"Manori"

Manori Experience: Manori is an island located in the western suburbs of Mumbai. Manori is frequented by families, couples and BPO staff for one day or one night picnics.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Good Goan-style food, no restaurants; resort food is the best food. There are no points or attractions around. The only solace is the sea and the near-perfect silence in the area.

Activities & things to do: The only thing to do is laze around.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: The ride to Manori is a tiring one, especially if you are coming from central suburbs or further. The best option is to take a train to Malad station, then take a rickshaw or bus to Marve. (Bus is the better option as rick drivers tend to take a longer route.) From Marve, the only route is the creek which divides Manori from the rest of Mumbai. It is only a five minute ferry ride, filled with fisher folk, hawkers, bikers and picnickers.

"Manori"

Manori Experience: An awesome and not so far away destination for Mumbaikars....hardly an hour to reach from Andheri...if you are coming via car...its not too far as well...maybe 2 1/2 hrs drive, if you know the exact way that is...the beach can be maintained better....but nonetheless, you will get the value for money for a weekend get away...superb for both family and young groups to enjoy

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: There is not much for shopping and sight seeing...its a detination where you would want to relax for an evening with your loved ones in a cottage....just near to the beach

Activities & things to do: There is only one place called manoribel...which provides and indoor and outdoor activities next to the beach itself...other wise there is not much adventure just lying there

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Best and the least time consuming is to reach Malad Marway from any part of Mumbai and take a ferry across to Manori...its much more fun and adventurous. there are ferry rides every 5 mins from Marway to water kingdom and Manori both....

"A serene gateway for the solitude seeker !"

Manori Experience: If you think travel in Mumbai is all about crowds and clamor, Manori is the destination to prove you wrong. This is the place where you wont find too much of crowd nor the disturbance of hawkers shouting vehemently as in other beaches. Its just a sojourn to indulge one's soul in nature and keep off the routine tensions of life at the bay ...quite literally !

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food: If you are a foodie and have a stomach for sea food, then there are quite a few eateries to savour your taste buds with pomfret-fry, fried Bombay duck, shrimps, crabs and many such delicacies. Sight-seeings: The nature lover in you will be pampered every bit with greenery and beaches around. The places worth visinting are: 1)The Manori Beach : The 2.5 km beach is the main attraction. 2)The twin ashrams of Swami Gagangiri Maharaj and his disciple Swami Gagananand Maharaj near Manori jetty are sure to find you peace of mind whether your spiritually inclined or not . 3)Samdreshwar Temple: This Shiv temple is located in the vicinity of ashrams. 4)The Global Vipassana Pagoda: The tall golden structure is visible from throughout this region and is a must visit to wonder at this architectural marvel. 5) The Essel World & Water Kingdom: The vicinity of these famous amusement parks makes the soiree all the more enjoyable ! If you are on a shopping mission ...then its Mission Impossible ! You may have to return with empty bags but mind full of memories .

Activities & things to do: The beach is quite quiet during weekdays and perfect spot for a family gathering and activities. You can even explore the northern part of beach which is lot more cleaner. Or if you are just in need of a idle break ,laze off on the beach shore during sunset to experience celestial beauty.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Manori can be reached quite easily from Mumbai city : 1)By Rail: Malad-West (Mumbai suburb) is the nearest rail-head.Also can be reached from Borivali-West (Mumbai suburb). 2)By Public transport Bus: Mumbai\'s BEST bus number 272 plies from Malad-west railway station upto Marve beach. Also, BEST #269 from Borivali west takes you upto Marve village. Longer route exists from Bhayander (Mumbai - suburb railway) via Uttan village where state transport buses ply. 3)By Ferry boat: Once you reach Marve village, you can board a ferry boat to cross Manori creek which charges Rs.2 per person and Rs.5 per motor cycle one way. Last ferry boat runs till 23:45. Travel Warnings: The beach can be really lonely during some week-days. Advisable to carry own food on weekdays especially at morning or afternoons. An autorickshaw from Malad may not be the option if budget is your concern. The road to Marve village can be an example of typical heavy Mumbai traffic on week-ends !

Manori Experience: Pretty calm, serene and a quiet place for a weekend, rest your ears from honking, as the only sound you get there is of the waves.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping: No, don't expect anything great when food is concerned, its not a place for foodies but for nature lovers.

Activities & things to do: Take your camera and start shooting. i did such an exploration.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: You can take a bus from Malad west till Munva, and feri tillMmanori. i felt thats the best option for Mumbaikars.
