Kadyavarcha Ganapati, Anjarle
Anjarle’s Kadyavarcha Ganapati is one of the most famous and beloved temples in the Konkan region. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Arabian Sea, this ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesha and offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding hills, sea, and Anjarle beach.

It’s a perfect short drive from our homestay, ideal for a serene morning visit.
Keshavraj Temple, Asud
Tucked away in a dense forest near Asud village, Keshavraj Temple is a hidden gem dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The serene temple sits amidst natural springs, coconut groves, and areca nut plantations. A short, scenic trek through a shaded forest path leads you to this peaceful shrine. The sound of birds and flowing water makes the journey as beautiful as the destination itself. It’s a quiet, soul-soothing escape for nature and temple lovers alike.
Chandika Devi Temple, Dabhol
Located inside a natural cave in Dabhol, Chandika Devi Temple is one of the region’s most unique spiritual spots. The ancient idol of Goddess Chandika is believed to have been self-manifested. The cool, mysterious cave setting adds a mystical charm to the visit. Surrounded by greenery, this peaceful temple attracts both pilgrims and curious travelers.

Parshuram Bhoomi, Burondi
Parshuram Bhoomi is a striking hilltop spot marked by a massive 21-feet tall statue of Lord Parshuram, set against the backdrop of the Arabian Sea. It offers breathtaking 360° views of the sea, forests, and surrounding villages. The site is beautifully maintained with a park-like ambiance, making it a great spot for photography and peaceful sunset moments. It’s a serene, lesser-known landmark worth a visit while driving through Burondi.
Harne Bandar
A bustling little fishing port, Harne Bandar is known for its lively fish auctions and scenic sea views. It’s a wonderful place to experience the raw, authentic coastal life of Konkan. Early mornings here are a treat, with colorful boats returning and fresh catch being sorted and sold. You can also spot the old sea forts in the distance. Perfect for a casual evening stroll or a quick photography session by the jetty.
Panhalekaji Caves
History and nature meet at Panhalekaji Caves, a cluster of ancient rock-cut Buddhist and Hindu caves located along the banks of the Kotjai River. Dating back to the 3rd century, these caves are adorned with carvings, sculptures, and inscriptions. The calm, forested setting makes it a peaceful day-trip spot for history buffs and nature lovers alike. A quiet, offbeat location for those who enjoy exploring ancient sites.
Panchnadi Dam & Village
Panchnadi is a charming, typical Konkani village known for its serene dam, winding narrow roads, and lush green wadi (farms). The dam is a popular picnic spot among locals and offers beautiful reflections of the surrounding hills and coconut groves. Time seems to slow down here, with simple village life, chirping birds, and occasional bullock carts passing by. It’s perfect for those looking to experience authentic rural Konkan.
Beaches
The homestay is blessed with easy access to some of Dapoli’s most beautiful beaches, each offering its own charm.

Whether you’re after some adventure, a serene stroll, or just want to watch the sun dip into the sea, these beaches have something for everyone.
Cashew Factories
Another unique experience near our homestay is a visit to the local cashew factories. These small, family-run units offer an informative tour where you can witness the entire cashew-making process — from shelling and roasting to grading and packing. It’s a fascinating insight into one of Konkan’s most loved produce. You’ll also get to sample and purchase different varieties of fresh, locally processed cashews. A great little stop for food lovers and anyone curious about local traditions!
Nurseries
The areas surrounding our homestay are dotted with several beautiful plant nurseries, making them a pleasure to visit for nature enthusiasts. These nurseries offer a delightful variety of plants — from medicinal herbs and fruit-bearing trees to decorative, ornamental, and flowering species. Strolling through these lush green spaces is a refreshing experience, with the soothing scents of blooms and the sight of vibrant foliage all around. It’s a lovely way to spend a peaceful afternoon, and you might even find a plant or two to take home as a memory of your trip.
