Perched amidst the dense, verdant folds of the Western Ghats about 20 kilometres from Nashik and 6 from Trimbakeshwar stands the decrepit Anjaneri Fort. It is an emblematic confluence of mythology, history and natural splendour. The site is revered as the birthplace of Lord Hanuman and thus fends off the limitation of being just as a trekking destination, attracting pilgrims seeking spiritual solace and serving as a testament to Maharashtra's rich heritage. Furthermore, the fort's strategic location in the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar mountain range also offers a certain panoramic views that one fails to witness otherwise, turning the place into a magnet for trekkers, historians and devotees alike.
