Sawantwadi is a coastal strip of land, bound by the Sahyadri hills on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. It is rich in mineral resources, and offers long stretches of clean, sandy beaches, overflowing lakes, dense forests, simple people, old temples, curvy roads. This is a small and picturesque town in Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra, also known for its quintessential  Konkani food.
