Guhagar

Bharat ek khoj types days

Day whatever of this trip, and a day by which we find ourselves halfway of where we were supposed to be, to make amends to which we're resigned to bus travel through the entire day. Even the original plan has now been revised - we learnt of coral reefs and scuba diving at Tarkarli, so instead of Goa, that is where we're now heading to. We go from Guhagar-Chiplun-Malavan; this is again a revised route from this morning's as we'd set out to Ratnagiri only to find the bus rolling out while we were busy with the Rasvada, Missile Pav, and tea. 1am being the time for the next bus, this was the best possible move instead of sitting lamenting at the bus station.

The bus ride is gonna take an entire day, with a switch involved at Chiplun. No clue of the kilometres involved. Presently we are moving away from the coastline, to rejoin it at the end of our day's journey, which means hotter climate and no oceanic aromas for the next 8 hours. in consultation with our prized new possession of a detailed region's map, it seems Chiplun would be a better deal for us since we should then be riding the big fast Mumbai-Goa highway until we again get off it some X km (X <=20) from Malvan.
