Deccan Odyssey (Day by Day) Tour
Day 03 : Sindhudurg, Tarkarli, Sawantwadi (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.
