As every year, this year also I couldn’t plan the year end long vacation for my family. But I managed to arrange a quick trip along with my wife. We decided to visit Alibaug which is just 3-4 hours drive from Mumbai or 1 hour ferry ride away from Gateway of India till Mandwa harbour or 1.5 hours from Baucha Dakka harbour near Dockyard Road till Rewas harbour. From both the harbours, further one hour bus or auto-rickshaw journey is required to reach Alibaug. Well, this was really quick one, we finalised the ferry mode so that our kids could enjoy the ferry ride. Our journey began from the Gateway of India.
Alibaug is a small town in Raigad district of Maharashtra, India. This town is located in western coast with beaches spread across its area. There are some well known and most visited beaches such as Alibaug Beach, Kihim Beach, Akshi Beach, Thal Beach, Kashid Beach, Nagaon Beach and Revdanda Beach. The main attractions are Kolaba Fort, Agarkot Fort and Korlai Fort. The Birla temple of Salav village is also closer from Alibaug, apWe were on the way to Alibaug beach in an auto rickshaw after reaching Alibaug. The same auto rickshaw driver claimed to be a tourist guide, who offered us a package to take us around Alibaug Beach including Kolaba Fort, Agarkot Fort, Revdanda Beach, Museum of Blue whale skeleton and Birla temple in just Rs. 1000. Auto rickshaw driver offering tourist guide service in Alibaug, this was something new for us and worth a try. We agreed, as the package was attractive. Here is a quick snapshot of the places we visited in Alibaug.
Alibaug Beach is close to Alibaug bus stand. You can take a auto-rickshaw or take a walk to reach the beach. There are lot of water sports facilities available apart from regular horse and camel rides as well as tonga rides.If you’re feeling hungry, you can have a quick bite at various food stalls available near the beach. Sunset from this beach looks beautiful as it appears in a background of Kolaba Fort.proximately around 22 kms.
Kolaba Fort is in amidst of water reachable from Alibaug beach through a boat ride during high tide and during the low tide you can take a walk or hire a tonga to reach the fort. It’s a historic fort built by maratha warrior the Shri Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to protect western coastal area from mughals, british ships and other foreign invaders. There is a beautiful Ganesh temple on the fort.
