How to Reach Trimbakeshwar from Nashik?

You can travel by state-run buses or by renting a car/taxi. Traveling by MSRTC buses is a cheaper option since all cab rentals treat this as an outstation ride.

Buses – There are buses that ply every 15 mins from 5.00 am to 8.00 pm, and every 30 mins from 8.00 pm to 10.00 pm between Nashik CBS Bus stop and Trimbakeshwar bus stop. The distance from the Trimbakeshwar bus stop is walkable and takes barely 2 to 5 minutes. The Bus fare ranges from Rs. 25 to Rs.42 and there are 5 to 6 stops in between. You can check the timetables here.
Cabs – You can hire local taxis or Ola/Uber rentals. Uber treats these as outstation rides and you are charged for round-trip. This can cost anything upwards of Rs. 700 for one way, the cost depending on whether you are traveling during festival times/ peak times when the cost can be significantly higher. In terms of ease of getting a car rental from Trimbakeshwar, my personal experience says it is difficult. So I would suggest you book hourly rentals or finalize the round trip with the local taxi that you are taking.

Best Time to Visit Trimbakeshwar

The best time to take the journey to cover the Nashik to Trimbakeshwar distance is from October to March. During these months, the weather is pleasant and there are no rains. Do keep in mind that the queues to darshan are excruciatingly long, so traveling during these times ensures you are comfortable as you wait your turn.

Also, I would suggest avoiding visiting on Mondays or during Festival times especially like Shivratri as during such times there is a huge influx of devotees to both Nashik and Trimbak area. So you will possibly struggle with everything from booking hotels to booking cars for travel or even parking your car near the temple.
