ALIBAUG

Package Description:
A small, idyllic town on the narrow strip of the Arabian Sea, at the southern tip of Mumbai, is fringed with tall coconut trees and golden sandy beaches lapped by the ocean. Apart from the quaint village houses, it also has farm houses. Nearly 300 years old, Alibaug was founded in the 17th century by Sarkhel Kanhoji Angre, a naval chief of Shivaji s kingdom. A weekend getaway and a popular business centre today, Alibaug is frequented by affluent Mumbaiites, mostly to enjoy the beauty of the sea. Palm fringed beaches, lush mango orchards, chikoo-wadis and paddy fields make Alibaug a pleasantly verdant and unpolluted retreat. Alibaug is particularly beautiful during the monsoons, with rain washed trees and the goodly smell of wet earth making you wish you could stay here forever. For those on their honeymoon, nothing can be more romantic than Alibaug in the rains.
