Field notes

Western-Maharashtra mid-tier city — India's actual wine country (Sula, York, Soma vineyards). Same e-Tourist visa story as Mumbai. College Road and Gangapur Road are the walkable pockets. Coworking is thin (a handful of spots). Cooler than Mumbai due to elevation (~580m); summers cap around 38°C rather than 40°C+. The Kumbh Mela rhythm (every 12 years) is the structural pilgrimage event. Genuinely cheap, reliable fibre.

~580m elevation makes Nashik meaningfully cooler than Mumbai or Pune — summer caps around 31°C rather than 35°C+. Monsoon (June–September) brings genuine flooding rain (8–9 mm/day at peak); the wine-country grape harvest is post-monsoon (October–November). Winter (November–February) is the comfort window with mild dry days.
