Two days split cleanly: Day 1 is Trimbakeshwar’s — the 7 AM official puja window, the Kushavarta snan, the Brahmagiri views — and Day 2 is Nashik’s — Panchavati, the hill goddess, and the misal that ends every argument. Checked 02 October 2026.

Day 2 — Nashik
| Time | Plan | Basis |

Adjustments
- One day: Trimbakeshwar morning → Panchavati evening. Saptashrungi waits.
- Special pujas (Narayan Nagbali): add a day — the rites run three days and need the day-before arrival (reported).
- Elders: trolley at Saptashrungi, autos everywhere — the flattest Jyotirlinga logistics after Somnath.
