Shree Saptashrungi devi temple is a must visit place. It's around 70 KMs from Nashik city. This is said to be one of the sakthipeet of goddess Durga. Even though I drove on ghat Road for the first time, the journey was very nice. The temple is situated at the center of seven hills. We can even reach there through steps. After climbing the hills to reach the main temple, there is a provision of ropeway car which they are charging Rs 110 (in 2023). Otherwise, we need to climb around 500 steps to reach the main temple.

I had a great time at Saptshrungi Mata Temple in Vani on Kojagiri Purnima. The temple was bustling and beautifully decorated. I felt a deep connection with the divine, and the whole experience was wonderful. I recommend it for a spiritual visit.

It is considered among one of the holiest places of Maharashtra. Nestled within the seven peaks, the temple almost sticks out of a cliff. One can reach the temple either by steps or by "India's first" funicular railway system. The road to the hilltop passes through the raw, lush and verdant stretch of greenery. One will find a small array of hotels near the parking lobby to enjoy local delicious food. Rope costs 110/- (changes according to season) it includes both up and down. The slip needs to return back to them. If you forget fine will be the original price.

Strictly taking about the temple, the shrine is located at a loft on the hill surface. The goddess idol is carved over hill walls. The idol is huge so you can have a beautiful glance. The place offers good vibes. But but, The arrangements are insufficient with respect to barricades that guide visitors towards the statue. STRICTLY SINGLE person barricading is required from all sides. Else stampede can happen anytime. If visitor flow is smooth, things are normal, but if its crowded, the Junction area where trolley visitors merge with people from stairs, can choke people to death. DIRECT TICKET to HEAVEN.

The Shaktipeeth is near Nashik & Saputara. The Cost of Cab from nashik (to and fro) will be Rs.3000-3500. Beautiful Road....must visit in the early morning for beautiful clouds covering your car or bike. The selfie point on the way up is a good location viewing the valley. The Ropeway is the best... Do visit on Weekdays for less crowds. For Parking, 1) Can park at the shops outside, but need to buy something from the shop 2) Can park in the ropeway building, the cost of that is nominal too. Must Avoid during the weekend. Info : Goddess Sari's Right Hand fell here ... Thus Shaktipeeth... Covered by 7 Hills this Saptasrungi mata. Around 10ft tall with 18 hands. Jay Mata ji
