To manage the large crowds gathering for Brahmagiri Pradakshina at Trimbakeshwar during the first, second, fourth, and fifth Mondays of Shravan, the Nashik division of the State Transport Corporation has scheduled extra buses. This move aims to accommodate the influx of devotees visiting the sacred site.
The third Shravan Monday, falling on August 26th, will have separate traffic planning due to the expected heavy flow of pilgrims.

- Second Shravan Monday: August 12, 2024
- Fourth Shravan Monday: August 26, 2024
- Fifth Shravan Monday: September 2, 2024
On these dates, Srikshetra Trimbakeshwar experiences a significant influx of devotees. To ensure smooth transportation, the following bus schedules have been arranged through the Nashik Division at New CBS (Thakkar Bus Station) in Nashik:
- Nashik to Trimbak: 25 buses
