Hi! Iam Hatim.
We always go to beaches in Konkon. The beaches are clean and beautiful. Murud - Janjeera , is the the best beach and Ganpatiphule near Ratnagari is the Maditarian of Konkan.

Two of the most beautiful beach and yet unknown beaches are one of Devgad.....this is a very small beach.....but a picture perfect beach....Tucked away in a small corner of the Devgad fort.

and Other is the Anjarle beach....I just love the entire place ...it is again picture perfect and tailor made for the word idyllic

Since MTDC is fully booked for 26 th Jan, would like to know more details about Gajanan Guest house before booking the same.
I have few queries if any one can provide the answer it would be of great help to me.
1] Is it right on the beach with direct beach access like MTDC.
2] Are the rooms with attached bath ? Are the rooms & bath room clean ?
3] What is the tariff per night ?

Thanks

Ronak.

Konkan Beach Pictures

Hi,
Some pics of the konkan beaches i visited.

http://amitkulkarni.info/pics/konkan-pictures/

Ganpatipule has most hotels
Velneshwar is beautiful and there i one MTDC resort

hedvi and others wont have any accomodation as such i believe

Tarkarli is again beautiful.

palolem, south of goa is nice but has become too touristy

then there is harihareshwar

In Malvan there is a very good restaurant call Saiba. Excellent fish.

Overnight at Hotel Shrisagar in Ganpatipule tel (02357) 235145, 235345 because MTDC was full.

hi in malvan there is a restaurant called chaitanya.... great food....

Out of Murudh, Ganpatipule and Tarkali the best one is Tarkali beach. MTDC is the best bet and try and get a cottage.... the only problem with Tarkali is the day when the Deccan Odyssey stops... all residents tend to get ignored for a good couple of hours - the entire resort staff is at the beck and call of that tour group.......the MTDC resport in Tarkali as such does not serve beer but they got that out along with their best china when the Odyssey arrived.... pretty irritating if you ask me...but then we managed to sneak in a few beers ourselves as well.
