After visiting the Nimboli Hot Water Springs, we sat in the car, asked the locals for directions and started driving. The road develops a T shape here, take left for Ganeshpuri Hot Water Springs and right for Banganga Cold Water Springs. Nimboli village is on he way to Ganeshpuri Hot Water Springs.

After crossing the bridge, we reached Ganeshpuri. There are so many peoples here. The list of temples goes on and on. We parked the car at the car park at a cost of Rs.10 and then headed to the Pujya Baba Holy Hot Water Springs. Again there is no pool here, but the water flows continuously. The flow of the water was not as strong as the one at Unhale Hot Water Springs in Rajapur on NH66.

There are changing rooms available for both men and women near the spring premises. Photography (film and video) is banned, but that didn't stop me from clicking  photos, there is no moral policing here.

We then inquired with the locals again for directions to Banganga, located near Nandi and Gaygotha villages. The locals informed us that it is not a hot water spring but a cold one. Irrespective we still wanted to visit it.

After visiting the Vajreshwari Hot Water Springs, we headed over to see the Nimboli Hot Water Springs, now point to remember here, is that there are no signboards, plus this place is not tagged on google maps, so one has to rely on the locals on the road, which are hard to find. LOL. The locals give correct directions. There are no ST buses plying on this route, so either you travel by your own mode of transport or hire a rickshaw, not sure of the rickshaw rates, but I am sure he will charge a bomb.

After traveling on the narrow, winding roads in the fields and villages we finally reached the Nimboli Hot Water Springs, there is no signboard here. The roads are in good condition. So how did I know the spring is here. There we devotees who had come to take a dip in the water. All thanks to the feast (jatra) we were able to locate the spring.

Om Shivanusaya Mandir, Nimboli is located very near to the springs. You can take it as a landmark. There are three pools here, One for all, One enclosed only for women and the third for men. The water was boiling hot here. I dipped my feet in the water, while some of the devotees bathed themselves, after drawing water from the spring in jugs.

We then crossed the road, and walked down the rocks to reach the water body there, I asked one of the elderly gentlemen who had bathed there, he informed me that the water was hot, nevertheless, I should bathe in it as it will cleanse me of any skin ailments. There was just the two of us here. I guess this place is not as famous as the Vajreshwari Hot Water Springs. There are no hotels here.

We then asked the locals again as they were the only source of direction and headed over to see the Ganeshpuri Hot Water springs.
