What to See at Bhimashankar
Bhimashankar Temple
One of India's 12 Jyotirlingas. The 18th-century Nagara-style temple sits at the source of the sacred Bhima River — a major pilgrimage destination year-round.
Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary
Protected habitat of the Indian Giant Squirrel, Maharashtra's state animal. Dense Sahyadri forest with rich biodiversity — best explored on the forest trail.
Shidi Ghat Trek
Steep 3 km trail named for the iron ladder (shidi) section. Requires a local guide — arrives at the temple from Khandas village with dramatic valley views throughout.
Ganesh Ghat
An easier forest trail alternative to Shidi Ghat. Well-shaded, moderate difficulty, accessible for first-time trekkers visiting the temple via the forest route.
Nagphani / Duke's Nose Viewpoint
Accessible from Khandas village, 15 km away. The cobra-hood shaped peak offers sweeping views of the Sahyadri and is a popular photography spot.
Nearby Forest Temples
The Bhimashankar forest contains several smaller shrines — Harihareshwar forest temple and Siddhivinayak caves are worth a quiet detour after the main temple visit.

Why Choose an EV for Pune–Bhimashankar?
EV handles the ghat climb to 3,200 ft smoothly
Electric motors deliver instant torque — the Kia Carens EV climbs the Bhimashankar ghat without strain. Regenerative braking on the descent gives more controlled, smoother deceleration than diesel.
Zero emissions inside the wildlife sanctuary
Bhimashankar is a declared wildlife sanctuary. Driving a zero-emission EV through the forest is the responsible choice — no diesel exhaust in a protected ecosystem.
Serves both pilgrims and trekkers — 7 seats
The same 7-seater Kia Carens EV works for a family pilgrimage group or a trekking squad. No cramped hatchback — full legroom for a 3-hour journey each way.
Fixed fare regardless of ghat road conditions
Ghat roads sometimes have diversions after monsoon. App cabs charge dynamic fares or refuse bookings. We charge ₹2,200 fixed — confirmed before you leave Pune.
