Overview

Anjaneri is the birthplace of the staunch bhakta of Lord Ram, Hanuman. It is is located some 15km from the city on the Nasik-Trimbakeshwar road. This place is named after the mother of Hanuman Anjani. Lord Hanuman was the son of 'Pavan' (the wind) and 'Anjani', and hence the fort is called Anjaneri. Anjaneri is one of the important forts of Tryambakeshwar near Nashik. It is a splendid mixture of the mountains, temples and the lush greenery. Anjaneri is not only popular among the devotees but also the adventure lovers because of their rocky surroundings.Visiting Anjaneri in the monsoon season gives one a very heavenly feeling. The cloud clad mountains, lush greenery, reverse waterfalls are all very amazing. The Nashik-Tryambakeshwar road is branched at a distance of 20 km from Nashik as 'Anjaneri Phata'.

On the way from Anjaneri village to the fort some carvings can be seen in the caves near the steps. These caves have been carved out people from Jain religion. We reach the temple of ‘Anjani Mata’ within 10 minutes from the plateau. The temple is quite big. It is a proper place to accommodate on the fort.
