	Nandgaon is a railway station on the Bombay-Bhusaval section of the Central Railway. It is a municipal town lying 96.56 km (sixty miles) north-east of Nashik and is also connected by road to [[Ellora caves]] which are 70.81 km (forty-four miles) distant. From a small village in 1881, Nandgaon has grown into a fairly big town but in spite of the commercial activity and prosperity it has brought, the town has not been developed on systematic lines. The roads, though of cement-concrete, are for the most part narrow and flanked by rows of congested and ill-ventilated houses, with the exception of the one leading to the railway station. The railway station has comfortable waiting and refreshment rooms. Behind the railway station not far away, is a travellers' bungalow. Here are also located the municipal civil dispensary and the veterinary dispensary of the [[District council (India)\|Zilla Parishad]].
