Shirdi Sai Baba Temple
Samadhi shrine of Sai Baba, one of Maharashtra's most visited pilgrimages, easily paired with a Nashik trip.
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga
The twelfth Jyotirlinga beside the Ellora caves; devotees often chain the two Maharashtra Jyotirlingas.
Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga
Another of the twelve Jyotirlingas, set in a Sahyadri wildlife sanctuary south of Nashik.
Trimbakeshwar sits inside one of Maharashtra's richest pilgrimage clusters, which is why most people build a multi-temple route around it. The most common pairing is with Shirdi, about 90 km away, where the samadhi shrine of Sai Baba draws some of the largest crowds in the state; a Nashik-Trimbak-Shirdi triangle is a classic two or three day circuit.
For those collecting Jyotirlingas, two more of the twelve lie within a day's drive. Grishneshwar, beside the Ellora caves near Aurangabad, is roughly 180 km east and is often clubbed with the caves themselves. Bhimashankar, tucked into a Sahyadri wildlife sanctuary about 210 km south, is the third Maharashtra Jyotirlinga and a greener, hillier contrast. Closer to home, the Nashik-Panchavati ghats, Kalaram temple and the Anjaneri hill (said to be Hanuman's birthplace) fill out a Nashik base nicely.
