Overview of the destinationHi,
So, after reading and searching all over the internet, i discovered that Bordi could be a good destination for relaxation after a tired week. So, I and my girlfriend, started early morning from Dadar station by Gujrat Express, we got off at Dahanu and took a rick from there to bordi which is easily available from Dahanu. When we were approaching Bordi the picturesque sea line was there to welcome us. We stopped the rick at MTDC resort ( which i heard was the best and cheapest option there.) But the reply was no room was vacant. A lie. All the room were vacant. There was not a single soul at the resort, I asked few locals and they told me the real story. These MTDC resort people have a commission tie up with a Hotel which is just in front of the MTDC resort. Being a government resort they dont worry at all about the tourist. They only look for money. Anyways we walked ahead and stayed at the Goolkhush resort. A old and friendly parsi couple runs the resort. The rooms were decent and quite okay.
But the food was excellent. A very homely food, though little expensive but yes worth the money. So far so good. But what about the real thing, the only place to enjoy here is the beach. The beach looks good but my god, the beach is really dirty. Being said the sleepy town and cool place, to tensions and all that stuff, but the real thing which is the beach itself is so dirty that you dont want to step a foot in to it. The place is full of man shit and you have to be aware of it while walking. These bloody villagers have no respect for the mother nature. So my dear friends, go to bordi only if you want to stay in a room or resort and relax with your partner. but really forget the beach. there is nothing else to do

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Take gujarat express early in the morning and reach dahanu. Otherwise, you can take a Virar local and from Virar you get a passenger train every 1-2 hours. You can also get down at Gholvad station, check out the trains which stops there. You can take a rick from both places. We came back from Gholvad waking up early in morning and came by Valsad passenger at 6.00 am. We were at dadar by 9.
