Weekend Winter Trip to Diveagar Beach
23:39:00
Winter season is the best time to visit the beaches around Konkan, Maharashtra. So, we decided to visit Diveagar on the weekend of 08th November 2014 from Pune.
We started the journey from Pune at 7am from Wakad and travel
via Hinjewadi phase 3, Pirangut, Mulshi dam and Tamhini Ghat. After crossing
Tamhini MIDC we headed towards Mangaon on the Goa highway, then towards Mhasala
and finally to Diveagar (right turn after Mhasala village).
First day was spend in travel on the scenic coastal drives
from Diveagar to Harihareshwar and visited the famous Pradakshina Marg and visited
back to home-stay to enjoyed the group plays.
At last moment our driver refuse to put his traveller on the ferry and we have to carry on without the traveller, but after reaching Agardanda Jetty we found an ST bus which drop us 2 km before Janjira fort. After walking for 30mins we reached Murud Janjira Fort.
Diveagar is a small village on the konkan coastline and the beach is easily accessible from Pune therefore it is best weekend destination near Pune.

On the next day we visited Diveagar beach around 6 am to
enjoy the morning breeze and sunrise. Morning and evening is the best time to
visit the beach and enjoyed swimming as it was low tide.

Later around 10 am we enjoyed the yummy and unlimited breakfast
buffet at Exotica Beach resort, which is the closest and best place for
breakfast near Diveagar beach.
In afternoon we start for Murud-Janjira Fort from Dighi port
but due to weekend there was too many people who were planning to travel
towards Murud-Janjira Fort from Diveagar, so we were unable to get the ferry for
Janjira port.
And after suggestion from local people we came to know that
we can travel from Jungle Jetty to Murud-Janjira fort which will drop you to Agardanda Jetty in 15 mins only. It also had facility to carry your traveller, car and bus too ;). Jungle Jetty service is only available till 2.30 Pm only also the road condition near the Jetty is too horrible.
