AFTER A LONG N KINDA BUMPY ROAD WE REACHED THIS POINT.... THIS IS THE JUNGLE JETTY IS WAT THE LOCAL PPL CALL IT... THE THE WATER WHICH U CAN SEE IN FRONT OF U IS ACTUALLY A CREEK... ITS CALLED "BANKOT CKEEK" THIS CREEK DIVIDES RATNAGIRI N RAIGAD DISTRICT... SO THIS SIDE OF THE CREEK IS RATNAGIRI N ON THE OTHER SIDE IS RAIGAD DISTRICT....FORM RATNAGIRI SIDE THERE IS A SMALL VILLAGE CALLED "BANKOT" FROM WHERE THE JETTY STARTS AND ON THE RAIGAD SIDE REACHES A VILLAGE CALLED "BAGMANDLA"....THIS IS THE SHORTEST WAY TO GET FROM RATNAGIRI TO RAIGAD N VICE VERSA..IT BARELY TAKES 15 MINS TO REACH THE OTHER END.....U FEEL LIKE LOOPING THOSE MOVEMENT FOR THE REST OF UR LIFE...TINY DROPS OF RAIN FALLING ON UR FACE... U FELL THE COOL BREEZE N U SHIVER..N SMILE TO PERSON STANDING NEXT TO U.....ONCE UR HALF WAY THROUGHT THE VIEW IS BREATH TAKING....
THIS JUNGLE JETTY STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN A COMPLETE BOON FOR TOURISTS TRAVELLING FROM RAIGAD TO RATNAGIRI....BEFORE THIS JETTY U HAD TO TAKE A BIG DETOUR TO GO TO RAIGAD.... ITS A 70 KMS ROAD TO GET ACROSS THE CREEK...RAIN,SNOW,HAIL, WATEVER IT MAY BE THE JETTY IS SERVING ITS PURPOSE...STARTS AT 7 O CLOCK IN THE MORNING N THE LAST ACROSS IS AT 6 O CLOCK..THE JETTY IS ON HOURLY BASES... FOR A SMALL CAR LIKE ALTO,INDICA,MARUTI 800.. THE CHARGES R 70 RUPEES N DRIVER INCLUDED... FOR REST 7 RUPEES PER PERSON..IT CAN ALSO FIT A BIG VOLVO IN IT...
IN THE CENTER RIGHT OF THE ABOVE PIC U CAN SEE A HILL WELL MY NATIVE PLACE IS LOCATED ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE HILL...KINDA FELL LUCK TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NATIVE PLACE...OK SO HARESHWAR IS HARDLY 4 KMS FROM BAGMANDLA....THE ONLY 2 COLOURS U SEE ARE GREEN N BROWN(RIVERS)....ITS SOO GREEN THAT U FEEL THAT THERE R GRASSHOPPERS SITTING IN EVERYWHERE....IT WAS RAINING DOGS N BITICHES THERE...THREE DAYS IN PEACE NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION.. ITS FUN TO GET TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLD ONCE IN A WHILE...
