Jivdani Temple

Reviewed By letsgoaround - Mumbai, India

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.

Kalavantin Durg

Reviewed By rohansirsi - Pune District, India

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.

Tungareshwar Temple

Reviewed By hisandhercravings - Mumbai, India

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.

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.

Shirgaon Beach

Reviewed By Advaitraut - Palghar, India

What should I write about this place. Being my hometown i have spent countless evenings and enjoid countless sunsets here.. the beach is clean n very peaceful. The sunset here is just magical atleast for me.U cant get much here but peace. U ll find palm trees n coconut trees every were around . Shirgaon is also known for its delicious sea food . There is a fort situated near the beach which is built by chimaji appa if m not wrong was under the reign of our great king Shivaji maharaj.. The other place u have to visit is khamjai Mandir which is 15 mins walking distance from the beach. The most favoured place for accommodation is palghar city, or if u want to live nearby there's two resorts, the bhoj bunglow and nisarga u can have a stay there.. Being a homey i invite u all to visit the beautiful beach..

You can reach here by Auto or bus, the bus will drop you till down gate near the highway from there you have to climb upwards, but Auto will more Convenient and affordable because its drop you upwards till Bappa Sitaram Mandir which is the starting point of Tungareshwar way and takes 150rs fare from Vasai east station.from the starting point, you will come to another Gate which is an Entrance a few steps ahead..there you have to pay charges to enter 48rs for a single individual and for college students they provide discounts. from the point, it takes around 45-60 mins of walking distance to reach up till Shiv'ji temple. After Entering you will come across many beautiful attractions to explore small ponds, small lakes, and small waterfalls it's a complete forest tracking, exploring beautiful and overwhelming Greenary of nature, you can find Many Monkeys hanging on trees on your way to temple.It's a complete photography place so you can capture each and every moment on your way. once you visit on the top You can find Many foods and sweets Stalls run by locals.there is a small garden to rest and kids to play near Entrance,Shiv'ji Temple is a center of attraction its a very famous and old temple people from all over Mumbai especially come here to Worship lord Shiva,to the right side of Temple, there is a place where you can find this heavy force waterfall from the top of Huge Rocks looks amazing its the best place to refresh with outstanding view near the waterfall. the place is a bit slippery filled with different sizes of rocks so walk carefully while going near Waterfalls. The overall place was just awesome filled with Adventure and Nature trecking Experience with beautiful Attractions, will visit again next year.

Bassein Fort

Reviewed By Footprints727663

I went to Bassein Fort. Bassein Fort also known as Vasai Fort is an important sea fort located in Bassein, present day Vasai, at about 55-km from Mumbai. Built by Bahadur Shah, Sultan of Gujarat, it was initially one of a chain of forts intended to guard the coast against the Portuguese and the pirates. It is great place to go.
