Nashik sits at about 584m elevation in the foothills of the Western Ghats in northern Maharashtra, roughly 170km northeast of Mumbai. Being inland, it has a tropical savanna climate with three clear seasons: a hot, dry summer from March to May, a heavy southwest monsoon from June to September, and a mild, dry winter from November to February. The city receives around 1,450mm of rain a year, and nearly all of it falls between June and September.
