Anjarle Turtle Festival 22-23 April 2023
April 21, 2023 @ 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Save as PDFAnjarle & Velas are villages in Ratnagiri District are one of the popular breeding sites of Olive Ridley Turtles, which visit anjarle & velas every year & lay their eggs.
The festival offers a wonderful opportunity to understand all the life around us and taking steps to conserve it. Documentary will be shown about the life of turtle.
To watch baby turtles coming out of eggs & crawling on sand, heading towards the sea is a lifetime experience.
Anjarle is also famous for its clean beach & delicious Konkani food.
