Tarkarli and Malvan
Tarkarli is a village in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. On the shores of the Arabian Sea, it’s known for the white sands and clear waters of Tarkarli Beach, a popular spot for water sports. Sindhudurg Fort, on an island just off the coast, was built in the 17th century by the Maratha rulers. To the south, the peaceful backwaters of the Karli River are lined with palm trees and inhabited by dolphins. Winter is the best season for visiting Tarkarli. The months from October to March is when Tarkarli becomes an ideal holiday destination. Monsoons can also be a favourable time for planning a trip, although the heavy rainfall might ruin your plans. Malvan in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state with culturally authentic cuisine and the infamous Sindhudurg Fort. The best things to do in Malvan include scuba diving in the relatively clear water that the place is famous for.
