Personal Experience
I was enjoying my Konkan region trip in my Village named Apaiwadi, Munge for 4 days, Sindhudurg fort was in my plan list, so the day came on which I was going to Sindhudurg fort I started my journey from the Village known as Munge village, I had company of my Younger brother Nirav we had to catch St bus from the Village High School known as Bhagwati High School at 8:30, it took 45 mins to reach near the Malvan market.
After reaching in market we have to still walk for 10 mins to reach Malvan beach, that’s not the actual place to visit to enter the fort, still one transport to go which is from boat, in few years Tourism of Malvan is well organized by transport, Hotels and water sports it is always a trend mark for fresh seafood but now when is saw after many years it was totally changed, big ferry’s was established to reach the fort with proper timings and safety.
Tickets cost around INR 180 for 2 of us which means INR 90 Per person, it was also a return ticket but in return journey you can catch any boat that is available at the Spot. After deboarding the boat it’s time to enter the Fort the feeling of entering the fort was amazing the entrance way was made in such a way that the enemies will be noticed immediately by the Martha’s watchgaurds without letting enemies know. Before entering the gate there is a temple of Hanuman known for the blessing of power.
Just after stepping inside the fort there is a Fort Map to get an idea of the route, fort has many indoor stores with proper food to eat like Chinese, seafood etc so there is no problem.of starvation nor of getting thirsty, you might be getting worried about the highly sweat making sun ray’s but there is a solution you will also find hat and clothes stores inside the fort, this fort has total of 12 points to be watched for that there is price, after walking for 10 mins a small ticket counter is placed where you can buy ticket to watch all the fort attractions.
One amazing creation made by the Maratha engineer’s in Finding the fresh water stream in between the island which is surrounded by salty sea water which is preety amazing, in the period of 1667 many people leaved inside the fort depending on the basic necessities like water and farming more than 15 fresh water wells was made buy the locals for the survival’s.
It was too hot 🔥 that day, thanks to my brother he advised me to wear sleeveless t-shirt on top which really helped that time, beacause you have to roam the entire fort which doesn’t have any covering on top, the last attraction was a museum which was too good, even getting inside to have to pay charge with was INR 5.
we spendes 2 and half hour completing all the attractions. While leaving the fort we decided to have lunch inside the fort stall but the price was high as compared to the hotels at the market so we skipped the plan of lunch and reached at the boat station,
