Ram Kal Path Heritage Corridor & Ghats Redevelopment, Nashik

The Ram Kal Path is a major ₹106 crore heritage corridor project in Nashik designed to transform the Panchavati pilgrimage zone ahead of the 2027 Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Funded primarily by the Central Government, this 1.36 km spiritual walkway connects sacred landmarks like Sita Gufa and Ram Kund with restored ancient aesthetics. It serves as a critical urban renewal initiative to improve infrastructure and manage the flow of millions of devotees.
