Tarkarli: A perfect beach destination for winters....you can also enjoy fog here :)

I wanted to go to Tarkarli for long , a beautiful coastal village situated on Arabian sea in Maharashtra. Then finally I packed my bags during my winter holidays and got ready to explore something extra ordinary.

White sandy beaches , cool breeze and delicious food , what I was expecting ... just like any other coastal village of Konkan but what I explored was really extra ordinary.

After my train journey I reached little late in the evening and checked-in, in MTDC's beach resort and I was welcomed with a hot cup of coffee and kanda Bajiya ( Fried snack made of pulse and onion) and beautiful sunset. After exploring the resort I ordered my simple dinner and soon went to bed as I was feeling little tired.

Next day I woke up early and decided to take a morning stroll and and what I witnessed .......the foggy beaches and serene but mysterious jungles behind and I felt like I am on a hill station. Virgin clean and cold beach......super cool breeze and pure air.....made my morning walk as one of the most healthy morning walk I ever had and could not stop myself taking lot of pictures.............I sat there for almost 3 hours and was ready to explore near by places........
