Velas Turtle festival
Hello Nature lovers,
Mountaineer trekkers organising visit to Velas beach for turtle festival, visit to Bankot fort, Harihareshwar or Srivardan beach.
About Velas Turtle Festival :
Located on the Konkan coast in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, Velas is a quaint village still unsullied by commercialisation and the advent of technology. Velas is a small eco-village in Ratnagiri district which is famous for the Olive Ridley turtle population that visits the Velas beach every year and lays their eggs. Witnessing a baby turtle coming out of the egg and then finding its way to the sea by those baby steps is an unforgettable moment.
