Hotels in Ganpatipule - Ganpatipule is a small town located in the district Ratnagiri on the Konkan. Legend has it that Lord Ganapati (a Hindu God) on being offended by a native lady changed his dwelling from Gule to Pule and thus the town was named Ganapatipule. It houses the famous 400 year old Swayambhu Ganapati temple. The drive to Ganapatipule is quite spectacular lined with beaches an expanse of palm trees and casuarinas plantations and small fishing villages. There is an interesting Ganapati-shaped walk of 1km around the hill which is called Pradakshina a way of respect shown by the pilgrims to the deity.
