Day 1

Trip to Revdanda fort. Actually, the whole village can be called as the fort. Wherever we go in the village, we can see traces of fort-remains - doors, walls, arches, etc. The walls have a unique collection of various stones used - red, yellow and black used in construction [I had never seen this before].

Revdanda fort is a reminder of the Portuguese rule in India. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
