ABOUT NARGOL
Nargol is a village located in the southern region of
the Indian state of Gujarat near the Maharashtra border. It
lies about 150 kilometres north from Mumbai and around
400 kilometres from Ahmedabad on the Arabian Sea coast.
Nargol beach is dotted with Casuarina trees and the waters
have a population of sea turtles. The nearest town is Vapi,
located about 25 kilometres, and the nearest airports
are Daman and Surat. The nearest railway station is Sanjan,
(about 11 kilometres from the village) with frequent train
connections to both Mumbai in south and Gujarat in the
north.
The countryside surrounding Nargol is typical Indian
countryside dotted with small farmhouses. The beaches are
wide and lonely sand beaches with big tidal water level
differences. Persians (Zoroastrians) migrated from Persia to
land on the shores of Nargol first then spread south to
Sanjan and north to Udvada. The village has palm trees too
and the temperature is tropical.
Nargol is a small town with houses mostly not visited by
owners. The beach is rarely visited by locals and is not very
crowded. It is an interesting holiday destination and sees a
few tourists, who come there to enjoy the isolation and
peace of mind. The seaside is part of the Gulf of
Cambay (Gulf of Khambhat), which has very clouded waters
with almost no visibility. This is possibly because of the large
rivers that bring their humus to the sea around the bay.
The area is about 9 kilometres long with numerous
geometrical formations and lies about 20 kilometres off the
coast.
The Village has some good surroundings on all four
sides. Arabian Sea to the West, Uberagon to the south which
is separated by a river and still need a ferry to cross. To the
South East is the Village of Sanjan and to the North is
Seronda. Seronda is a beautiful small village with a
population of around 1200 and has a beautiful hill with forest
covered all over it.
