Trip to Harihareshwar

This time I planned to spent 3 days holidays at some beach away from city crowd at peacefull location and made my trip Harihareshward with Family.

Harihareshwar is an untouched, clean & beautiful beach at Konken track.

We started for trip from home on Friday early morning and packed all the required stuff for three days outing at beach, dumped in the car and started on

I took NH17 (Mumbai-Goa) highway route and started from Ghansoli, Navi Mumbai

Ghansoli -> Vashi -> Palm Beach Road -> Panvel -> Pen -> Wadkal Naka

We stopped at Wadkal Naka for breakfast - had some typical maharashtrian breakfast Paha, Missal Pav, Tea etc in nice veg restairant at main signal

We took left from Wadkal and started driving on Goa road in an hour we reached to Mangaon and asked from local the way to Hariharehwar

We left goa road and took right from Mangaon - road was good thru various ghats sometime narrow.... via mehsala - we reached in 1 and 1/2 hour to Harihareshward village.

It is traditionally Maharashtrian village - much away from any city touch and you can feel it like our traditional India there

We made our stay in Mauli Beach Resort a homestay house owned by local villager. It is neat and clean place and has very big Supari and coconut plantations baug around it, which is originally owned by house owner and his baug connects to the beach, beach was few yards away from our accomodations.

Environment - Typical village don't expect any luxary

Food - Traditional Maharashtrin Food made at local's home not many choices, Food is normal and you have plan well your food and inform to person to prepare it as per your need

Rs 50 to 60 for Veg lunch normally

Rs 60 to 75 for Non Veg lunch

Trip to Dr Modi Resort in Karjat & Visit to Saguna Baug

Oct 2010 - I went for a weekend trip with family to Dr. Modi’s Resort at Karjat, which is around 100 kms from Mumbai.
We started early morning on Saturday, it was 2 hrs pleasant drive - we even made a break on the way at some temple having very big statue of God Hanuman
We checked in at Modi Resort around 10.00 AM – This resort is very clean, well maintained and Dr Modi provides various massage service & treatment – check website http://www.drmodisresort.com for detail. We made an overnight stay at Resort
Next day early morning I planned to have walk in Village outside Modi’s resort and experienced a peaceful life there
We checked out from resort after having our morning breakfast and drove towards Saguna Baug – which is around 15 kms away from Modi resort. Saguna Baug is known to maintain a truly village environment and natural ponds, farm, river etc. We spend few hours there and departed back to home
