Need advice - Nashik and Dhule Trip

Hey folks,

We’re attending my brother’s convocation in Dhule and are trying to decide whether to stay in Dhule itself or book accommodation in Nashik and commute. As we also want to go to trimbakeshwar and roam around in Nashik.

From what I checked, Dhule–Nashik is roughly 3 hours one way depending on the mode of transport . So staying in Nashik seems doable, but I’m unsure how practical it is with family.

A few things I’d love help with:

1. Stay decision

Is it a good idea to stay in Nashik and travel to Dhule for the event? Or is it better to stay in Dhule itself

2. Transport options between Dhule ↔ Nashik

Would you recommend bus vs cab for a family trip?

3. Stay options (family-friendly)

Any good hotel recommendations in Dhule vs Nashik?

Thanks in advance 🙌
