If you love spending time in the lap of nature with greenery and hills all around you, the Bhimashankar trek is designed just for you! The trek makes you reach highly picturesque Bhimashankar through the beautiful Shidi and Ganesh Ghats.
Bhimashankar holds a religious significance for the devotees of Lord Shiva. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlings, built with the Nagara style of architecture. Being one of the five Jyotirlings in the state of Maharashtra, Bhimashankar has a beautiful Shiva temple.
Apart from being a beloved destination for the devotees, Bhimashankar attracts nature lovers from across the country to witness its serenity and aesthetic appeal. The trek is a must-have experience for all nature lovers, especially in the monsoon season. Once it starts raining, the beauty of Bhimashankar only gets better.
The Bhimashankar trek is one of the most popular and beautiful destinations to visit via trekking. There are two major routes one can take to climb to the base destination from Karjat – via Shidi Ghat and via Ganesh Ghat.
If you are interested more in enjoying the nature around you and not looking for an adrenaline rush, you can go for the Bhimashankar trek via Ganesh Ghat. This route is relatively simpler and suitable for beginners.
However, if you are looking for some thrill and want to challenge yourself, you should definitely go for the Bhimashankar trek via Shidi Ghat. This is a more difficult route to take and involves an adventurous and steep walk, suitable for experienced trekkers. This route will involve a number of climbs up and down the hills.
Also, the riskier route will make you encounter some of the most beautiful elements of nature. As you climb up to Bhimashakar via Shidi Ghat, you pass through beautiful streams, waterfalls, and deep forests. If you are willing to take a little risk and are ready to be careful throughout your journey, it is advisable to take the route via Shidi Ghat.
No matter which route you take, you are bound to experience nature at its finest. Most visitors prefer taking this trip during the monsoons. However, if you are taking the route via Shidi Ghat, it is advisable to avoid the monsoon season as the stairs get slippery. You can always enjoy the trip by reaching Bhimashankar via Ganesh Ghat.
Another aesthetic highlight of your trip would be the beautiful green forest of Bhimashankar. With its innumerable species of flora and fauna, the forest is no less than a paradise for nature lovers. If you are looking for a perfect weekend getaway to replenish your energy for the week ahead, you can definitely take this trip from Karjat.
