Cultural & historical significance 

The temple is the most important Hindu temple in the state. It is a pilgrimage destination for Hindus, who come here to visit Lord Shiva. In addition to being a popular tourist destination, it also houses a museum that showcases various artifacts from Velneshwar's history and culture. 

The temple was built by Rani Durgavati, who ruled over Chittor during 14th century CE (the first part of 15th century). The present structure has been rebuilt several times since then; today’s building dates back to 19th century CE when it was renovated under Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh II as part of his expansion plans within his kingdom at that time.. 

Stunning sunset views 

If you're looking for a beautiful place to relax and unwind, the sunset views at Velneshwar are perfect. The circular walkways give you access to some of the most stunning views in all of India. You can take pictures, enjoy a picnic or swim in the ocean as you watch your surroundings turn into an incredible canvas of color. 

The best time to visit is during March through May when there are fewer tourists but still plenty of warm weather days where it doesn't get too cold or hot (depending on where you live). You'll also find that many people come here because this area has so many different activities available—from surfing to fishing with your own boat on calm oceanside waters! 

Friendly locals & warm hospitality 

The locals are very friendly and helpful. They are warm and welcoming to all visitors, regardless of their nationality or where they come from. If you're looking for a place that feels like home away from home, Velneshwar is the perfect destination for you! 

Yoga & meditation retreats 

Velneshwar is a small coastal town with ancient Velneshwar Temples and pilgrimage sites and a beautiful beach. It's also home to the Yoga & Meditation Retreats, where you can stay in our luxury bungalows or tents with other like-minded people who are interested in yoga and meditation. 

The best way to get here from Mumbai is by train or plane: From Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), take an overnight train to Sawantwadi station; then take another train for about two hours until you arrive at Velneshwar station—it'll be about 30 minutes on foot from there! You'll need your passport as well as some cash for things like accommodation and food during your stay here; credit cards aren't accepted here so please bring enough cash so that no one runs out before leaving town again after dropping off their luggage at the hotel/tent owner's place of residence while they head out into nature :) 

Birdwatching & nature trails 

The nature trails in Velneshwar are perfect for those who love to walk and take pictures. You can also visit these trails on a cycle or horseback riding. 

There are many places just outside of the town where you can go hiking, swimming or boating. There are water sports like canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding available too! Camping is another great way to spend time here because there are several camping sites around Velneshwar that offer everything you need including electricity, toilets etc., meaning no need for generators at all! 

Unspoiled by commercialization 

You will be surprised to find that Velneshwar is a true wilderness. There are no shopping malls or high-rise buildings in the area, so there’s no need for you to worry about having your bags stolen by rascals who have come from far off lands just to mug you! 

Instead of trying to find places where people gather, we recommend spending time exploring the rural villages surrounding Velneshwar. These villages offer a glimpse into life before urbanization took over India and globalized its capital cities (which might sound familiar). 

We are sure you will agree with us that Velneshwar is one of the best destinations for a vacation. The history and culture of this region, combined with its natural beauty, make it a perfect destination for peace and relaxation. You can enjoy water sports at the beach or go on an adventure tour to explore the forest trails and discover all kinds of birds. We hope you have an amazing time while visiting our town!
