Thonsepar Island (st. Mary's Islands)

This is Thonse Par island, Which is in fact a group of islands in the coast of Karnataka. Famous for its basaltic rock formation formed due to volcanic eruptions.

This island is belived to be named by Vasco - da- gama. On his journey to India. Where he touched its coast.
The costal region was much far from the present day coast. Coz sea is moved lot a distance back.

Its a Island worth visiting.
