Bhima Shankar Jyotirlinga Trek

This is one of the oldest and ancient temples of Lord Shiva (6 of 12 jyotirlinga) located in mahrashtra near Pune, Maharashtra. The name Bhima is because the river which is originated from Lord Shiva while he was fighting with one of the demon (name Bhima) son of Kumbhkarna staying in the jungle, River Ganga came jumping down from the Jata (Hair) of Lord Shiva and became big river.

It is very holy and gathering place of people in shravan month in (shivratri), this is the place where you can spend with your family and friends and take advantage of Darshana of Lord Shiva.

As we were planning to go via trek, our trek guru (Arvind ji) asked us to be prepare for tomorrow to visit the place. We (me and Rahul Dwivedi) has started our planning decided to move in next early morning at 4.50 from Bhayandar.

We woke up early in morning as our alarm clock Arvind Bhai always is on time. He started himself ready and given us the time slots to be ready in the specific time.  

We took train from Bhayandar at 5.50 and reached at Dadar and again change the next train to central for Neral and we reached at Neral around 7.30.
