backwaters. Enjoy the short ride in a AC luxury bus to Rai Bhatgaon Jetty. Cut

and the roofed houses with clean courtyards add a quaint touch to the panorama.
Ganapatipule is bathed in the golden sunshine and silver moonlight, lapped by
gentle goam-glecked waves from the expanse of the Arabian Sea. It's laced with
the unforgettable aroma of fruits, flowers and mangroves. And the timid whispers
of swaying coconut trees carry you away into a land, that's serene, sedate and
unspoilt.
Feast your taste buds over a vast spread of 'Konkan' cuisine and spend some
time to witness cultural programme. Mingle in the company of the locals, who
are as feel at home visit the holy temple shrine dedicated to Lord Ganesh, flocked
by millions every year. Walk down the beach to the tune of the splashing waves.
Head out towards Ratnagiri, the land of the world famous 'Alphonso' mangoes,

Temples, forts and virgin beaches, you would wish you could stay a little longer.
But the train whistles and you are off to yet another beautiful destination
feasting over a royal spread served on board.
