DEC 11 Konkan Tour to Guhagar-Velneshwar-Hedvi or Budhal

Guhagar is a perfect example of the Konkan coastline of Maharashtra. Serene, virgin beaches, coir products, coconut plantations, fishing communities and last, but not at all the least, the juicy Haapus Alphonso mangoes and cashews. Far away from the hustle bustle of towns, this quiet, lazy place is ideal for a getaway.

Guhagar beach 


Guhagar Beach - Guhagar beach is one of the cleanest and less polluted beaches in Maharashtra. It is located just within 200 metres from Guhagar S.T. Depot towards west.

                                       
Velneshwar Temple 

Velaneshwar - Approximately 25 KM south of Guhagar, along Guhagar-Hedvi road, is located this beautiful temple of Lord Shiva. The temple is right on the pristine sea shore. There are smaller temples of other gods like Shri Vishnu, Ganesha, Kalabhairav around the main temple.

Hedvi - Hedvi is a small village located at approximately 27KM along Guhagar-Narvan road, towards south of Guhagar. This small vilalge is yet another popular location around Guhagar
...


Hedavi Lord Ganesha Temple 

Budhal - The sea shore of Budhal has both kinds to offer - serenity and danger. This small town is located around 5 KM from Village Adoor Phata along Guhagar Hedvi Road. The town is scantily populated - hardly 40 houses. The approach road is pretty bad and terminates at a spot that offers commanding view of the entire Budhal village and the rough rocky sea shore it has. One can also see a small temple and a virgin beach of yellow sand past the village.
