Harihareshwar

Maharashtra · 4h drive · 4.2

Called the 'Dakshin Kashi' (Southern Kashi) of Maharashtra, Harihareshwar sits where the Savitri river meets the Arabian Sea. The ancient Shiva temple on a promontory, four black-sand beaches, and almost zero tourist crowds make this one of Konkan's best-kept secrets. Combine with Shrivardhan (14 km) and Diveagar (30 km) for a perfect coastal circuit.
