Ramkund is the best-known ghat on the Godavari in Nashik. Pilgrims come here throughout the year for ritual bathing and prayers, and for the immersion of ashes of loved ones.

Significance

In the Ramayana tradition, Rama is believed to have bathed here during the exile. Please read the river and ghat safety guidance before visiting, especially on crowded days.
