| Bhimashankar Jyothirling. |
As we planned to visit Bhimashankar jyothirling, our first concern was the route/road & about the drive off to the region. This Jyothirling is situated in Maharashtra but the route is offbeat( better to avoid during heavy rains)....

| The drive across the Khed ghats. |
 |
| Narayangoan. |
 |
| Mancher |
 |
| Salgaon-the last village after which the Bhimashankar ghats begins. |
We started off for the place quick early in the morning from our home in Navi-mumbai,because we wanted to avoid the truck jam atChakan phata...It took us almost 6 hrs drive to the place...On the way there 3 imp. temples (Ashtavinayak),which we didn't include in our Itenary....But one mistake we made was we didn't take along sufficient food items for the journey ... There's hardly any good eatteries on the way ; So, need to be prepared before visiting the place orelse ,will have to continue hungry....The drive is just awesomethru' the Shadydri range ....but road conditions are not that good; & onces ontop of the range ,its better to drive safely as we came across lot many accidents on the range(just smashed vehicles)..There's 2 jungle resorts ontop of the range( but requires prior booking).....After reaching the temple site ,its 300 steps downhill to the shrine & quite slippery...But the surrounding is too good to enjoy,before standing on the line for the Darshan. Now a days Pujas are restricted except darshan only. On the way, Bhimashankar Dam is also a beautiful site to enjoy.
