No doubt Ganpati pule is necklace of Konkan belt which is beuatiful because of clean beach and eye soothing with coconut trees around. The natures beauty is enhanced by a temple of Swayambhu (self-made)Ganesha which proves beauty of shrine. Ganti Pule is situated in Ratnagiri district with 800 houses waiting for the hospitality of tourists. Ganpati pule is dominated by Brahmin Purohits who are engaged in rights and rituals of God Ganesh and also in lodging and boarding of tourists. Maharashtra tourism development corporation (MTDC) has a beautiful resort that take care of National and International tourists. There is a constant flow of International tourist for all eight months (excluding 4 months of monsoon). By deccan oddissi tourist train tourist's can also witness the folk music and other art forms on the se-shore with the natural whistle of sea winds.
Ganpati pule is 375-kilometre away from Mumbai and Pune. There is a bus available from Mumbai and Pune. One can visit the place by Konkan Railway getting down at Ratngiri and take a state transport bus. And this is one of the best options as the journey becomes beautiful as it passes the tunnels and natures beauty of Konkan.
This place is considered Holy because of the Ganesh temple and it has a deep cultural and literary significance too. Since Kavi Keshavsuth’s Memorial is just two kilometre ahead at Malgund most tourists who have a cultural and literary state of mind make it a point to visit the place. Pawas is another place that is a spot every visitor should go to. This place is prominent for the ashram of Swami Swaroopananda (a spiritual leader who influenced an entire generation of Maharashtrians). A visit to the place is a journey through time. 35-kilometres away from Ganapatipule is the legendary Jaigad fort that stands high and proud on the cliff with a spectacular view of the sea. The fort is at the entrance of the Sangameshwar River.
About 15 kilometres away from Ganpatipule towards Ratnagiri is the Are-Vare beach. Sparkling blue waters, endless stretches of sparkling sand, sun beams dancing through the swaying palms, waves playing with the sand dunes and cool breeze whispering in your ears are the best parts about spending an evening at this virgin beach. The beauty of this beach lies in its loneliness making it serene, sedate and unspoiled. After your visit to Ganpatipule beach and the temple that is crowded most of the times, the Are-Vare beach would surely soothe you.
