Thought of various options like relaxing at home... watching a lot of movies... lot of shopping (obviously for wife.
With 2 days in hand... tried to find various options around Pune & Mumbai (could not get any good options, thanks to my laziness... )
After exploring a bit of options, we decided to go to a few beaches around Pune & Mumbai (itne [time] mein itnaich milenga). We packed our bags and left for Harihareshwar, Kashid & Murud-Janjira ...
I must say it was a very nice outing, relaxing from the busy schedule...
People might find a lot of reviews & comments about Kashid & Murud, but finding information for Harihareshwar is bit difficult. So thought of sharing my experiences @ Harihareshwar...
