Getting There By Air Nearest airport is Mumbai, 136 kms. By Rail Nearest railhead is Panvel, 85 kms, on Konkan Railway By Road Mumbai - Panvel - Pen - Alibag - Kihim, 136 kms, Alibag - Kihim, 12 kms,  Panvel - Kihim, 85 kms. By Sea THE VIEW OF OUR COASTLINE Nearest port is Mandwa, 4 kms. from Kihim. There is a boat service from Gateway of India to Mandwa, every  half hour. The boats available are AC speed boats with personalized cabin facility and normal non a/c ferries. the ferry charges are Rs 95 (one way) which also includes free coach travel upto Kihim (however, this is never told out aloud). Do try and board this free bus provided,else one has to fork out Rs 275 by hailing a rickshaw or Rs 350 by boarding a tum tum to Kihim beach.      On a cold winter's day I suggest one to take the ferry by 9am from Gateway.It gives a panoramic view of the coastline.One can enjoy the view, breeze, sea gulls and pelican ,watch out for various foreign ships anchored along

He has given me   so much! A sharp mind, a sound body , the ability to think and act and take sound decision ( well ,almost always! :P   ) a wo
