Karhateshwar Temple, Ratnagiri

We fell upon this Temple while searching for Jaigad lighthouse. If you will look from the top, you will just see a dilapidated temple but don't let it dishearten you. Go down and take further stairs on the right to reach the little piece of heaven. It is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. There is a fresh water source in form of small well where water is coming from inside the mountain. It is fresh, clean and refreshing. Then there is a small beach which is very beautiful with palm trees and blue green water. You can just sit there for hours enjoying the place it is so beautiful. You can carry picnic basket and enjoy picnic there but lack of toilet facilities could cause issue. However a small visit is a must. But I will recommend that you wear your footwear while going down if you have sensitive feet like mine.  My recommendation is that it is must visit place.

Quiet and peaceful place. Small and very simple architecture. Good view of the sea. Just beside Jaigad light house. You can walk down to the sea.
