Did the ALibag - Kashid stretch couple of weeks back..... 4 friends, 1 car, 1 camera and high spirits........ Amazing stretch from Mumbai, especially after Panvel....The roads were broad, it was pouring like there's no tomorrow and a night out.... Found this link damn useful http://www.travelguru.com/hotels/monsoon-holidays/lonavala.shtml
Alibag has lots of amazing places suited to every budget from 400 bucks/night to 4000 bucks /night resorts. Went to Kashid in the morning and spent the day in the sea and the rains..... Couldn't help but remember Coleridge's "RIme of the ancient Mariner" whith the now famous adage.... "Water, WAter everywhere"....
Visibility was restricted, and may have bordered on the brinks of riskiness, but overall it was one amazing and very memorable trip.... Total damage????Just 2000 bucks per head.. So what're u waiting for guys???? and gals of course(No fun without them).
