Alibag

Back from peace.....and now got to carry on with my usual stuff........doin this for gys who were wondering/demanding what i was up to this weekend........and for those ppl who wanted to explore this peaceful place ,especially made by god to celebrate weekends.......


Alibag ....thats the place i am talking in fact writing about.......Not a huge tourist spot....but a place worth a watch ..........Its a small seaside town located about 100 km from mumbai.......and getting there hardy takes an hour and a half.....such a peaceful place that even ur mobile network corporates with you.......

Didnt really face any problem getting there.......this is wat i hav done with my camera!!!







Gateway of India:Thats where the ferry originates every hour



The ferry that carried me safely to other side of the sea



See whom i hav encountered!!......Thts the Indian Emperor....ship to England


Mandwa port:thts where the ferry terminates......45 mins from Mumbai and about 13 km from Alibag....a bus shall bring u to Alibag


Accommodation isn't a problem if ur goin on a weekday........but u need to be lucky like me to get one on weekends......If ur really looking for a break ,prefer a cottage instead of a lodge or a resort.......there r plenty of cottages available with reasonable rates...

kihim beach:never seen a beach with very few ppl..


alibag fort:(kolaba fort):now this is something unique......have u seen a fort surrounded by water on 4 sides..........this is it........this fort can be visited only during the low tide........i.e from 12:30 pm to 5 pm .u can walk up to the fort or the horses (tongas ) are available which takes a lot of beatings to take u to the other end.....

The fort during the low tide



a view from inside the fort





birla mandir.....pic not available as we wern't allowed to click pics in the temple......its bout 20 km from alibag ......u got to go through hell before reaching this heaven........the roads r sick without street lights...... but this temple is different from other birla mandirs ..a greener and the majestic one i have ever seen....



karigiri: place where hand mand sculptures are made....

it is not THE END.........leekin pics abhi baaki nahi hai mere dost........thts all i could do in a day!!!!!!
