About Our Trips Book Your Accomodation Activities

The Konkan Coast spans 720km of coastline along the Southwestern side of the Indian subcontinent solely in the state of Maharashtra. Moving further south, you’d find the Sapta- Konkan, which further extends from Maharashtra into Goa. Not to mention, there is the mighty Sahyadri Mountain Range (popularly called the Western Ghats), which forms the eastern boundary of the Konkan and extends into the oceans and the Arabian Sea, which marks the western boundary. These were just the geographics. Dotted with pristine, immaculate, sandy white beaches, each having their own distinct personality and with the oceans being both cool and calm for you to pick your ideal surf spots, the Konkan coast is a haven for most travellers. This area is extremely unperturbed and lush with greenery all around and you’ll find beaches here that are so secluded and breathtakingly beautiful that you’ll never want to bid them goodbye. Our trips are very interactive, fun, personal and they keep you on your toes all the time.

Korlai fort is an example of a Portuguese fortification which is
situated in the town of Korlai, Maharashtra, India. It was built
on an island named Morro de Chaul that intends to guard the
way to Revdanda Creek. By building this fort, the Portuguese
were able to defend their province that stretched from Korlai
to Vasai. The length of the fort is about 2828feet with an
average breadth of 89feet. The hill-top is bastioned and is also
surrounded by a parapet. The enclosed wall is 5feet 3inches
tall and for guns, it has 305 battlements. There are in all seven
bastions, and each is named after a saint. Some of them are São
Pedro, São Filipe, São Inácio, São Diego and São Francisco. It
has a large three-mouthed rain-water cistern. The church was
built in the 1630s for army use and remained functional till
1728.
