Where to stay in Nashik: the short guide
Nashik wears two hats: an ancient pilgrimage city on the Godavari and the wine capital of India. For the spiritual side, stay near Panchavati and Ramkund, close to the ghats, temples and the old city, which is also the focus during the Kumbh Mela. The city centre and College Road have hotels, cafes and restaurants handy for sightseeing and dining.
For the wine country, vineyard resorts and boutique stays spread around Gangapur Road and towards Sula and the other wineries, many with vineyard views and tastings. Budget and business hotels cluster near Nashik Road railway station, about 8 km from the centre, handy for arrivals. Nashik is also the base for Trimbakeshwar, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, a short drive away.
