location in maharashtra

does anyone know the location of a town called Karanjadi in maharashtra.

i think it is close to the 'highway' 17 near the town of Poladpur (26 km west of Mahabaleshwar).

i need to know its proximity to Poladpur, it should be close to it but i cant find it on any maps.

i have already tried mapsofindia.com (website, i have not got cd-rom)

i have also tried Nelles western india map and also tried lonely planets india and bangladesh road atlas.

i have even tried http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/india/250k.html
click on NE 43 9 jpq, then go to top right corner of map for the right area)

i think my only chance is someone who knows the area.

thanks in advance.

It is indeed a stop on the 'Ratnagiri-Dadar' Passenger train .
It's where the Natuwadi tunnel (on the Konkan Railway) is situated, which is 3.5km long between Karanjadi and Diwan Khauti.


You can find more details on this link :

Thanks for the replies, I think I should have put more thought into the question.

I would like to know the location in relation to Poladpur, as I am looking for an easy way from Mahabaleshwar to Pernem.

The road from Mahabaleshwar hits highway 17 at Poladpur and I would like to know how to get from there to Karanjadi train station, there is a train going south at 10:13 so it would not leave a lot of time to investigate localy.

Any info would be most welcome.

Steven,
it would be much easier if you take a bus from Poladpur to Khed or Chiplun. You will be able to catch most of Exp/Mail trains from Khed/Chiplun. There are State Transport buses plying between all around the clock and the travel will take 30-60 minutes at the most.
Karanjadi is just a small halt where only the couple of Passenger trains stop like Dadar-Madgaon, Diva-Sawantwadi, Dadar-Ratnagiri, etc. If you insists on traveling by train only then checkout the useful website for trains in Konkan route
http://www.konkanrailway.com and click on "Current Train Positions" for the live train positions and expected arrival times.
Hope this helps

Anindya
