Geography & terrain
Anjaneri sits on the hills above the Nashik valley in Maharashtra, 22 km from Nashik town and barely 8 km from Trimbakeshwar — the Anjaneri hill's long ridge and Hanuman shrine rise from the Sahyadri's western face, where the monsoon's cloud country begins.
History & culture
Ramayana tradition names Anjaneri as the birthplace of Hanuman — the hill of Anjani's son, with the Anjani mata and Hanuman temples marking the legend; the fortified hill's older name and the local devotion of the region have made the ridge a pilgrimage-trek of the Nashik country.
