    About Nashik

    Mythology and Folk Tales

    Nashik offers a perfect mix of mythological, historical, social and cultural significance. In different periods, Nashik was called Padmanagar, Trikantak, and Janasthana during the Satya, Treta, and Dvapara Yuga, respectively. The mythology of Nashik is related to Lord Rama, the King of Ayodhya and the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. During his 14 years in exile, Lord Rama stayed in Nashik with his wife Sita and brother Laxman. At the same place, by the wish of Lord Rama, Laxman cut off the nose of Ravan’s sister, Shurpanakha; thus, this city was named Nashik.

    Dhruvsolanki's 4 days trip to Nashik

    The trip was amazing. The prices were reasonable too with a good choice of accommodation. The only concern I faced was that the driver was advised to take a shortcut which was not that smooth but saved some kms and some tolls. This would have been fair provided I would have been informed of the same in the first hand. Other than that everything was excellent.
