Town- Harihareshwar
Beauty of the Konkan coastal town Harihareshwar is unparalleled due to the Sahyadri ranges .It has quite a few tourist spots that one can appreciate and enjoy.
Ganesh Gully is one such popular place about 1 km from the Harihareshwar temple. It is a Hindu pilgrimage point especially for the devotees of Lord Ganesh.
The Hindi word Gully ( गल्ली ) literally means a narrow passage joining two places.
Ganesh Gully is a small culvert, meaning a narrow passage of about 3 feet width between two rocky mountains that leads to a sea bed where a huge idol of Lord Ganesh is submerged in the sea at a depth of 30 feet.
The darshan of the Lord is possible only during the low tide when the water recedes revealing the idol for viewing.
To reach up to here, the steps of Harihareshwar temples are to be climbed. The point is called Shukla tirth viewpoint. From then on, it is a trek / walk of about 1 km leading to the gully.
The trek is quite risky and not advisable for children, elderly people etc.
However, new stairs have been built recently along with railings to hold on which makes it much easier and accessible to cross the gully.
Needless to say this point is full of adventure and natural beauty.
