Nashik East

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.  
 

Key Project Details

• The Route: It covers a strategic 1.36 km stretch connecting Sita Gufa, the historic Kalaram Temple, and the Ram Kund bathing ghats on the Godavari river.

A planned pedestrian bridge over the Godavari River connecting Balaji Kot in Old Nashik to Ganesh Wadi. The bridge is designed to be built above the flood level to ensure safe, year-round pedestrian access and to support crowd movement during Kumbh Mela 2027. It will replace the existing low-level Ram Setu walkway, which frequently becomes unusable during high water levels.
