Detail InformationEdit
Marleshwar Waterfall say the most beautiful things are hidden in plain sight, and so is a place of a thousand waterfalls – Marleshwar in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Hidden in the Sahyadri, Marleshwar is just 75km away from one of the most famous beach temples, Ganapatipule. A place deep in the forest with no mobile network, and hardly touched by the symbols of modern civilization, Ganapatipule is home to the beautiful Dhareshwar waterfall. Nly a poet can do justice in describing the overflowing streams, the flooded little bridges, misty cover, thick forests and the curvy roads leading to Sahyadri. The landscape which I saw from Devrukh to Maraleshwar was like a song of nature. Mist filled air hits you giving you that fresh smell you crave for in the cities, some drizzle from outside the window that just doesn’t allow you to close the window, chitter chatter of kids, laughing and fighting, living in their own world, and lots of happy faces around. It was such a pleasure to run away from the agenda driven, self obsessed world of the city to nothingness of Marleshwar.
