Kashid - A scenic beach in Konkan, Western Maharashtra

The entire konkan stretch of western coastal Maharashtra is full of natural beauty. Its a thick green stretch, with number of untouched clean beaches and superb roads to reach out. Though the train connectivity is not that good but at least Konkan Railways' arrival ensured that this area is no more inaccessible.

Kashid is one of the best beach in may ratings , in this region. The reasons why I am calling it best is White sand, blue seas, green mountains, paddy fields, and rivulets. Kashid has a 3 km stretch of beach with the cleanest, whitest sand and Casuarina groves that make just the perfect setting for a beach holiday. Also close to Kashid are Famous Murud and Janjira.

Murud is an old fisherman town with one very nice beach...with calm water and Janjira is a famous fort in the middle of the sea near Murud. The setting for the fort is perfect for any film shooting.

Yo! We were thinking of a pre-monsoon trek and the destination finalized: Dhangad [Ghangad!].

... the team managed to gather at Pune station at 6am and catched the local to Lonavala. The route is simple:
Pune Station -> Lonavala -> Sahara Valley -> Amabavane -> and Bhambarde.

Reached the base village at 10am and started climbing...! The trek is really simple except the final rock climb which you need to climb with somebody technical/ experienced.

The view from the top is awesome! One can view Telbaila and surrounding forts like Sarasgad!

Avoid this trek during this season [monsoon!].
