A TRIP FROM MUMBAI TO GOA AND BACK!
Tour type: Budgeted tour -- The target was an average of about Rs.1000 per day including boarding, lodging, petrol, etc; eventually it roughly worked out to about Rs. 844 per day.
Mode of Transportation:
Honda Activa Scooter – 109 cc.
Purpose: To experience the essence of South Coastal Maharashtra.
DAY 1: 13-01-2015
Mumbai to Shrivardhan. Via coastal Roads.
Distance travelled: 160 Kms.
Route: a)
Versova to Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf) = 28 Kms. b) Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry
Wharf) to Rewas ferry boat jetty = 18 Kms. c) Rewas ferry boat jetty to
Rajapuri ferry boat jetty, via Kihim, Alibaug, Nagaon, Kashid beach, and Murud
= 76 Kms. d) Rajapuri ferry boat jetty to Dighi ferry boat jetty = 5.5 Kms. e) Dighi
ferry boat jetty to Shrivardhan, via Diveagar, and Borli Panchatan = 32.5 Kms.
- I boarded the ferry launch, along with my Honda Activa, from Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf) at 0900 hrs. My scooter papers were checked alongwith my identity by the policemen on duty. The ticket fare is Rs. 65/- per person, and the unofficial portrage for the scooter is Rs.150/-. The scooter was manually lifted onto the motor launch and tied on the hand-rails of the upper deck. After an uneventful passage accross Mumbai harbour, we arrived at Rewas boat jetty at 1020 hrs. The passengers disembarked and the m/cycles and my scooter was again manually off-loaded.
- Commenced riding along the Rewas – Alibaug road. About 3 kms before Alibaug, I came across a clock shop with large display windows (on the left side of the road) called ‘Lavish Antique Clocks’. Since I was interested in watches, clocks, and the like, I stopped and went in. There were various clocks on display, some having frames studed with coins, some in brass, wood, steel, etc. I met the owner Mr. Vivek Eknath and his family who were present there. After admiring some of the work, I left the shop to resume my journey.
- Since I had not had breakfast, I stopped over at a ‘farsan’ shop, in Nagaon (looked more like an overgrown village), for Vada-pav, the favourite snack available everywhere in Maharashtra, accompanied by a refreshing cup of tea. I was surprised to hear the owner and his wife speak in the Gujrati language, since my ancestors also hailed from Gujrat and knowing the language well, I struck up a conversation with them. We spoke for quite some time on various local topics and when I asked them as to how long were they residing there, they stated that they had settled here since India’s Independence and were very well accepted as part of the local society.
- After my brief repast, I left Nagaon following the Alibaug – Revdanda road which leads on to the Revdanda – Murud road, I reached Rajapuri boat jetty. On the way, I passed the Local Nawab’s residential Palace. It is quite a large imposing building and nobody is allowed inside the premises without prior permission.
- At the Rajapuri boat jetty, the scooter was again hand-lifted aboard a motor launch and I was ferried across to the Dighi Port side of the creek. The ticket fare for self was Rs. 13/- and for the scooter was Rs. 30/-. There is an alternate route involving a car ferry (generally called ‘jungle jetty’ by the locals) from Agardanda to Rohini, however I was advised that this road is in very bad condition due to deep potholes carved out by the passing of large dumper trucks carrying bauxite ore to the docks. From Rajapuri jetty, one can even take sailing dhows to the Janjira fort which lies ¾ of a mile across from the mainland.
- I followed the Dighi – Shrivardhan road which passes through Borli Panchatan, to reach Shrivardhan at about 1630 hrs. At Borli Panchatan, I had lunch at a small restaurant called ‘Hotel Swad’, consisting of Chicken curry rice.
- On reaching Shrivardhan, I contacted Aashirwad Lodge, a family run guest house consisting of about 6 rooms which they rent out. They were well painted with attached bath / Indian style toilet. The rent was Rs. 250/- per day, which was most suitable and value for money. The sheets, on thin mattresses placed on steel frame beds, were old but freshly washed and clean. The owners’ family also stay on the premises. Tea, coffee, is readily available, but meals may be arranged by prior intimation or had outside, where a wider choice is available.
- On inquiry, I was told that the beach was very famous and it was only a 5 minutes’ walk away. So by 1730 hrs after freshening up, I went to the beach. On arriving there, I was very surprised to step onto a broad promenade, there was also a raised platform on which several benches were placed for people to sit and admire the view. The rest of the promenade also had benches placed every few feet apart. There were small hut-like ‘shelters’ made up of a steel framework and plexi-glass probably for the convenience and comparative privacy, for changing. The best was the dustbins placed every few feet making them very easily accessible to dispose-off all the trash that is produced by picnickers; however, unfortunately this was only on the promenade which was clean and tidy. The beach itself, above the high tide line was very dirty, littered with bottles and plastics, all along its length. It was a classic case of ‘one can take the horse to the water but one can’t make him drink’. The dustbins stood silently watching while the beach was being littered with trash.
- About 2 hours later, I walked past 2 gentlemen who had been walking on the promenade and after greeting them we conversed for about half hour. I was guided by one of them to a small cafe, which I think was, called Cafe Maria, where the owner was taking orders and cooking on the front porch. I ordered for a chicken leg, he picked out a marinated one from a pile on the counter, chopped it into pieces and deep fried the pieces in a ‘kadhai’ of oil. On completion, he put them all in a plate and drenched them in a sweet and spicy sauce before bringing them over to my table. It was extremely delicious. I wolfed the whole lot and washed it down with a cola. I then returned to the hotel and being tired after the day’s long ride, eventually went to bed early.
DAY 2: 14-01-2015
at Shrivardhan – Sight-seeing.
Distance travelled: 82.5 Kms.
Route: Shrivardhan
to Janjira Island Fort and back via Aravi, Kondvil & Divegar beaches.
- Tapped hot water system was non-existing at this place. If one required hot water for bath, one had to collect it in a bucket from an ancient wood-burning steel boiler kept outside in the open common space. On suggesting to the owner regarding installing electric water boilers in rooms, his reasoning was simple. He had ample wood waste accruing from the orchard adjacent to the hotel, therefore it was more economical for him to use the wood burning boiler than pay for electricity for water boilers as well as for getting rid of the wood waste. Well, I do feel he has a valid point there.
- After bath I dressed and left for the day. I wanted to see the inside of Janjira Island Fort so I initially retraced my route but later diverted to take the more scenic roads adjacent to the beaches. Aravi and Kondvil beaches are mind-blowing. There is not a soul in sight on these beaches probably due to the fact that they are not having any towns adjoining them. Pristine sand mile after mile with a few restaurants nestling in small niches. I stopped at one and asked if they had any fish cooked and ready, he replied that he will cook fresh for me if I ordered him.
- Moving further, I came across a fishing village called Bharatkot. The boats had come in and the catch had just been off-loaded, as I could see fisherwomen carrying baskets laden with small fish coming up the steep slope from where the boats were grounded.
- From Bharatkot, a short ride later, I reached Diveagar and instead of heading for the beach I went to see the famous Suvarna Ganesh Temple (Golden Ganesha). When I reached there the temple was under renovation and is expected to be completed in about a year. The Idol is not kept there as it had been stolen. So the story goes, that on the second night after Guddipadva festival two years ago, 2 persons from Ahmadnagar came in the night and climbed into the temple from the roof. They had previously cased the place and were aware of the dangers. They saw 2 guards inside the temple and killed them. They then stole the idol and took it with them. The police and investigators found pieces of the idol with some jewellers. The idol was cut in several pieces to escape identification. It has now been commissioned to be remade identical to the old idol. On completion, it will be reinstated in the temple.
- In about another 15 Kms. I reached Dighi and after a little wait, I got onto a motor launch going to Janjira Fort. The launch charge was Rs. 60/ to and fro. There was a group of students from Pune along with their teachers on the boat, on an excursion from the school. When we reached the fort entrance, we were transferred onto a shallow draft sailing vessel in order to reach the fort entrance as the depth was not enough. On entering the fort, I was pestered by some locals to hire their services as guide. After a lot of bargaining, managed to bring them down from Rs. 500/- to Rs. 100. The guide service was worth it as there were many things which one could have missed out.
- The return journey to Shrivardhan was uneventful, and after visiting a hotel called Atharva where I dined on Surmai (king fish) thali, I called it a day and retired to bed
DAY 3: 15-01-2015 at Shrivardhan
Distance travelled: 60.2 Kms.
Route: Shrivardhan
to Harihareshwar and back via Vave tarf Shrivardhan & Bagmandale ferry boat
jetty.
- Today, I turned southward towards Harihareshwar, the temple town, sometimes known as Dakshin Kashi. The temple is situated on the Harhareshwar beach, behind a small hillock. The approach lane is lined with shops selling the usual fare of trinkets, clothes, toys, etc. The main entrance is under renovation. Inside I found a group of priests sitting in a row and chanting some verses. I passed them and went towards the beachside. There was a pathway leading up the hillock and I followed the same to the top. The view of the beach was very good from this vantage point. The descent, on the opposite side, was very steep and opening directly onto a rocky slippery shoreline. I traversed the rocks carefully between pools of sea water and greenish algae growth till I rounded the curve and was back at the original temple shoreline. I refreshed myself with some coconut water and then left Harihareshwar.
- On the way back to Shrivardhan, since it was already time for lunch, I visited a place which was offering a local home-cooked meal. There are several of these places that would offer home-cooked meals, mutton, chicken, fish, prawns, etc., depending on availability. These meals are freshly made by the ladies of the house and served to the guests at very nominal prices.
- After lunch, as there was little else left to visit, I made my way back for a rare afternoon nap.
- As usual, made my way to the beach for my evening walk at 1730 hrs till 1900 hrs.
- Went to Atharva Restaurant for dinner and had prawns curry rice.
- Returned to the hotel and after a brief conversation with the owners, retired to bed.
DAY 4: 16-01-2015
Shrivardhan to Ganpati Phule. Mostly via MSH 4.
Distance Travelled: 186.5 Kms.
Route: a) Shrivardhan to Bagmandale ferry
boat jetty = 26 Kms. b) Bagmandale ferry boat jetty to Vesvi ferry boat jetty =
1 Km. c) Vesvi ferry boat jetty to Dabhol ferry boat jetty via Kelshi village,
Harnai beach and Dapoli = 88 Kms. d) Dabhol ferry boat jetty to Dhopve ferry boat jetty = 1 Km. e) Dhopve
ferry boat jetty to Tavasal ferry boat jetty via Anjanwel and Guhagarh = 48
Kms. f) Tavasal ferry boat jetty to Jaigad ferry boat jetty = 2.5 Kms. g) Jaigad
ferry boat jetty to Ganpatipule = 20 Kms. 
- After completing the daily morning routine, left Shrivardhan at 0830 hrs and took the Shrivardhan – Harihareshwar road. Crossed Harihareshwar in a half hour and proceeded on to the ferry boat jetty at Bagmandale. Took the (jungle jetty) ferry, after a short wait, to the opposite shore of Vesvi.
- At Vesvi, took the internal roads towards Kelshi village. Had the usual breakfast enroute of vada-pav at a roadside stall at Kelshi village.
- Along this road I passed many picturesque and scenic spots, some of them are reproduced below in the photographs, albeit full justice to the beauty of nature could not be reproduced.
- I reached the Dhabol - Dhopve ferry station quite early via Dapoli and crossed after waiting for almost an hour for the ferry boat to arrive.
- Dapoli is a very busy town with a lot of traffic in the market areas which I cleared as quickly as practicable and again resumed riding on the M SH 4.
- After crossing over to the Dhopve side, I passed by the controversial Enron Power Plant, which is partially functioning.
- Due to a smooth ride I reached my destination, Guhagarh, very early, at 1445 hrs, therefore I decide to have lunch and push on further South and reach Ganpatipule. Lunch was at a restaurant called Annapurna consisting of a pomfret Rice Plate.
- The third ferry crossing of the day came up smoothly enough but had to wait again for about half an hour to cross.
- The onward journey upto Ganpatipule was routine and I reached there by about 1730 hrs.
- Tried for a room at a few guest houses on the main highway but they were all booked or were over-priced (remember, I was on a budget tour and needed accommodation in the Rs.500 to Rs.1000 range). On inquiry, I was told to try the Atithi Guest House which was off the main road. I found a room there for Rs. 500/- and after a long hard ride got the much needed facility to refresh myself.
- I was hungry and went to find a restaurant serving non-vegetarian fare. I found some at the Samir further uphill on the main road. I ordered for a chicken thali for a change The usual fish rice plate was becoming too common and also I was expecting to have more fresh fish at my next destination. The chicken preparations were delicious. They had mock dishes made of ‘plaster of Paris’ (POP) on display similar to the ones made of wax in Japan.
- After the sumptuous meal, I went for a walk towards the famous Ganpatipule temple. Being an odd hour, there was hardly anyone visiting and I had a free run of the premises. After the usual security checks, I went into the main chamber where the deity was housed and a few moments later came away.
- Returned back to the hotel room and watched some news on the television, and went to sleep. At about 0130 hrs got up with griping pain in the stomach and had to rush to the washroom. Probably a reaction to something disagreeable I ate at Samir’s. Took some tablets to settle the stomach and by morning was much better.
DAY 5: 17-01-2015
Ganpati Phule to Talashil beach, Tondavili (Malvan). Mostly via MSH 4.
Distance Travelled: 215 Kms.
Route: a) Ganpatipule to Talashil
beach, Tondavili, via Ratnagiri, Rajapur, Kankauli, Malvan and Kolamb.
- Departed Ganpatipule at 0830 hrs. I was running a little low on Petrol therefore, the first chance I got was at Shirgaon, just before Ratnagiri, I filled up the full tank
- Today was the longest distance to be covered yet, therefore, did not waste time for any breakfast or lunch, especially as I was feeling a bit queasy in the stomach. I planned to have an early dinner after reaching my intended destination.
- After crossing the main Ratnagiri market place which was very crowded with narrow lanes, I reached the outskirts on the other side and kept following MSH 4. I continued onto the MH SH 269 till Rajapur. At Rajapur turned right onto the NH 17 and followed it upto Kasal, going past Kankauli which was again very crowded.
- At Kasal, turned right onto the SH 118 upto Malvan, where I turned north onto the MSH 4 till the Tondavili turn off. I had to ask around for the resort as it was not very well known.
- Reached Talashil beach, Tondavili at about 1630 hrs.
DAY 6: 18-01-2015
At Talashil beach, Tondavili (Malvan).
- On reaching Talashil, I was quite famished, as I had skipped breakfast and dinner due to the queasy stomach. I asked the resort owner Sanjay Keluskar, if he could make me something special, a khichdi (a preparation of rice and dal mixed together with a few spices). He willingly obliged without any hesitation whatsoever.
- I went onto the front side of the resort where there was a reserved picnic area with plastic chairs and tables and covered with colourful awnings. This area led onto the beach.
- The beach was completely deserted with not a soul in sight. I could see an island lying just off the mainland, probably a mile or so away. It was a beautiful sight.
- After a short stroll on the sands in front, I sauntered towards the back of the resort and again found a picturesque sight. A small river was flowing lazily past the shores. This was the river Gad. A lovely sight for my sore city eyes.
- With a scenario like this, the only option was to enjoy it to the fullest. I decided to laze it out the next day, without stepping out from the area and a regime of total relaxation was chalked out for that day as follows:-
Wake up late, anytime after 0800 hrs.
Have a leisurely breakfast.
Leave for the beach.
Return from beach and have lunch in the picnic area.
After a while dose off on one of the hammocks set up around the place.
Awaken to a cup of hot tea at about 1600 hrs.
Go for a long walk on the beach.
Return and have an early dinner.
Check the news on TV.
Go to bed.
- The next day, after having recovered from the day's rest, I was out on my Activa again, going to Malvan for scuba
diving.
DAY 7: 19-01-2015 At Talashil beach, Tondavili (Malvan).
Distance Travelled: 176 Kms.
Route: a) From Talashil beach to Malvan to Sindhudurg Fort to Teracol (Goa), & back to Talashil beach.
- This day in Malvan, I had decided to go scuba diving. I inquired with the hotel owner Sanjay, who said he will arrange it for me. He gave me a name and telephone number of a person who was involved with scuba diving operations. On telephoning him, I was told to meet him at a certain point called Pimple Park in Malvan town. I reached Pimple Park in about forty-five minutes, and met him. He took me to the assembly point from where the persons desiring to dive were taken to the boats. We had to wait for an hour or so prior being taken to the diving boat. There were four of us who were going to dive and all were waiting with suppressed excitement about the prospect of diving.
- We got into a motor launch equipped with an air compressor and compressed air pipelines leading to mouth-pieces at the extreme ends.
- Since we were all first-timers, we were given a tutoring on the do’s and don’ts of scuba diving. The modus operandi was to take each person alone with a professional diver, on a one-on-one basis, a video and a few still pictures would be taken during the dive.
- Meanwhile the boat was navigated through shoals and reached near the walls of the Sindhudurg Fort. The depth we were told was about 10 feet. On looking overside we could spot the seabed.
- The others were a family of four, from which the father, son and daughter were diving and I was the fourth in line. I soon got my turn to go into the water.
- Lead pieces strung on a rope were tied to the waist on top of the under shirt, to prevent scraping the bare skin. The mask was worn over the nose and eyes, the mouth-piece then inserted and adjusted for comfort and after which I was told to step into a life-buoy (ring) from the step ladder at the side of the boat. I was then towed, by the professional diver accompanying us, to a certain point and was told to release the buoy by slipping the head and hands through. Thus floating free, he guided my body over some live corals. He then planted my feet in a space between the corals, on the seabed, and placed my hands on the coral itself. As one settled into position, small colourful fish swam in front and between the coral. It was a wonderful sight. After a few minutes, he took me to another point and took out a video clip of me swimming underwater. A few minutes later we, came to the surface and got onto the boat. It was an exhilarating experience. The next time I would like to dive free with tanks strapped to my back, instead of being tethered by the air cables to a boat.
- After all of us had dived, the anchors were lifted and the boat commenced its voyage to the jetty. When it was getting closer to the Sindhudurg Fort jetty, the boat went aground at its mid-ship section. Try what may, it just would not dislodge. We tried shifting our body-weights forwards or aft wards but to no avail. It was stuck fast. With the tide running out, the boat crew, leaving one man for the engines, were down in the water, trying to lift it up over the rocks. Another boat of the same company, came along, but could not approach close enough for towing us, so the other boat crew swam to us and with the combined manpower managed to pry our boat loose. We got underway immediately and reached shore without any further incident.
- We reached ashore at about 1415 hrs and proceeded to the assembly point. Here we got our videos and stills transferred onto our pen-drives, mobiles, or SD cards. They were also ready to give them on a CD.
- I left the assembly point at exactly 1430 hrs and proceeded towards the Goa border. This was just an academic exercise, so to say, to tick the box on the check-list that the vehicle and I had reached Goa. At Tiracol, I visited a liquor store and bought some port wine and a pint of Vodka. I returned back to Talashil beach, Malvan at around 1830 hrs. A hard ride of 176 Kms. completed.
DAY 8: 20-01-2015
Talashil beach, Tondavili (Malvan) to Mangaon. via MH SH 4,
Distance Travelled: 347 Kms.
Route: Talashil beach, Tondavili
(Malvan) to Jamsande to Taral to Rajapur to Lanja to Hathkhamba to Chiplun to
Mahad to Mangaon.
- I left Malvan at 0730 hrs, a little early, as I wanted to cover up the large distance of 347 Kms during the day. I had to meet someone at Manded 39 Kms away, on the next day. I started off on the MSH 4 and continued on to the Achra-Devgad road turning left at Dabhole and moving onto the MSH 4 again, past Jamsande, and on reaching Padel turned onto the Rajapur road. After passing Vagothane River turned right, onto MDR 61 till I eventually reached Taral and filled up much needed petrol. I continued on the Upale road till reaching SH 113 and turned right on it to reach the Prindawan road which in turn led me to the main Mumbai-Goa Highway the NH 17.
- I turned left onto the NH 17 and followed this Highway which is also called the Epidally – Panvel Highway. I went past Rajapur, Lanja, Hathkhamba,
- Turning right
onto the NH 66 soon brought me to Sawarde, Chiplun, Khed, Mahad and finally
Mangaon. I reached Mangaon at 1600 hrs.
This was the longest ride I have undertaken on the Activa – 347 Kms. indeed.
- I usually stay at a budget guest house called Hotel Ganesh Palace whose owner is quite friendly and helpful. The tariff here was Rs. 500/- for a non A/C room.
- There is a bar at this hotel which is quite popular in Mangaon and even on odd working days it is frequented by the locals. I had a quiet dinner consisting of chicken and retired early to bed.
DAY 9: 21-01-2015 Mangaon to Mumbai. via various internal roads,
Distance Travelled: 177 Kms.
Route: Mangaon to Tala to Manded to Roha to
Alibaug to Rewas to Bhaucha Dhakka to Versova.- Started from Mangaon at about 1000 hrs and passed Tala. I was to reach Manded at 1100 hrs to meet someone. After reaching the Manded and completing the work I had come for, I rode towards Roha and then to Alibaug and Rewas ferry boat jetty. Returning after 9 days of travel.
- Got the ferry from Rewas bunder at 1445 hrs and sailed out with the scooter loaded on the top deck as is the usual practice.
- Landed at Bhaucha Dhakka (Ferry Wharf) at about 1600 hrs and returned home via familiar Mumbai roads through Mazagaon, Byculla, Dharavi, Western Express Highway, and Andheri to Versova, reaching home at 1715 hrs.
- An end to an adventurous challenge that I had taken upon myself to make this journey by road on a Honda Activa scooter. The pleasure of riding on this vehicle was great and very satisfying.
“Yeh toh trailer tha, picture abhi baaki hai!”
(“This was only the trailer, the movie is yet to come”)
I am already planning my next Activa scooter trip to Kanyakumari (the southern-most tip of India) via the central highways (am familiar with coastal Kerala from my previous visits by ship and trains) I plan to pass through many of the wildlife sanctuaries of South India and back up
the East coast through Pondicherry, Nellore, Vijaywada, Hydrabad-Secundrabad
and back to Mumbai. A TRIP OF OVER 4000 Kms.
Anyone interested in coming
with me?
