Trek distance:  1.2 km Trek duration:  40 minutes GPS coordinates of Forest department:  19°56’15.0″N, 73°34’54.7″E GPS coordinates of Anjani Maata temple:   19°55’46.94″N, 73°34’39.07″E

The Anjaneri Fort trek starts from the forest department of Anjaneri Village. Take permission before starting the trek.  

The trail from the parking area is a long rock step walk followed by a huge boulder section. There is a single route and a lot of signboards, which reduces the chance of getting lost.

After 15 minutes of a gradual climb, you reach a boulder section. You need to cross this section very carefully. Make sure you wear proper trekking shoes if you are trekking in the monsoon. 

Note: You see a lot of Monkeys on the trail. Make sure you cover the food items if you have any.

There is a Jain cave on your left side. Explore the cave for 10 minutes and proceed. From there another 15 minutes ascend would lead us to the meadow section. 

The meadow in front of you is vast. After 10 minutes of a trek on the meadow, the trail next leads you to the Anjani Maata Temple. Visit the temple and click some pictures. This is the only temple built for Anjani Maata.

Once you start the trek from the temple, there is a huge lake. It is believed that this lake is formed due to Lord Hanuman’s left footprint. Locals use it as a water resource. 

Save the curiosity to see the shape till you reach a certain height.

You now enter the forest section which is quite a challenging section. You see a lot of monkeys here which makes it slightly more difficult. 

The trail starts with rock-cut steps. The entire forest section is filled with dark tall trees and lush green shrubs. You can hear the rustling sound of leaves in the bushes. 

The trail starts from steps and goes into the forest section. Picture by Yugant Gurav

This section becomes very slippery during the monsoon season because of the moss covering on the rocks.

After 20 minutes of steep ascend in the forest, you come across a boulder. Take a small sip of water and hydrate yourself. 

It will take another 10 minutes to cross and reach the highest point. It is a plateau region.

Watch out for the trail you have climbed up from an aerial view. Observe the foot-shaped lake. Spot another lake behind the foot-shaped lake, that is the Anjaneri Lake.

There is a temple built by locals a few minutes away from here. It is worth your visit. 

The Lord Hanuman you see inside the temple is different from others as it represents the Hanuman as a child.

Enjoy the view of the Nashik Triambak region. You can spot the Brahmagiri mountain and Godavari dam behind the temple. 

Spend half an hour exploring the other mountains and lakes. This is a perfect place to relax amidst the busy life in the city. 

The descent is the same route as you came up. Since the return trail becomes steep and slippery, you need to be very careful while descending. This is where trekking poles can be used. 

➤ Best Season to do the Anjaneri Fort Trek

Anjaneri fort trek can be done throughout the year. Each season you get to see the western ghat mountains in different shades.

The Sacred Trek to Anjaneri Fort: Birthplace of Lord Hanuman

Nestled in the mountainous terrain of the Western Ghats near Nashik lies the historic Anjaneri Fort, an ancient citadel steeped in Hindu mythology and trekking lore. Anjaneri is believed to be the birthplace of Lord Hanuman, the mighty monkey god and devotee of Lord Rama in the Hindu epic Ramayana.

The fort sits atop a 4,200 feet tall hill by the same name, surrounded by verdant forests and overlooking the Godavari basin. Along with its religious significance, Anjaneri Fort is also a popular trekking destination near Nashik and Trimbakeshwar that offers stunning views and a moderately challenging climb.

The Legend of Anjaneri Hill

According to Hindu legends, Anjaneri Hill is where Anjana, the mother of Hanuman, performed intense austerities for over 7,000 years to beget an illustrious son. Pleased by her unwavering devotion, Lord Shiva appeared before her and granted her wish for a son with divinely endowed skills and strength. This fulfills Anjana's boon that Hanuman would assist Lord Rama in his quest to defeat the demon King Ravana, as told in the Ramayana epic.

The hill came to be known as Anjaneri after Anjana, and a temple dedicated to Anjani Mata (Mother Anjana) stands at the summit today. There is also a shrine with idols of infant Hanuman and his mother. Several caves existed where sages of yore performed intense meditation.

Reaching Anjaneri Base Village

Anjaneri hill lies 20 km from Nashik enroute to Trimbakeshwar. One can hire a private taxi or take a state transport bus from Nashik to reach Trimbak village, followed by a 10 km uphill trek to reach Anjaneri base village nestled amidst lush forests.

Prior permission needs to be obtained from the Forest Department at Anjaneri to attempt the trek. Guides may be arranged if needed. The base village has basic lodging options for those arriving the previous evening. Limited snacks and beverages are also available here.

The Mesmerizing Anjaneri Fort Trek

The 4 km long trek to Anjaneri Fort is of easy to moderate difficulty, dotted by rocky patches, boulders and forested sections. It takes around 3-4 hours to complete at a comfortable pace. One needs to be sure-footed and having a hiking pole comes in handy while navigating tricky sections.

The trail starts with a stone-paved path followed by boulder hopping across a dried stream. In 15 minutes, you arrive at an ancient Jain cave dating back to the 11th-12th century. Spend some time exploring this offbeat site before continuing further.

The path then winds through thick forests with tall trees and green shrubs. Tiny rivulets crisscross the trail which can get slippery during monsoons due to moss on rocks. After climbing steadily for 30 minutes, you arrive at a sunny meadow blooming with wildflowers.

Lord Hanuman Footprint Lake

The next stretch passes through the sprawling meadow dotted by lush grasslands. You come across a footprint-shaped lake located to the left. Locals believe this natural formation echoes the footprint of Lord Hanuman.

10 minutes later, you arrive at the sacred Anjani Mata temple located amidst the meadows. Soak in the spiritual ambiance and admire the architecture of this shrine. After paying obeisance, continue further through the long meadows to admire the landscape from various vantage points.

The dense tree cover starts again, and you need to traverse a slippery section aided by ropes strung across trees. Numerous langur monkeys dwell in this part of the forest. After 20 minutes of steady climb, you emerge atop a rocky perch. Replenish yourself with snacks and fluids here before starting the final lap.

Marveling at the Summit

A 10-minute balanced walk across boulders brings you to the Anjaneri Fort summit. Also located here is a shrine dedicated to infant Hanuman. Marvel at the breathtaking 360-degree views of surrounding lush valleys, hills, and Godavari basin from this vantage point.

You can also spot another footprint-shaped lake right below that disappears into the thick forests. On clear days, sights like Brahmagiri hill and peaks near Trimbakeshwar are visible along with Nasik city in the distance.

After spending ample time soaking in the panoramas and exploring the various attractions at the hilltop, retrace your steps back to the base village. Stop for lunch at local eateries before heading back.

Anjaneri Trek – Maharashtra

Trekkers and nature lovers just can’t miss visiting one of the most renowned treks in the Sahyadri mountain range of Nasik-Triambakeshwar in Maharashtra. The spot lies 6 km from Triambakeshwar and 20 km from Nasik, at a height of 4263 feet from sea level.

This is Anjaneri Fort trek. For the worshippers of Lord Hanuman, this is a must-see place.

Anjaneri Fort holds a special place for worshippers of Lord Hanuman because it is believed that the mountain is the birthplace of Lord Hanuman. It is here that he spent his childhood. Lord Hanuman, as per mythology, is the son of Anjani Mata and Vanara Prince – Kesari Maharaj. He is also known as the son of God of Wind (Pavan Dev). This is because the God of Wind gave the prasad of Lord Shiva to Anjani Devi and after taking the prasad, Lord Hanuman was born. That’s why Lord Hanuman is popularly referred to by the following names: “Pavan Putra” (Son of God of Wind), “Kesari Nandan” (Son of Kesari), and “Anjani Nandan” (Son of Anjani).

The mountain is named after Anjani Mata.

As per historians, one Veersen Ahir (sometimes spelled Abhir) ruled this area briefly and had made it his capital.

What’s Special

Anjaneri mountain is abundant in natural beauty. The trek route here is filled with thick bushes, lush greenery (especially after monsoon), lakes, caves, and waterfalls. This trek is regarded as one of the most spectacular ones in the state of Maharashtra.

The following are the extra ordinary things you will find at this place:

• The mountain has total 108 caves, believed to be built in the ancient times by Jain monks. These caves feature ancient art and exquisite designs and architecture. The caves are said to date back to 11-12 th
• You will find Anjani Mata temple here. This is the only temple in the world dedicated to the Mother of Lord Hanuman – Anjani Mata.

• One of the rarest flowers in the world is found here – Cape York Lily. It belongs to the species Curcuma, which means “turmeric” in Sanskrit. The flower harbors food and medicinal properties and is abundant on Anjaneri mountain.

Things To Do

Lush greenery, cool climes and spiritual energy abound at Anjaneri, named after Anjana Devi, said to be the mother of Pavanputra Hanuman. Locals believe that the cave on top of the main hill is where Anjana Devi gave birth to Lord Hanuman. A temple, known as Anjana Mata, is where she prayed for a child, before Lord Shiva appeared to bless her with the gift of life, as legend has it.

The best way to discover Anjaneri is to trek up the hill. The tiring but rewarding trek will take you past the cave to which Lord Pawan Dev brought Lord Hanuman as a child when he was hit by the 'vajra' of Lord Indra. Another cave on the route will show you inscriptions that can be dated back to almost 1,000 years.

This place is famous for the well-renowned Indian Institute of Research in Numismatic Studies. It also boasts a number of Jain and Hindu temples. Apart from all this, it offers a splendid view of the rustic charm of the village to its visitors.
