Today i visited jivdani temple, i took a 5.41am dahanu local from Dadar.Its good if you start early. It took exactly 1 hour to reach virar.From virar east outside station you get share auto to the temple for rs.10 inr per person. As you reach the base their is a ganesha temple. It's a custom to visit Ganesha whenever you start something good.To reach the temple you need to climb 1400 steps. it's bit tiring.I saw people climbing the steps on their knees to complete their religious vows also called "navas" in marathi and "mannat" in hindi language. Once you climb this 1400 steps you reach the temple.Its very relaxing over here.Once you come out on the exit you have mahakali and kalbhairav temple.Again need to get down this 1400 steps but here you don't feel the stress.As you get down you have some small time eateries to have something and quench your thirst.Even the temple trust runs a small time eatery which gives 2 dilis and chutney for INR Rs.5/-.Overall it's a must visit place which can be a Sunday outing in itself.

Had a great trek. This trek is easy actually than it looks. Started at midnight and climbed the hill around 6:30am. The view surrounding the place was awesome. Try to spot the Bollywood star Salman Khan's farmhouse, it's clearly visible.

I went to this place with my friends. It can be accessed from Sakwar village and you can get some local guides from the village itself. But we didn't took the help of the local guides. It took us around 3 hours to reach the top. You can enjoy beautiful scenery on the way up the mountain. Though the climb is not too challenging. It is advisable to carry good trekking shoes, enough water ( 4-5 litres) and food with you. Rainy season is the best time to do this trek. In some places there were arrows marked on the rocks to indicate the right way.

"Exploration is the essence of Human Spirit"....... Exploring Jawhar...... the Land of Waterfalls.....@ 6am at 10 degree..... cascading down from a height of 300 feet,.......... into a crater shaped bowl. The view of water rushing through dense forests and forming the waterfall is glorious! I visited this place in Jan 2019..... very easy to find..... just 5-10 kms away for town.... really beautiful.... one can down up to the waterfall basin.... there are some activities also there.... in rainy seasons it is very dangerous but the view is breathtaking....... there is a hotel located near to the waterfall..... best time to reach there is at the morning before sunrise or just around sunrise...... it best to take some food with you.... the way down is good as the steps are maintained but due to landslides, some parts are broken........ You can reach by car as well as a bike.... there is no entrance fees....

Tungareshwar is located at Vasai. One has to hire some vehicle or take a bus to reach this destination. There is approx 1-2hrs of trek to reach the temple. The forest is wide, dense & safe. The best time to visit is during Monsoons. But one has to be careful as the steps are sometimes slippery. There is also a waterfall on top. One can buy tea, coffee & other food items in between.

Dahanu Beach experience is no less than that of Goa! It's just 120km from Mumbai and best option for weekend break. We enjoyed our stay in Dahanu primarily because of beach activities. Most of our time was spent on beach... Collecting sea shells, bare foot walking on soft sand, enjoying waves, cool breeze and shadows from beach side trees. Kids enjoyed camel ride and horse buggy ride. There was sand bike also but we have not tried. Fellow travellers were enjoying cricket on beach which was also nice to join. Walking, cycling and just lying in beach made weekend break relaxing. It's not far from Mumbai, locals are cooperative and prices are reasonable which makes Dahanu good option for weekend break!

Exact replica of Shirdi. Do not forget to visit the Dwarkamai and Gurusthan and other places which are at the back side of the temple. You get lunch and dinner as well for a mere 40 Rs per person.
