Winding roads fringed by the sea on one side, tall palms swaying in the salty breeze, small and big houses fronted with lawns, glimpses of educational institutions, lazy pedallers on their bicycles riding alone or with a pillion, friendly and curious children watching you drive by....a quiet sea-side hamlet...that is Bordi

The ideal weekend getaway for harried, hassled, nerves-at-breaking-point executives and the hoi polloi, it's just 140 kms from Mumbai. A haven of unspoilt beach, orchards heavy with chickoo and miles of winding road waiting expectantly to be explored, Bordi has hitherto remained untouched by the greedy hands of commerce. You can soak in its serenity and send a silent prayer that there are still places like this to retire to on a weekend. Hallelujah

A local bazaar busy with women selling all kinds of wares thrown up by the sea, a "beach resort" here, a bhel puri house there, colleges for women, engineering institutions, a railway crossing here and Adivasi women there, Bordi is a blend of the halcyon days and the modern....but not too modern that you shun it.
