Nashik to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga Distance
Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga, located near Ellora Caves in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) district, is roughly 170–180 km from Nashik, taking about 3.5 to 4 hours by road depending on traffic near Sinnar and the Aurangabad bypass. Most pilgrims travel via NH60, and the route is well-connected for a comfortable cab journey. Many travelers combine this with Ellora and Daulatabad Fort since they're a few minutes apart.
By train: The nearest railway station to Grishneshwar is Aurangabad, about 30 km away, from where you'll still need a cab.
Nashik to Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga Distance
Bhimashankar, tucked into the Sahyadri hills in Pune district, is about 215–220 km from Nashik and takes 4.5 to 5.5 hours by road, since the final stretch involves winding ghat roads through forest terrain. This is a longer, more scenic drive, so an early morning start is recommended — most people prefer a private cab here since public transport connections to the temple itself are limited.
By train: There's no direct railhead at Bhimashankar; Pune or Karjat are the nearest major stations, still 100+ km away.
Nashik to Trimbakeshwar Distance
Trimbakeshwar, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas and just outside Nashik city, is barely 35 - 40 km away — under an hour by cab. This is usually the first stop for anyone doing a Jyotirlinga circuit from Nashik, since it's the closest and can even be done as a half-day trip.
Can You Cover All Three in One Trip?
Yes — and this is exactly why most pilgrims don't book these as separate one-off cab rides. Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, and Bhimashankar together form the classic 3 Jyotirlinga circuit accessible from Nashik, and doing it as a planned multi-day tour (rather than three separate bookings) saves both time and travel cost, since the cab covers the loop in one continuous itinerary instead of three round trips back to Nashik.
If that's what you're planning, our 3 Jyotirlinga Tour Package from Nashik is built around this exact route — Trimbakeshwar, Grishneshwar, and Bhimashankar in 3 days, with the cab, driver, and darshan timings already worked out so you're not calculating distances and travel time yourself.
For those who only want Trimbakeshwar as a standalone day trip, you can also book directly via our Nashik to Trimbakeshwar cab service.
