Walking down barefoot on the Murud beach was one of the most peaceful experiences I ve had on beaches in India. <!–more–>

Murud is a coastal village in Western Maharashtra, 240 Kms south of Mumbai (approx 5 hours drive from Mumbai on the NH17).

While the beach itself is nothing to write home about with its particularly discolored sands… the true experience is in the calm on the beach.

The Padmadurg fort at the horizon during sunset and silhouettes of horsecarts ferrying excited kids (and adults) across the beach make for stunning moments (both real and photographed).

Care for a horse ride yourself? Hop on!
