Anjaneri - One of the important fort in the Nasik - Trimbakeshwar region is 20kms away from Nasik on Trimbak road. The place is of significance as per Hindu mythology - its a birthplace of Lord Hanuman and there is temple dedicated to his mother "Mata Anjani'. Hence the name Anjaneri. Its much older than Ramayana age and earlier was called "Rishi Mukh Parvat". Situated at 4264 ft above sea level, its a delite for hikers and devotees alike. They say Lord Hanuman was born here and spend his childhood and grew up on same mountain. Anjaneri is also situated close to Jyotirling of Lord Shiva at Trimbakeshwar and one can also get close view of Brahmagiri hills from where holy river Godavari originates and flows all the way to Bay of Bengal, travelling 1465kms and is 2nd largest river in India.
