Name

The name of the Nashik has been changing since long time as per different rulers. It

is believed the name "Nashik" was derived after the incident in Ramayana when

Lakshman (Sri Ram's brother) chopped off the nose of Surpanakha (Ravan's sister).

One school of thoughts states that Nashik is combination of nava shikha - nine

summits. It was also named as Gulshnabad by Muslim rulers which is immediately

revolted by the residents. It was spelled incorrectly by British administration, as

Nasik but eventually changed to Nashik as present.

Cultural and Social

Nashik is also known in India as a landing city for travelling to Shirdi and

Trambakeshwar which hosts one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. It is

believed that during ancient times, during transportation, the drops of Amrit fell into

the Brahma-Kund at Trambakeshwar. This makes it one of the most popular

religious travel destinations of India. Nashik is also known as a transit station for

devotees going to Shirdi, residence of Sai Baba (90 Kilometres from Nashik).

The climate of Nashik is very pleasant. Nashik has three distinct seasons: summer,

monsoon and winter. Summers are typically hot with maximum temperatures ranging

from 35 to 42°C. The warmest month in Nashik is generally April as compared to

the rest of the Deccan Plateau where it is May. November is normally a very

pleasant month.

Nashik does not get very hot. Even during the peak of summer, the air is cool and

standing under a tree can give respite form the heat. However, as sunlight can be

intense leading to skin tan and sun-burn, be sure to carry and use sunscreens (above

SPF-30).

The nights in Nashik are significantly cooler than most other parts in this region

owing to its high altitude.

The average rainfall is approx 550 mm. The city often receives local and heavy

thundershowers with heavy downpours in June, which brings down the temperature.

The rainy season can sometimes be gloomy, with cloud cover for days together.

Winters are generally dry and day temperatures can be as low as 24 - 28°C and

temperatures at night as low as 5 - 8°C.

Get in

By bus

Nashik is 180 Kilometres from Mumbai (Bombay). There are frequent buses to

Nashik from Dadar in Mumbai. It takes 4 to 5 hours by road. If you are not around

Dadar, you can still take buses from Borivali (a key place on Western Railway Line)

OR Thane (a key place on Central Railway Line). Also, a suburban railway (CR) to

Kasara can be taken from few suburban railway stations beyond Dadar (like Kurla,

Thane or even beyond). Once at Kasara, there are loads of connecting buses to

Nashik and many other places, along with ample number of share-taxis (INR 50-60

per adult passenger, but with cramped sitting). (Kindly note there is no taxi service

available in the late night. You can get held up after reaching Kasara Railway

Station till the next morning)

By train

Trains called 'Panchavati Express' and 'Godavari Express' also ply daily between

Mumbai and Nashik. Word of caution, Nashik is on Central Railway line and Dadar

Station is a sort of junction place for Central Railway and Western Railway, so make

sure that you are at right side of the station (that is, East-side for Central Railway).

There is also a daily train service between Pune and Nashik. It may be noted that the

Railway Station (called "Nasik Road") is about 10 Kilometres away from the main

city. However, there are sufficiently frequent services of buses, auto-rickshaws,

shared-taxis etc are available at fairly low fares.

You can also go by local from kasara.

By plane

This service may not be operating.

Kingfisher Red, the country's low-cost airline, started daily flights between Mumbai

and Nashik (2 at present- April 2009). These fly from the Chhatrapati Shivaji

Domestic Airport (Mumbai) to Nashik Ozar airport (which is about 25 km from

Nashik city).

Get around

A rented car is the best option to move around the city. There is also a Nashik

Darshan bus every day which shows you around the important tourist attractions in

Nashik otherwise regional public transport service is also quite nice. Get the ticket

for Nashik Darshan bus a day in advance to avoid inconvenience. Alternately you

can take cheap and good auto rikshaws.
