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.

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.

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..

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.
