Trip Overview

Maharashtra is blessed with 720 kms long seacoast. Shared with Konkan, Thane, and Ratnagiri also Sindhudurg sections. Numerous marine brutes come visit. Still, the exact count and type are unknown. As from what’s believed there isn’t a detailed study available. In the time 2000-01, it was found that a species of turtle, Olive Ridley is a prominent caller to the props of Maharashtra for breeding purposes. Other species are the Green Turtle, Hawksbill and the Leatherback. A lot of the other information is formerly available online, like what does turtles eat, how a turtle looks like. The difference between a turtle, tortoise and a terrapin.

Velas is a small fishing vill on the western seacoast of Maharashtra. About 220 kms down from Mumbai, a little over a hundred houses on the seacoast of the Arabian Sea. It’s that time of the time again when a bitsy grey head pokes out of the golden beach and takes a breath of the fresh salty air of the Arabian Sea. It’s a capstone of a lengthy process, which started when, under the cover of darkness, its mama surfaced out from the rolling surges to lay her heap of 100-120 eggs on the golden sand. Unconscious to the world that awaits it outside its golden cocoon, the bitsy hatchling is soon followed by a hundred others, all crawling their way towards the brightest lights of the horizon-in this case, the ocean.
