đź“Ť Location & Getting There
Hotel Ashwin is approximately 125 km from Mumbai, with a typical drive time of 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic. Take the Eastern Express Highway and continue onto NH160 (Mumbai–Nashik Highway) through Thane, Bhiwandi, and the Kasara Ghat. After descending the ghat, continue towards Igatpuri — the hotel is on the Old Agra Road, directly opposite the Mahindra & Mahindra plant.
Hotel Ashwin is approximately 45 km from Nashik, with a drive time of around 45 to 60 minutes via NH160. Head south on the Mumbai–Nashik Highway towards Mumbai, drive past Ghoti Budruk, and as you approach Igatpuri, look for signs near the Mahindra & Mahindra plant on the Old Agra Road.
Hotel Ashwin is just 1 km from Igatpuri Railway Station, making it one of the most conveniently located hotels in the area for guests travelling by train. Auto-rickshaws and taxis are readily available at the station. Several Mumbai–Nashik and Mumbai–Bhusawal trains stop at Igatpuri, making it an easy weekend getaway by rail.
The nearest major airport is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai, approximately 130–140 km away. Nashik Airport (ISK) is closer at around 65 km but has limited connectivity. From Mumbai airport, guests can hire a cab directly to the hotel (approximately 3 hours) or take a train from Kasara or Thane to Igatpuri Railway Station.
Igatpuri is situated at an elevation of 2,158 ft above sea level, giving it a cooler and more pleasant climate than Mumbai or Nashik. Temperatures range from a minimum of 12°C in winter to a maximum of 38°C in peak summer. The monsoon season (June–September) is spectacular — waterfalls cascade down the Sahyadri hills and the valley is blanketed in mist and lush greenery, making it one of the most popular seasons to visit.
