Dear Friends,
We at Trek O Phy, invites you for a trip to Explore the Unseen parts of Konkan region on 07 to 09 Feb 2014. Despite being flanked on both ends by two of India’s top urban centres, it’s laudable how the Konkan Coast manages to latch on to its virginal bounties. It is a picturesque strip of land peppered with postcard beaches, vivid green paddy fields, rolling hills and decaying forts. Travelling through this tropical backwater can be sheer bliss.

About the Destinations :
Sindhudurg Sea Fort:Fort built on Kurte Island by “Shivaji” the king of Maratha Empire in 1664. A harbor blocked with submerged bed of reefs delighted Shivaji to erect this fort. 3000 labors toiled very hard to complete it within 3 years. It is spread over 48 acres of land, outer walls 2 miles around the ramparts having 32 bastions. Within contains houses of natives, Shivaji’s temple, his finger and foot prints, shrines, wells and ruined structures.
Beaches & Islands :Most of the beaches & Islands are not yet truly discovered by the tourists and are far better than the so called popular beaches in India. We are giving you a quick reference of the beaches along the Konkan coast.
Dolphin Spotting :Konkan’s beaches are popular viewpoint for Spinner and Common Dolphins. They may be spotted any time of the day on the length of the shore. Their presence makes Konkani beaches real exotica on the west coast of India. Fishermen's traditional boats are always geared to make your close encounter with Dolphins.
