Other Activities That One Can Indulge In

  • Warli Art Class at a local’s place.
  • Watch how pure ghee is prepared.
  • Buy Warli Art souvenirs!
  • Head to Dahanu beach, Umergaon beach or Chikhla beach.
  • Hike to Bahrot Caves – Known as the Zoroastrian or Parsi Cave Temples where the Parsis took refuge after escaping from Iran and stayed there for a period of 13 years! According to local belief they had also brought the “Iran Shan Flame” with them and took it to the caves where the fire can still be seen burning. A testament of Parsi faith in Ahura-Mazda (the Supreme Divinity of the Zoroastrian faith) Bahrot caves is just 8 kms from Bordi town and easily accessible.
  • Le Marcel Cafe & Bakery – DO NOT MISS THIS CAFÉ EXPERIENCE!! Although not a trained baker but I do know fresh baked items and how they should taste (in my head I have a taste palate like Marco Pierre White!). We bought a whole bunch of stuff – right from patisserie to cheesecakes to biscoffs, and NOTHING disappointed us! My husband who is extremely picky about coffee, simply LOVED the brew there. Hence you should not miss it. It is located on the Irani road, near Dahanu Station.

P.S. – Do not for a second think this a paid promotion! I am vocal about what I like and equally ruthless when the item does not live up to its hype!

Picture of SINCHITA

SINCHITA

An advocate of conservation of ecologically fragile spaces and conscious travel, storytelling wasn't always Sinchita's goal. It started as an escape, turned into a calling and eventually spread its wings. A banking stint, a teaching tenure, an environmental thesis - a bit of everything, only to realize that she is her best when she travels, interacting with locals, curates itineraries and thread the contributions of every element in the larger scheme of things through words and visuals.
