I have been through many reviews on Bordi, guess it’s my time do the honours. If u r looking for a serene and peaceful getaway from Mumbai, especially with ur loved one, Bordi is the place for you. Preferably go there by train, as by road it is around 145 kms away, u don’t wanna get tired at the start of the day. Board a train on Western railway preferably early morning to reach Virar around 7:00am coz the ticket queue is really long.
Ask ur buddy to be seated in the train n gaurd a few seats according to ur group size, as by the time u buy ur tickets there won’t be any place to sit. Board the 7:45 Surat shuttle n get down at Gholvad, which is immediate station after Dahanu, it will take aroun 1.5 hrs. take an auto ride to Bordi which is around 4 kms. The ride itself is wonderful. We stayed At TAPOVAN RETREAT which I believe is the best place to stay there, spacious suites n rooms, clean n aaffordable place, good people n the beach is right across the road. other places to stay are **MTDC resort , GOOLKUSH resort. The beach is shallow n it’s low tide all throughout the day.
The beach is clean n there is a camping ground nearby which is full of Suru trees. The village is a very quiet one n people seem very friendly. There is Dam and a Roman Catholic Church which u can visit, or else just laze around in ur room. There are plenty of places to eat but remeber to order them beforehand.Just walk around the beach , hang around the village, do anything there, it just relieves you. Ideally suited for weekend getaway for couples n families. If you want to have Party on the beach n in your hotel Bordi is definitely NOT the place for you.*
