Kankeshwar when split Kanak-Ishwar literally means God of Gold... Kankeshwar is a temple of Shiva on a hill very close to Alibag..
There are 650 steps which one has to climb to reach the temple on top.. The first 350 steps are a bit tiring, but the next 300 steps are really easy..
To reach the temple one has to go through the really crappy roads of NH17.. The roads between Pen and wadkhal and even after that are in a really bad shape.. it was a roller coaster ride all the way... The roads after Wadkhal towards Alibag are also in a dilapidated condition.. the only saving grace was the weather and the darshan we got in the temple..
From Wadkhal one has to take the Alibag road.. Take a right at Karlekhind.. That road takes you to Revas.. As you keep going on the road, you would see a HUGE arch which reads Kankeshwar..
Total distance from Matunga to Kankeswar is nearly 100kms..
It took us nearly an hour and a half to reach the top ..
View of the hill from the parking lot.
first steps .. the start..
you keep getting updated with the number of steps remaining...
We were accompanied by some awesome rain and thanks to the trees we were saved from the brunt of the cold winds and the rain..
Mom-dad enjoying the quite moment in the awesome weather..
the beautiful temple...
