Anyway we did manage to go this time on the 12th of Aprilhellipand it was just just divine. We went by the Mandovi Express From Mumbaiwhich takes around 10 hours to reach which I think is too long. Now of cour http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-267579.html We went to Tarkarli in the 1st. week of Jan. 2008. We took the road leading to Goa from BombayMumbai and turned right from Kasal aout 500kms from Bombay. 40 kms after the turn we reached Malwan. Tarkarli is 6kms from Malwan.The beach of Tarkarli is the best I have seen of all the beaches in India. It is a talcumpowderwhite sand beach giving a very soft feel.The water is deep blue as blue can http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-249995.html Tarkarli wasn't the easiest of places to get to. Off the beaten track as it were the little seaside city lay 150 km north of the everpopular Goa and made for a jaunting 5hour bus ride from Panaji. Set deep in the south of Maharashtra India's second most populous state Tarkarli and the adjoining village of Malvan are more geared towards Indian travellers and much less to foreigners. But they http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-245825.html Hi Everyone Hope everything is good at home...We are currently in Panaji Goa but we will ignore that and do a Goa blog in a weeks time as we want to tell you about the lovely beaches we have been to over the past week. Before we forget...Happy Birthday to Russ Hope you guys had a great day are you in Rome Sorry we tried to call but had difficulties finding a phone all closed on a sunday http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-242729.html Hi there were back again in Mumbai after a fantastic trip to the South of maharashtra all expertly organised by our travel consultant Wendy. We left Mumbai late at night from the awe inspiringly gothic Victoria Train station amazing on the outside but Wendy is appalled by the inside even though she didn't go to the mens room which almost made me throw up on entering. The trains are so well organi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-235413.html Finalmente Siamo in India da piu' di una settimana e questo e' il primo internet point che troviamo Ma non era la patria dei chip dei computer e via dicendo Ora siamo a Goa nella capitale Panajim e direi che ci siamo gia' abituati all'India nelle sue mille sfaccettature. E' vero che ne andiamo in cerca....o meglio abbiamo solo fatto trasporti in seconda classe non sempre per scelta nostr http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-226531.html I have been to a number of beach resorts in India as well as the South East Asia but there are few places which match the beauty of this place. Had been to this place in February 2005. Was travelling with a group of 10 friends. I was based out of Mumbai at then. We had to bunk respective office for a couple of days to make our escape.The journey wasn't so great. Had to take a train on the Konkan http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/India/Maharashtra/Tarkarli/blog-80624.html
