Don’t know about VIP pass .but with Rs 200 waiting time was an hour not three hours through normal gate. Have a good viewing

reach the temple at 5 AM, the counter opens at 6.

I didn’t visit during that time , For elderly need helping hand . Always long queue ,with Rs 200 can shorten the queue time from three hours to one hour, I myself didn’t go inside ,was trying to see God outside amongst people outside ,mountains and sky. I didn’t know should have gone to look for origin of Godavari river in the mountains behind, My companions did go inside did not have a very pleasant experience,

All easy. We after reaching Nasik after buying loads of fruits for lunch Went straight to Godavari then to Panchabati. Next morning after shower went to Trimbakeshwar , You if have car will help. Drivers have goggle map will find the way easily . Enjoy Your tour, After touring many countries all over the world ,now we find India has everything which rest of world has.

To pray I would advise find a peaceful cave behind the temple in the high mountains. For praying inside touching the God , power ,fame and or money would help. Film ,cricket business and political big heads would possibly will be welcome ,not me .who cares for me.
