Shrivardhan Beach

"An adventurous life does not necessarily mean climbing mountains, swimming with sharks, or jumping off cliffs. It means risking yourself by leaving a little piece of you behind in all those you meet along the way." - Shawna Grapentin


Shrivardhan Beach, Konkan Coast, Maharashtra.


          Shrivardhan is one of the oldest towns in Maharashtra(State in India). A holiday in Shrivardhan comes with several bonuses. It is hopping distance from other beach destinations like Diveagar, Kondivali and Harihareshwar. If you get bored of beach hopping you could visit the several shrines located around. Though less on magnificence and splendor, Shri Laxminarayan Temple has been associated with the Peshwas. The Suvarna Ganesh temple and the Harihareshwar temples situated not far off from Shrivardhan are also famous and of high religious importance.

        Shrivardhan offers activities like boating and sailing. The beach is also ideal for swimming since the waters are shallow. You can just laze on the beach, go for a swim and once you have had your heart’s fill, gorge on the sumptuous cuisine of the beach town. Seafood of Shrivardhan is simply delicious. Restaurants pride on providing the best catch of the day.

How to get there ?

Your own car will help you to reduce travelling cost and you can stop in between to enjoy hills and waters around. Even from Pune or Mumbai, roads are well maintained and full of picturesque geographical features like hills, plateaus, plains, waterfalls etc. While travelling from Pune, you can opt to go via Tamhini ghat road.

          Crossing mighty Sanhyadris(Western Ghats) and view of mountains around, while passing through ghat section will be your memorable experience.
        Rickshaws and Six-Seaters are available for travel between Shrivardhan and Harihareshwar. There is also an availability of Maharashtra state transport buses, which provide connections to all neighbouring cities. Buses connect Mumbai (185 km), Pune (163 km), Harihareshwar (20 km) and Panvel (125 km). The nearest train station is in Mangaon, located 45 km away from Shrivardhan with strong connections throughout the Konkan coast to Pune and Mumbai.

The Other day at Dargah

We look for special day or special event to learn things which are very obvious.  Many of us look for books or television to become aware of our basic life principles.  For instance one of the biggest yet very well entrenched feature of our country is secularism.  It means equal respect for all religions.             You can see people in India practicing it without knowing the word SECULARISM. Indian secularism differs from Western.  In India all religions are recognised  by the government, Where as in western countries  you need to keep you religion as your private affairs.  When I was sitting on Dashaswamedh Ghat on the banks of Ganges  in Varanasi, I met a young man from Spain,  William .  He said "in Spain, people  respect each other's religion but they are very formal in doing so".  Here in India William  found that people from different  religions intermingle very freely.  We Indians are never surprised to see Hindus visiting Gurdwara or a Durgah.  This basic fe
