Tarkarli
They will tell you Beyond this frontier, lies paradise: Goa – The colours of Bohemia The aroma of the sea The suntan warmth That chilled beer on the sands But, what if the gateway Was paradise too? An invisible border divides the mind For Tarkarli watches quietly – With its rivers, houseboats Coral seas and Sindhudurg It smiles – That rustic coconut calm Is not for the mindless tourist It is for the quiet nomad Exploring, not following Discovering, not ticking There, at the very tip You can choose to melt In bucolic silence; The journey down south cut short But what is infinity less one step The winds blow even at Tarkarli… 19 th Feb, 2026 Tarkarli lies at the very end of Maharashtra just before Goa – while tourists flock to Goa, the beauty of this gateway is just as mesmerising
