Day trip to Neelkantheshwar Temple and Someshwar Temple Neelkantheshwar Temple: Distance:  55 km (Approx from Ravet, Pune) Location: near Panshet dam. Last 6 KM road condition up to Nilkanteshwar is less good & on the contrary, the route has most amazing scenery. So enjoy the scenery instead of thinking on the less good road. Parking charges: 10rs for 2 wheelers, 20rs for 4 wheelers. Entry Fee: No entry fee Best time to visit: Try to go during day time. Since there is no street light during the evenings. Do not visit during the summer as you won’t see scenic green nature. Winter is the best time to visit.

No such specific time restriction to enter or exit the temple Experience of trek and temple: It has a small trek of around 40-50 minutes. Total trek distance is approx 1.5 km. 70% trek is steep &...
