The optimal way to visit Trimbakeshwar from Hyderabad it to take the Devagiri Express from Secunderabad station. The train reaches around 0300 am. This is a pretty good time. Simply walk out of the station towards platform # 1. There is a shared taxi stand and a bus stand right out side.
To Trimbakeshwar:
Shared Taxi:
The shared taxi (OMNI) accommodates 8 people and you may have to wait for some time while it becomes full. I the charge was around Rs 100 per person. It is a safe normally to take these. It takes about an hour to reach Trimbakeshwar and the road is pretty good. It is approximately 40 km from the Nashik road station.
Buses:
The buses are run by Maharashtra RTC and may not be very convenient.
At Trimbakeshwar:
The shared taxi will drop you right at the east gate of the temple. The best thing is as I said earlier are the timings. You are at the temple at around 0400 am. You have a lot of budget stay options nearby and some agents will be hanging around to take you to some of these. Bargain on the price.
In case you plan to perform any ceremonies like Rudra Abhishek, Maha Mrityunjaya jaap, or Kal Sarpa Yagna you should talk and book the priest in advance. Rudra abhishek can be done on the same day, normally and takes about 2 hrs. The priest can also ensure a fast track entry from the west gate.
The temple premise is closed for Rudra Abhishek post 0730 am so you should plan accordingly.
Other ceremonies are conducted outside the temple normally at the houses of the priest.
Gents are required to only wear a dhoti to be allowed entry into the main temple premise. Ladies are not allowed inside the main room where the Jyotirlinga is located however they can view the ceremonies on a large LCD TV. They have a replica of the Jyotirlinga outside the main temple on the right side for ladies.
