Day 03 Sindhudurg, Tarkarli (Friday):
Next day the train chugs in to the tip of the Konkan coast, sindhudurg
Nagari Railway station. A luxury AC bus transfers you to Malvan Jetty
form the station. Settle in a comfortable boat, arranged just for you,
and enjoy the measerizing view of flora, birds and caressing waves on
the ride toe Sindhudurg Fort.
Next stop the one time naval base, stubbornly guarded, till today by the
unconquered Ocean Fort of Sindhudurg. As you approach the fort from Malvan
jetty past a rocky reef, marvel at the hard work of over 6000 skilled
hands that worked round the clock for 3 years. Within its premises are
temples dedicated to Bhavani. Mahadeo, Jarimari, Mahapurush and Shivaji.
Walk on the two-mile long rampart walls and watch the breathtaking view
of the vast open sea as it fires a volley of spray 30 ft. below. And at
times even 30 feet high, an amazing experience indeed.
Head out to Tarkarli by luxury AC bus. A virgin beach at the confluence
of river Karli and Arabian Sea with silver soft sands and pristine clear
waters. The wide river, the beautiful sailboats, the tiny islands, the
hamlets at eh riverbank, all contributes to the picture-postcard beauty
of Tarkarli. Enjoy a lelaxed lunch at the well-appointed MTDC beach resort,
complete with twenty 'Konkani' style cottages. Indeed a perfect place
to enjoy the mouth-watering 'Malvani' cuisine and then unwind.
Next stop, Tarkarli Jetty, for a romantic boat ride through the Tarkarli
creek up to Kalse Jetty. Move on to Sawantwade by AC luxury bus, situated
on the southernmost point of Sindhudurg. This elite heritage destination
is the entry point to Goa. The colourful town, once an estate capital,
is home to the Chitar Ali and Jagannathrao Bhosale Garden. Shilpla Gram
is yet another place you must visit. A craft village, where you can
watch local craftsmen manufacturing handicrafts and what's more you
can buy some momentos too. The evening promises a traditional meal in
the train. As the train beads to Goa from Sawantwadi, you will leave
behind this coastal paradise rich in history and natural splendour.
