 The
gorgeous beach village of Ganapatipule is located about 375
km from Mumbai and 25 km from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra. Here
lies one of the exotic beaches on the Konkan coast. The 6 km
long virgin beach with its pristine air, blue waters, golden
sands and the emerald pastures provide you a breathtaking and
spectacular view. Ganapatipule is also famous as an ancient
pilgrim center. It houses a Swayambhoo (a naturally formed idol)
of Ganapati.
A must see tourist spot here is the famous and picturesque Ganapatipule
temple dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The temple is located at the
foothills of the lush green Konkan hills and adjacent to the
amazingly beautiful Arabian Sea. Thousands of pilgrims from
all over India visit this holy temple every year and perform
Pradhikshina - a sacred ritual where pilgrims encircle the hill.
A perennial spring flowing down the hill to a pond beside the
temple provides you a scintillating view.
The exotic beaches flanked by stretches of scenery greatly enhance
the beauty of Ganapatipule. The unforgettable aroma of fruits,
flowers and mangroves gives your mind and soul a relaxing effect.
The backwaters here abound in brilliant blue fish, and the paddy
fields with the long legged, long beaked Sarus cranes. Here
you can enjoy boating for hours swaying palm trees and the jungles.
