Day I: 26th January
On Reaching Belgaum we headed right towards Amboli - A hill station in Maharashtra,
At a distance of 70 kms away from Belgaum.
This would set the tone for the trip ahead, it was to be trip that was far from the cliched Goa and Kerala.
The hillsides and valleys of Amboli along with the great food ('Malvani dishes') compelled us to make an overnight stay.
The highlights of our visit being
'HirenyaKeshi: The Cave Shrine'
'KavaleSaad: Valley point'
'Mahadev Gad: the sunset point'
Day II: 27th January
We took an early morning bus that took us 30 kms down the beautiful Amboli ghats to ‘Sawantwadi’ my native place.
We hired a cab to take us across to Malwan District to visit the serene
Lake Dhamapur for a boat ride.
From there went to
Fort Sindhudurg, which lies on an island 2 kms into the sea and can be reached only by boat!!
(So that made it 2 boat rides in a day, one on the lake and one in the Arabian Sea)
Spent the evening watching the sunset from Beach Tarkarli
Day III: 28th January
Visited
Redi Beach
Fort Tiracol in Goa
Ferry Across river tiracol
And sunset at Tiracol Beach
The best part about the trip most certainly was the peace of the countryside along with its pristine beaches, untouched by commercialization.
Tiracol Beach especially is indeed one of the last untouched and virgin beaches of Goa, its clear waters, beautiful sands and a great sunset made it a perfect climax to a great trip :D
Looking forward to more such trips ahead !!

That looks good cos that's only u guys there and it isnt a 'tourist' infected/ infested place.
Such are the places worth spending time on considering the time-crunch we all face.
The Tiracol Beach sunset picture is breathtaking!
