Location Details

Anjeneri is a beautiful village with lot of significance in history and mythology, being the birthplace of Lord ‘Hanuman’. Lord Hanuman was the son of ‘Pawan’ (the wind) and ‘Anjani’, and hence the fort is called as ‘Anjeneri ’. Anjeneri is one of the important forts in the ranges of Trimbakeshwar near Nashik. In 1672 A.D., the Marathas captured the Trimbak fort and during the same period, Anjeneri became a part of Swarajya. Later, after 1750 A.D., it was under the control of the Nizams. The spread of Anjeneri is quite huge with number of ways to climb to the top.
