Key Highlights |
◉ The main source of Ganga-Godavari is located in the Brahmagiri Mountains. |
◉ Temple at High Altitude Along The Difficult Path. |
The Ganga Godavari Udgam, also known as Gangadwar, is located on the Brahmagiri hill in Nashik. This is the place where the Godavari stream comes after starting from Bhamhagiri (nearby mountain). At a short distance there is also the place where Guru Gorakhnath had performed penance. There are also 101 Shivaling’s here.
About Ganga Godavari Udgam in Detail:
The Godavari, South Vahini Ganga, originates at an altitude of 1067 m in the Brahmagiri Hills of the Western Ghats in Nashik district of Maharashtra and continues to travel south east for more than 1465 km to meet the Bay of Bengal at Narsapuram in West Godavari district.
Like other Indian rivers, the Godavari originates from the Shiva temple, Trimbakeshwar, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas. After Trimbakeshwar and just before Nashik, there is a pond called Chakratirtha, from here the Godavari flows as river. Therefore many people consider Chakratirtha as the direct origin place of Godavari.
How to Reach Ganga Godavari Udgam
There are two options to reach the Ganga Godavari origin from Trimbakeshwar Temple:
1) Go by auto or walk at the base and then climb 750.
2) Take auto to ghat which goes till gangadwar junction and then climb 180 steps.
Things to Keep in Mind:
❀ At the start of these 180 steps there is a big rock where Nath Sampradaya guru Macchindranath is said to have given diksha to his shishya.
❀ Guide will ask for 200 rs but actually 100 rs is enough. There is doli for older ppl and kids. On the way one can have tea, lime juice etc.
❀ On top, there are 3 temples, a small walk takes to Shiv Lingas created by Gautam muni, the place where Gorakshanath did tapa.
❀ Note that the stream of Godavari is actually non-existent here.
