Bhardkhol – Fishing village

A fishing village situated near to Shrivardhan in Maharashtra and accessible by the coastal road. The formation of the fishing boats was clicked from surrounding hill. It was about 10.00 am, when the boats were ready to get into the sea. The area is protected by rocks with a narrow route for the water and boats.
