This was my first outdoor to Konkan with my family at GANPATIPULE - A ganesh mandir on the BEACH.....although the beach and water is DANGEROUS but the stay at MTDC and the ambience is worth the visit
The mandir has been used in various fim shooting and its very famous for the PRADAKSHINA...as the pradakshina - round on the idol is the walk around the mountain which you can see in the above PIC which is around 1-1.5kms walk with well constructed road for pradakshina.
Next most best thing is the STAY - i will strongly advise you to stay ONLY at MTDC Konkani Resort as they are again on the BEACH...
Not very luxury inside...but you are not on a business tour, its a picnic hence one can certinaly stay and move around places and its very much safe when inside...
Not many places to see...just relax by the beach - no noise pollution ...also try Hotel SAMEER for food - very tasty food and have plenty of SOLKADI too ...the view and picturesque location.
Now this is my one of favourite photograph....
Enjoy your stay and journey too...
If you have your own vehicle do go with it else take a train and get down at KUDAL rly station from where you can get an auto which charges Rs.350/- for 1.5hrs drive to Ganpatipule....Food is ok at MTDC and try Hotel Sameer too....also there is a Museum nearby - if you have time do else else fine...also there are tours from Hotel which include FORT visit and more...but if you have 2days then avoid all..
