Trip,Track and Fun

Trip to Harihareshwar

The best time to visit is in the monsoon season.It is a great Getaway from maddening crowd of Mumbai .
We had already booked a Minibus from Mumbai.
Based in the district of Raigad ,you need to check out the serene and calmness of this place.It is better to do hotel reservation prior to your arrival.We had booked a bunglow.We had started at 8am and picked our friends on our way .The whole journey was spend in seeing the lush greenery around.By noon we reached Harihareshwar. Hungry we were ,ate our lunch .Mind you for vegetarians there is not much choice so be prepared for it.
We took some rest.Went to the Beach.We had carried with us football and other sport items.Took some snaps of the magnificient beauty of sunsetting .In the evening one of our friends knew tarrot reading so we spent some time looking into our future.In the night we had planned for camp fire.It started raining heavily so we rushed inside.And what do we see there was no electricity.We had to spend our night with one torch .Silence had to be broken so few of us decided to dance and sing around.Dont forget to get mosquito repllents.Next day we had kept for Temple visit.We took the Aarti plate outside Harihareshwar Temple in which there was this rare flower which was in the shape of Seshnag.Then we started our Pradakshina.I would suggest to be carefully while doing the Pradakshina as it is very slippery during the rains. we went to take lunch (searching a good restaurant is a daunting experience).Alas we found a little decent one.After having lunch we left for Mumbai with sweet memories.
