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.
