Murud Janjira

Description
Murud beach of Maharashtra is 165 km south of Mumbai, the capital
city of Maharashtra and the commercial city of India.
Murud in Maharashtra is a picturesque little silent fishing
village on the lush green western coast of Maharashtra, once
the capital of the former state of Janjira. Murud Janjira beach
in Maharashtra is the most spectacular beach island of Maharashtra
in India.
The untouched and unspoilt Murud Janjira beach Maharashtra is
located at the foot of the hills. This tranquil beach destination
is a vast expanse of sand stretching into miles, without a single
soul strolling around. There is a compelling force about its
bleakness, and a majesty about the waters.
Best Time to Visit
Murud has a coastal climate and can be visited at any time of
the year, avoiding the monsoons.
Activities
Get a dose of local history in Murud. Visit the palace of the
Siddhi Nawabs, the Janjira fort and the Janjira caves. The Arabian
Sea crashes relentlessly all around the fort, which lies 2 km
into the ocean at Murud. Built in the mid-16th century, the
Janjira fort was originally a wooden fortress built by the Murud
fishermen to protect their village from pirates. Burankhan,
the minister of the ruler of Ahmednagar, Nizamshah, later demolished
the fortress and built an impregnable stone fort in its place.
Janjira fort had a number of towers and turrets where huge guns
and cannons were kept in perpetual readiness to ward off enemies.
Shivaji, Sambhaji and the Peshwas tried, in turn, to take over
the fort, but the Marathas, British or Portuguese could never
capture Janjira.

restaurants and shacks where you can sample Konkan cuisine and
sit around absorbing local colour.
