Tamhini Ghat - Delight in rainy season

Hi Guys

These are the snaps from Tamhini ghat, we went via Tamhini ghat for Rafting this rainy season those are the snaps taken during journey.

Beautiful waterfalls at Tamhini…. Unfortunately the life of these are very short just during good rains…. They immediately dry up when rain stops

Rafts… don’t forget to enjoy rafting on Kundalika river just a few km from Tamhihni…

Murud-Janjira - Kashid beach

Hey Guys this post is about Murud Janjira trip

Murud is located around 200 KM from Pune, a great place for weekend picnic. By car it takes around 4.5 hours and roads are in good condition. Head to Bombay from Pune from express highway or the old highway, take Khopoli exit and then there is a left turn going towards Alibag, just before Alibag take right turn to reach Murud and the Kashid beach.

Directions:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=pune&daddr=Alibag,+Raigad,+Maharashtra,+India&hl=en&geocode=%3BFQOpHAEdUOBXBA&mra=ls&sll=18.66043,73.362925&sspn=0.787156,1.455688&ie=UTF8&z=10&pw=2

You will reach Kashib beach and find a fort over there... wait thats not Murud-Jinjira. That is another fort constructed by Sambhaji Maharaj... more 4 km and you will reach Murud-Jinjira the undefeated fort. The fort was build by Siddhi Johar who came from Africa.

The name Jaijira comes from arebic word zazira. They have boat service which takes you to the Fort. The boat would charge you Rs.15 and Rs. 20 for the guide more 20 bucks.

Entrance to the fort























This cannon is called Kadakbangdi - it makes sound like bengals when fired


Cannons made of Panch dhatu is a mixture of five metals: copper, gold, lead, silver and iron.[1]. With 40 degree temperature around the cannons were still not hot……. the temperature was less then human body temperature!!!

Kashid beach.... it's good

Goa the land of sun, the sand and the sea food

I had heard that Goa the land of sun and sand… what I realized is that it is also the land of  sun, the sand and the sea food. Goa is the place where party is always on, happening crowd all around. 

Railway journey Pune - GOA

Taken from the train 2 hours before madgaon

 

Calangute beach... the most famous beach... lots of good hotels for sea food nice shopping places. The shops around are quite expensive instead try shops on Anjuna beach they are reasonable 

I love being near water…. being in the sea for hours make me happy… what I enjoyed most in Goa is the sea, the food and bikes

Beautiful shapes made out of stone on Vagator beach

Fisherman looking at the sea during early morning hours.... must be planning to catch lots fish

Early morning at Calangute beach... fresh air lots of seagulls around

Wish I could have this! surf board for rescue people, I wish some one could rent a board to me, all the hotels near Vagaotor rent surf boards but those are mini or baby boards... it's fun too

Banana ride – This is a good one we sit on this banana shaped rubber and then they tie it behind a speed boat and give a ride in good speed they also make you fall down to add some thrill of course  you have the life jacket to save you

Parasailing – Once of the joy rides to be enjoyed at Goa… it’s fun but if you are looking at it as adventure you might get disappointed as it’s not as thrilling as it looks

The river princess (not sure what was it doing in sea though)
