<p>Located just 9.5 km from Alibaug, the Kanhoji Angre Island, popularly known as Khanderi, makes for an engaging getaway, with its historic fort and lighthouse, and, of course, a heady boat ride during high tide, to reach the island.</p>

Kanhoji Angre Island
When we heard about a trip to the sleepy island of Khanderi (Kanhoji Angre Island) off Alibaug, it came as a surprise. Curiously, it had never surfaced on itineraries or weekend escape plans. Keen to explore this site, we signed up for a day trip. The group of 14 met at the Gateway of India for the 8 am ferry to Mandwa.
