entrance, through which one can achieve the level of Anjaneri. From Anjaneri town, it takes around one and half hour to achieve the level of Anjaneri. This way prompts a great trekking enterprise through ious landscapes of Anjaneri Lake, hollows, waterfalls and so on. It takes just 10 minutes to achieve the sanctuary of Anjani Mata from the level.

It's the birth place of lord Hanuman ji. Best time to visit this place is between June to February in the morning. Trekking is of easy level. In fact there are stairs to go to the top. There are some ponds on the way. In rainy season this place becomes mich more beautiful than usual. One must visit this place in rainy season once and also in winters once. View from the place are extremely amazing. This is best place to bring kids. But beware of monkeys. Yes, there are so many monkeys in the middle portion of the trek and to avoid them just pass through that portion calmly and as quickly as possible.. This portion is of climbing stright up stairs. So take a bit rest before that portion and then calmly pass that portion. Also don't keep anything in hands.. not even mobile.. sometime monkeys tends to think that it is for them and that can be harmful.
