Around Shrivardhan

Kondivali beach in Shrivardhan is a very secluded cove and at one end of the beach is the Kalcha Jivana fishing port. Every evening auction of the catch happens here. Though not as huge an affair as that in Harnai the auction here is also an interesting event to witness. If you are the adventure seeker you can speak to the fisher men to take you along for fishing at night, its an absolutely exhilirating and humbling experiance at the same time!
