Alibag - Kankeshwar Shiva Temple - The quest for peace.

The starting point towards Alibag Kankeshwar Shiva Temple, the village named Mapgaon / Mapgao.

More than 750 long steps towards the Kankeshwar Shiva Temple, Alibag.

Mist or Fog, actually these are the clouds, as we reach 1,200 ft above sea level. This scenic beauty will drive you mad.

The “Brahma Kund” with its awesome beauty, during heavy rains, the water level rises up to the doors, and sometimes overflows.

Our day started at 06:00 am, a 2hrs.-30min. journey in heavy rains. This trip started at 02:00 pm up till 05:30 pm. At night we went for a Crab-hunt from 08:30 pm to 01:00am, in the jungle.

This whole day was full of enjoyment!

Open this blog in Internet Explorer, where Alt-tags are visible, with the description of the images.

There are more than 200 beautiful photos of this amazing trip. I will post all those images with a storyline in my new upcoming blog “Dream Destination Alibag”
