  Anjiyoda is a beautiful village with lot of greenery and fertile land, Its a nice place for trekking,farming and staying away from rush life of city.
  Sindhu
  durg has been well-known as a Tourism District amongst the entire tourist destination scenario of the Country. The reason is the natural beauty here and truly this is a combination of a vast sea and a rich history in terms of ancient forts. The geographical placement of this District is shown in a map here.
  In the last few years Sindhudurg District has made great strides in development and the Government has also decided to bring certain globally important projects here. The number of tourists visiting the District has been ever increasing but the local residents who had gone to the metro cities of Mumbai and Pune for employment and business are now looking forward to their home District with passion.
  With Kokan Railway providing an immaculate mode of transport and communication, Sindhudurg is now almost closer to metro cities. OROS as District headquarters is at the core of District development for tourism and business. At OROS you can find all District administrative offices as well as various types of educational institutes, a proposed IT Park and other facilities. OROS is the only fully planned city in entire Kokan area and is superbly connected with all the talukas of the District.
  Jaitapkar Builders and Developers have launched an ambitious project of 110 residential flats and 66 business galas in a complex aptly called SIDDHIVINAYAK PARK just near Mumbai-Goa National Highway 17.
  SIDDHIVINAYAK PARK is complete with impressive structures and elevations, state of the art facilities and amenities, well arranged garden, common areas, temple, security arrangements and ample parking area.
  All these facilities in a planned city ready for future Kokan that is OROS mean that an investment here now will bring you cheer if you would like to make it your residence in the company of beautiful nature or if you just look for a worthy investment opportunity in Real Estate.
  Wildlife and Vegetation
  The Gerry Martin Project (TGMP) is starting its first Research and Conservation Field Station on a beautiful plot of forested land, located in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, just a stone throw from the Tilari Dam. The land is bordered by a perennial stream and reserve forest and is teeming with wildlife.
  TGMP is planning to start surveys of wildlife and vegetation in November and are opening their doors to like-minded and interested folks. The survey expedition will run from the November 1 to 5, 2013.
  The expedition will be led by Gerry Martin who has close to two decades of experience working with wildlife. He was India’s fist National Geographic Channel Adventurer. Today his focus is snakebite mitigation and conservation through community engagement and education. TGMP will be putting together an inventory of reptiles and amphibians that are found in the area with photographic cataloguing of each species they observe there. They have only limited places on the expedition. It is a great opportunity to learn and experience what it takes to be the first researchers in a forest.
  Sea World TO SAWANTWADI 65 KM
  Tondawali, some 450 km south of the city, is an obscure but dainty village in Malvan, Sindhudurg, in the Konkan belt in the state.
  But its geography and regional economy are about to experience a major shake-up that will, in a manner of speaking, endow a part of it with the look and feel of Antarctica. No, this is not a VFX-packed, apocalyptic Hollywood blockbuster.
  The state government has approved a Rs.-509 crore project to build India's first oceanarium here, or the Sea World. It will be the second major theme park in the state after Essel World, the ninth in the country, and will catapult Tondawali to the recreation map of the country.The approval for the aquatic fantasyland comes after a recent meeting chaired by Chief Minister PrithvirajChavan and attended by Industries Minister Narayan Rane and Tourism Minister Chhagan Bhujbal.
  Accepted after a feasibility study prepared by Centre-promoted Science and Technology Park in the University of Pune, the park is expected to be thrown open to public in three years, and would include a mock Antarctica among several other attractions.
  The ultra-mega project, expected to cost about Rs 6,300 crore, will come up in the villages of Tondavali and Vayangani in Sindhudurg district in the Konkan region, 471 kilometres away from Mumbai. The state government will implement the project on a public-private-partnership model. Officials estimated that the land acquisition would cost at least Rs 180 crore to Rs 200 crore and take at least a year to be completed.
  The previous Congress-NCP government had first initiated the project in 2009, but faced stiff opposition from local villagers who did not wish to give up their lands. The two local gram sabhas had even passed resolutions against the project.
  According to the original plan, the government had decided to acquire 1,390 acres for the core ‘Sea World’ as well as for the development of ancillary tourism facilities such as hotels, resorts and restaurants around it.
  However, the Devendra Fadnavis-led government last year decided to scale it down to 350 acres, considering the local sentiments and dropped plans for land acquisition to create a tourism eco-system around the amusement park.
  “We studied models all over the world and realised that such amusement parks can be comfortably built on land even smaller than 350 acres,” said a senior official with the state tourism department.
  Accordingly, the government plans to acquire 350 acres for the sea world, another 50 acres to set up a skill development institute and the rest for beautification and a marina.
  The official added that the government had started preliminary discussions with landowners, and except for at least 15 percent, the rest were on board.
  
  
  
  Fort
  Sindhudurg, Shivaji built this ocean fort in 1664 AD on a low rocky 48-acre island off the Malvan coast. Vijaydurg and Sindhudurg are twin forts from the days of Shivaji's time that is a historic place with its serene coastal beauty. It is believed that Shivaji personally selected the site for the construction of the fort.
  Other temples dedicated to Hindu deities renowned in the Maratha pantheon (as Maruti, Bhavani, Mahadeo, Jarimai, Mahapurush, etc) lie within the limits of the fort. The Vijaydurg or 'Victory Fort' and the Padamgarh Fort are other attractions in the vicinity. There is the only temple of Shivaji Maharaj in the world; the temple was built by Shivaji's son Rajaram. Festivities such as ShivajiJayanti (birthday of Shivaji), Ram Navami, Janmashtami, Mahashivrathri, Ganesh Chaturthi, are celebrated. Daily puja (worship)and maintenance is done by mainly two families that were assigned this job since the fort was built; one of them is ShriramSakpal. Along with the navy, Shivaji maharaj also realized the importance of a sea fort. One of the sea fort that he built was this Sindhudurga Fort at Malvan.
  The oldest fort on the Sindhudurga coast, was constructed during the regime of Raja Bhoja II of the Shilahar dynasty (construction period 1193-1205). The fort was earlier known as "Gheria", as it is situated close to the village of "Girye". Shivaji captured this fort from Adil Shah of Bijapur in 1653 and renamed it as "Vijay Durg" as the then Hindu solar year's name was "Vijay" (Victory).
  Interestingly this fort has three rows of huge walls and under water stone structure also believed to be a wall. It contains spacious inner buildings and bastions named after Maratha soldiers. In 1st B.C it was minor port and gained importance during regime of Satvahana Rulers. Then Shilaharas, the rulers from Kolhapur erected this fort trade purpose and named ‘Gheria’. Fort witnessed successive Hindu dynasties before Adilshahi rulers, then again Marathas and Finally British. In fact Marathas went a head by building indigenous navy. Difficult to capture, British called it rock of Zibralter.
  
  Airport
  The Parule Chipi airport can cater to international flights and attract foreign tourists to the Konkan,” an official said, pointing to how the Dabolim airport in Goa had limitations on civilian flight operations as it was a defense facility and that the setup of a Greenfield airport at Mopa in North Goa was pending due to opposition.
  Industries minister Narayan Rane, who hails from Sindhudurg, had strongly supported the airport, for which the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation is the nodal agency responsible.
  Furthermore, the airport is expected to generate direct and indirect employment in the region, especially in sectors like hospitality, aviation and transport. Spread over an area of over 275 hectares, the airport is located 17 km from the Mumbai- Goa highway. Being developed by IRB Sindhudurg Airport Pvt. Ltd, it will be able to accommodate large planes like Boeing 737s and Airbus 310s.
