So here day 2,we started early this time and started our move towards malwan a 30km ride from ores. Takes nearly 45min . When it comes to me I get this child like bliss seeing those oceans , the long coconut trees and the beach.The beach ............. we went onto the beach, got some selfies ,felt some water on our feets and had some coconut water. Further we decided to travel to tarkarli just 10-15 km ride from malwan on the way we saw regional marriages , more of trees and narrower roads. We stopped for luch and had gawan the traditional dish of malwan , it none other than rice and wheat mixed ambolis.
So delicious that each one had atleast 3.We continued our ride and stopped in tarkali again went on the beach.......... sat on the sand . Perceiving the sound of oceans and had some rest. By 4 we decided to go to Devbagh just 3 km away from tarkali. Where we planned to do scuba diving. We had this agent , you may find many of those , we were taken 25-30 km away from the coast with the instructor instructing all the necessaries,Had that feeling from ZNMD but laila was missing, well its different kind of experience though never had been under water more than 20 sec was in there for atleast 25 min , experiencing different species of fishes,coralsand water pressure yup it hurts. sourround by shades of blue an experience that everybody will cherish forever. Though I would recommend you to do this exercises in the morning since the sand underneath is not disturbed and you may have a clear view.
Back to coast. Then we went on the other side of beach where we took a boating ride with guide and saw the tsunami island which was created by tsunami disaster in 2003 . Now that island is created into fun attraction place,where we can ride on speed boats, the banana ride etc and it also has this small shops where you have tea , nimbus sharbat and even maggi. Clicked some pictures and further saw the crocodile island , ocean-river sangman a sight to remember sun was setting everyone was chilling just enjoying the ride and the sunset. We completed this exercise by 6 30 in the evening and stated our journey back to oros. Had this typical malwan fish masala in our dinner and went back to our room . Well so much can happen in one day,day to remember. Until next time malwan.
So, here is the day. All bags packed and ready to move, month of planning is going to be executed.
Malwan here we come. We started our journey from kolhapur which is roughly 150 km from malwan. We started our journey at 8 in the morning it took almost 3 and half hours to reach oros where we decided to stay . I would recommend you to take ganganbawada road since the road is good along with that you can also enjoy the scenic beauty through your windows . Oros is a small town having all main government building of the district sindhudurg . We visited almost 3 temples and a lake in the evening. Had dinner at a small hotel and went to our rooms which we booked in bakt nivas near to rawal nath mandir.
Day 3,Eventually last day in the district of sindhudurg since we had full day to travel we decided to travel to kunkeshwar temple and devgad on the way. Kunkeshwar 65 km ride from oros . One thing to say you would enjoy every road of the district having this greenery all around , the beach....,good roads and cold air. Ahm! Back to journey so kunkeshwar temple which resides beside the beautiful Arabian seashore. It is shiv temple, beautifully built and crafted along with it also has bakt nivas where you can stay , it also has small shops and restaurants, we took the blessing and moved to an small shop for lunch where we had malwani ghawan again hmm so delicious!. Then we further travelled to devgad where we had experienced pradice on the road. Well if you dream of roads which run parallel through the sea then this is the one, nothing less than a paradise was lucky enough to capture it cold wind ,perceiving sound of oceans , the windmills,the hills , it had almost everything that makes it a perfect scenic beauty.I would recommend you take the road which goes through the temple , the one which has steap curvy road actually the hardest one which I drove upon , but it paid of. After reaching we decided to feel some water but the beach was not that good enough . Finally after the bath we shopped some malwan masala and fishes and drove all the way back to kolhapur. Hell of journey . Until next time.
