destination, Harihareshwar. After breakfast, we would cycle up to Murudvia Nandgaon. At Murud we would visit the famous and formidable Janjira Fort. The route would be mostly flat, flanked by the sea on one side.

Then we would cycle to the temple town of Harihareshwar via Shrivardhan. On the way, we would visit Ganesh temple at Diveagar, which has the Ganesh idol made of gold. At Harihareshwar we would stay in a simple guesthouse.

Then after lunch, we would cycle along the coast on the beautiful stretch of road to Ratnagiri. As we would trail the paths of Ratnagiri, we would notice how fertile the town is; Mango orchards, rice fields, coconut &cashew stands make the topography lush and therapeutic. 
We would cross Ratnagiri and move towards Bhatye beach and then climb to the plateau which would take us to the small but very quiet village of Pawas. Overnight stay in a guesthouse.

The water is pretty clear here and one could see corals and colourful marine life near the edge of the Sindhudurg fort. Malvan is very famous for its coastal cuisine and natural beauty, as it sits on the edge of the Arabian Sea. We would move ahead to Devbag to have Dinner.
