Trimbakeshwar
Another Maharashtra Jyotirlinga, near Nashik, source of the Godavari.
Bhimashankar
Sahyadri-forest Jyotirlinga, a natural pairing on a Maharashtra Shiva circuit.
Shirdi Sai Baba
The famous Sai Baba shrine, an easy add-on between Ellora and Nashik.
Grishneshwar is the natural anchor of a Maharashtra Shiva circuit, because two of the state's other Jyotirlingas sit within a day or two's drive. Trimbakeshwar, near Nashik and about 210 km away, is the source-of-the-Godavari Jyotirlinga and pairs well on the same trip. Bhimashankar, roughly 300 km off in the Sahyadri forests, completes a three-Jyotirlinga run for those with more time.
The most popular add-on, though, is not a Shiva shrine at all. Shirdi, home of the Sai Baba temple, lies about 130 km away, roughly midway toward Nashik, and huge numbers of pilgrims stitch Ellora-Grishneshwar and Shirdi into one itinerary. Between the caves, the Jyotirlinga, and Shirdi, the region rewards a three or four day plan rather than a rushed single day.
