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.
