Discover the Konkan Coast
The Konkan Coast, stretching along the western shores of Maharashtra, is a captivating region adorned with pristine beaches, cascading waterfalls, and lush greenery. This haven beckons travellers seeking serenity, adventure, and a taste of authentic Maharashtrian culture. While Goa might be the first name that pops into your mind, the Konkan Coast boasts a treasure trove of hidden gems. Pack your bags and embark on a journey to some of the best places in Konkan we mention in this blog.
Gateway to the Konkan: Mumbai
Maharashtra's crown jewel, Mumbai, serves as the perfect starting point for your Konkan adventure. Immerse yourself in the city's vibrant energy by exploring iconic landmarks like the Gateway of India, a majestic archway overlooking the Arabian Sea. Delve into the city's rich history at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, an architectural marvel housing a vast collection of artefacts. Stay at The Orchid Hotel Mumbai Vile Parle when staying in Mumbai.
Tranquil Escape: Dapoli
Dapoli, nestled in the Sahyadri mountains, offers a refreshing escape from the coastal bustle. This hill station boasts breathtaking views, cascading waterfalls, and a laid-back atmosphere. Embark on a scenic trek to Kas Plateau, a tabletop mountain offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscape. Unwind by the cascading waters of Vazira Nala or explore the intriguing history of the Kamalgad Fort, perched atop a hill. We recommend staying at Lotus Eco Beach Resort when staying in Dapoli.
Beyond the Konkan Coast
While the Konkan Coast is a treasure trove in itself, Maharashtra offers a diverse range of destinations complementing your coastal adventure perfectly.
Sun-Kissed Shores: Goa
Goa is renowned for its beaches near Konkan, vibrant nightlife, and laid-back charm. Relax on the golden sands of beaches like Calangute or Baga, indulge in water sports like parasailing or jet skiing, or explore charming Portuguese-influenced villages like Panjim and Anjuna. When in Goa, consider staying at Lotus Eco Beach Resort.
Hill Station Retreat: Lonavala
Lonavala, nestled in the Western Ghats, offers a respite from the coastal heat. This hill station is a popular weekend getaway known for its scenic beauty, waterfalls, and adventure activities. Take a thrilling ride on the toy train along the picturesque routes, go rock climbing amidst the natural cliffs, or unwind amidst the serene surroundings. Consider staying at The Orchid when staying in Lonavala.
Cultural Tapestry: Nashik
Nashik, an ancient city on the banks of the Godavari River, is a significant pilgrimage centre. Immerse yourself in the spiritual aura by visiting the Trimbakeshwar Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas (holiest Shiva shrines) in India. Explore the captivating Pandavleni Caves, adorned with intricate Buddhist sculptures, or delve into the city's rich history at the Coin Museum.
Vibrant Metropolis: Pune
Pune, Maharashtra's second-largest city, is a dynamic centre of education, culture, and history. Explore the architectural marvels of the Shaniwar Wada, the seat of the Peshwa rulers, or visit the Aga Khan Palace, a majestic edifice offering panoramic views of the city. For a dose of nature, head to the Rajiv Gandhi Zoological Park or spend an afternoon at the serene Osho Garden. Choose from either The Orchid Hotel Pune or Fort JadhavGADH when travelling to Pune.
