I visited Bhimashankar Temple yesterday. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga in India.
Timings and route: I left my home in my car at 8:30 AM and took the route shown here. Earlier I had thought of taking a left turn at Rajguru Nagar but the people guided me to take a longer route from Manchar. We reached the place at around 11:30 AM. There was one Dimbhe Dam along the way. The mountains were not lush green otherwise the view would have been mesmerizing.
Fees: There are two tolls along the way that charged INR 38 each. The entry to Bhimashankar requires you to shell out INR 20.

Food: There were a lot of eateries along the way but we first had a dose of 'chikoos' and 'roasted corns' near the temple. While coming back, we took our lunch at 'Atithi' family garden restaurant which is around 15-20 KMs from Manchar towards Bhimashankar. They didn't have chinese and south indian but they had very delicious punjabi dishes which were served hot and we all were pretty hungry so we enjoyed the food very well. The total bill for four adults came to around INR 450 only which was a bargain compared to the place we were at.
Activities: Except for the temple, there isn't anything else to visit. During monsoon, you may enjoy the lush green mountains along the way.
All in all, it was worth one day visit.

Lovely pictures. Keep sharing post like this. Bustling and commercial, leafy and slow, cosmopolitan and vintage, Pune effortlessly adds up to more than the sum of its parts. It is a city where history often asserts itself, but with a careless lightness. Explore all about Bhimashankar temple.
