If you are looking for a trek with spiritual weight in Nashik district, Mangi-Tungi is a great choice. The twin Selbari-range pinnacles above Bhilwadi near Taharabad are a major Jain pilgrimage site, and roughly 2,000 steps climb to the arch where paths divide for Mangi and Tungi. Ancient Jain idols carved into the rock and big range views reward the stairs. Manmad Junction is the nearest railhead. October to February makes the long stair climb far more comfortable.
