It's better in Konkan

With the world reaching to Goa the so called exotic place for a nice vacation, we were toddling around the cost line of Maharashtra more commonly known as Konkan. And for those days yes I feel its a much better to spend your weekend in Konkan along time beaches of Malvan, Tarkarli, Chivla and many others. These beaches are fairly less crowded and one can enjoy the madness and can relax a world here. To reach this place the approach road is fantastic and is worth a drive. I would love to drive along this road again. There are many good places as well which we can explore along this coastline. During our 3 day stay here we managed to visit places like Tarkarli beach, Sindudurg fort, Chivla beach, rock garden, ganesh mandir and sangam. MTDC has made provisions for house boats here. You can enjoy a stay in these house boats and be rest assured its a memorable stay. If the weather is good and the sea is clam we can do snorkling as well which otherwise is available in Andaman only. :( The boat ride to the sidudurg fort is just too good. One keeps wondering how could Shivaji Maharaj manage to build such a great structure in the middle of this sea. Hire a tourist guide and he will take you around the fort and sure you would love to hear some astonishing tales and some interesting facts about the fort and its history.The only sad part of the trip was the rainfall which for some reasons just not coming to a halt. By gods grace everytime we were to go to a place to see something the rain gods showed us the way. There we also visited my mom's village called Masure. On the last day while returing back we went to Ganpati Pule. Another intersting place and finally exhausted like anything this bunch of crazy guys came home and hit the bed hard for a sound sleep.

Some snaps from our visit.
