Visited Sindhudurg fort, 27 March 2024

We woke up early and had breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast was the same as yesterday, but this time we had tea. We had decided to go out and explore the remaining places. Well, there are lots of places to visit in Malvan. We went to the beach to reach Sindhudurg Fort by jetty.

However, the jetty started when all the seats were full. The jetty cost us almost 140rs for two people. It took us almost 10-15 minutes to reach the fort, and from there, they told us that we would have one hour to roam around and come back to the jetty. As we went inside, there was one more ticket counter charging 5rs per person for entry to the fort. Later, we tried kaju sarbat for the first time, but it tasted more like lemon and amla. The fort is very big and is located between the beach. We walked on the walls of the fort and heard the sound of water touching the fort; it was an overall good experience, but the heat was overwhelming. There are temples as well as many shops to grab snacks inside the fort. Once our tour was done, the jetty dropped us back at the beach, and we went back to the hotel as we were tired from the sun. In the afternoon, we had lunch at the hotel itself, rested for a while, and then went to the rock garden.

The rock garden was pretty, and although there was a ticket counter, the cleanliness inside was really good, so the money was worth it. We took lots of photos and then went to Rajkot Fort, which is nearby the rock garden. Rajkot Fort was kind of small, or maybe it's broken now. It had a very big statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and also had a Lord Shiva temple.

Later, as we were going back, we saw Ganesh Mandir. We went there, spent some time, and then went back to the hotel, and our day ended here.

Finally, we are in Malvan 25 march 2024

Early in the morning, we reached Kolhapur around 5:30-5:45 am and went to the bus station, catching the first bus to Malvan at 6:30. The distance from the railway station to the bus station is only about 1.5 km, but the auto driver charged us 40 rupees because it was morning. Actually, the bus was scheduled for 6 am, but it got delayed reaching the Kolhapur bus station, so we had no choice but to wait. We arrived in Malvan around 11:30 am. We had pre-booked Hotel Aishwarya for 4 nights, which cost us only 7500 rupees, including breakfast. Since our check-in was at 12, we waited in the lobby, where they served us refreshments and a welcome drink, kokum sarbat. After checking in, the first thing we did was freshen up and get ready for lunch, as it was already 1 o'clock. We quickly rented a bike and headed to a nearby restaurant, Hotel Chaitanya, known for its seafood and also serving vegetarian thali. So, we ordered two Vegetarian thali's. However, the service was so slow that we...

Had very bad experience at Tien restaurant

Visited Tien yesterday, which is an Asian restaurant. The menu was good, with a lot of options to try from. After looking through the menu, we ordered crispy edamame rolls, a grilled three-cheese sandwich, spicy miso ramen (vegan), and coconut panna cotta. Unfortunately, the only thing we liked was the cheese inside the sandwich. However, the cheese was only mozzarella, even though they had mentioned three types of cheese. The ramen portion was very small considering the cost. The rolls we received were only two cut in the half. The dessert, the coconut panna cotta, was tasteless. There was literally no taste at all. All we did was waste our money. These 4 items cost us 1716rs. Not to be mean or rude, but its not worth the money. Try it at your own risk. I wouldn't recommend it. Food Tried- Crispy Edamame Rolls Grilled Three Cheese Sandwich Spicy Miso Ramen Coconut Panna Cotta Rating- 2/5 Location- 1, Rajas Garden Apartments, Pawar Rd, opposite Hanuman Te...

Going back home, 30 March 2024

We woke up around 8 as we had a bus to Pune around 9-10, but we couldn't take the AC buses due to my cough, which made me feel sad for Bubbles. We had complimentary breakfast at the hotel, which included options like bread with butter and jam, poha, khichadi, and tea/coffee. Since I had a cough, I didn't eat anything but had some hot water instead. After breakfast, we checked out and went to the bus stand, where we found many buses heading to Pune. We slept for most of the journey and reached Pune around 4pm. After reaching home, we didn't do much except sleep. Xoxo 💓 Gujjugirl
