Devbagh Beach Resort, Karwar

Jungle Lodges and Resorts, Devbagh, near Karwar is one of its kind. It offers a unique opportunity to live a jungle life.  A retreat, which is not only exclusive, but secluded as well. The resort is located on an island near estuary of river Kali and Arabian sea. The resort is only accessible by boat.  We had traveled to this place by road from Mumbai. The resort office is just off the national highway 17 (Panvel-Kochi Highway) on the banks of Kali river. If you are coming from Goa cross the big bridge on the river and take the first left. You will see the office right there.

One of the best options in Ganpatipule, if you want to stay right on the beach! Though around 5 kms away from the temple, this resorts offers nice, clean and kind of a private beach. We booked sea view villa, which was on the beach side of the property. At first, we were excited to see lush green gardens and sea.
