Shrivardhan, situated in the Konkan region of Maharashtra's Raigad district, is renowned for its pristine sandy shores. It holds a prominent place in history as the birthplace of the first Peshwa, Peshwe Balaji Vishwanath Bhat, and is often referred to as the town of Peshwas. Additionally, it boasts mythological significance, being associated with the visit of the Pandava prince Arjun during his exile.
Geographically, Shrivardhan is a coastal enclave nestled between the Sahyadri mountains and the Arabian Sea. Positioned 117 kilometers south of Alibaug city, 182 kilometers from Mumbai, and 162 kilometers from Pune, the town offers a picturesque setting. The climate is characterized by considerable rainfall, with the Konkan region receiving substantial amounts (ranging from 2500 mm to 4500 mm). This results in a humid and warm climate, with temperatures climbing up to 30 degrees Celsius. Summers are notably hot and humid, often reaching 40 degrees Celsius, while winters bring a milder ambiance (around 28 degrees Celsius) with cool and dry conditions.
Shrivardhan's main allure lies in its unspoiled beaches lined with swaying coconut trees. These serene stretches of sand are perfect for unwinding and witnessing breathtaking sunsets, making it a favored spot for weekend getaways and picnics. Tourists can also indulge in horse riding and horse cart rides, adding to the attraction.
For those looking to explore further, nearby attractions include the Laxmi Narayan Temple, an artistically sculpted temple of Lord Vishnu with over two centuries of history. The Peshwe Smarak, erected at the birthplace of Peshwa Balaji Vishwanath Bhat, pays homage to the town's historical significance. Additionally, Diveagar Beach, located 23 kilometers north of Shrivardhan and connected by a scenic coastal road, offers a tranquil and clear beach experience.
