When one is ready to start from Pune
early morning and is ready to come back
late night, at the same time when one
wishes to enjoy the beauty of sea, there
is no choice except Alibag. The journey
Pune-Lonavala-Khandala-Khopoli-Shila
fata-Pen-Wadkhala-Poyanad-Dharamtar-Karlekhind-Alibag
- is of 140-145 kms and approx. 4.5 hrs.
The fort Kulaba lies 1-2 km in the sea
from Alibag. At the time of tide , the
whole fort is encircled with water while
at the time of fall; it is easy even to
walk the fort. That is the reason why
one needs to understand the sequence of
tide and fall while visiting Kulaba

before or after 1 hours of fall. But it
must be remembered to come back after
the full fall, within 1 hour. Otherwise
