Malvan -konkan 2015

a 5 Days trip to sindhudurg district

rice field, waterfalls, mountains, fog and every thing so green :-)

we took a train from Dadar to kankavli station, and thanks to niki and his dad we got a perfect place to stay... which was the most exciting part of this trip

we learned to use the chola, cook our food with min stuffs, getting water from well n using it... hahahah.. got some serious body pain but i wont forget this part of my trip ever... 

we visited many places like local river, mountains, water fall, beaches, temples

which included famous spots like tarkali beack, tsunami island, kankavli city, savdav waterfall, under water temples, temples inside a cave

and the best part was malvan food
