The Konkan Coast implies the beautiful coastline that stretches across Maharashtra, Goa, and Karnataka’s western coasts. It is surrounded by the majestic Western Ghats on the east, while on its west lies the spectacular Arabian Sea. The region is blessed with lush green landscapes, pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage, making it a good idea to book a Konkan tour package from Veena World. Right from sacred temples to ruins of regal forts, you will find a wide variety of attractions on the Konkan coast.

Experience the Best of Konkan

Your Konkan trip itinerary must include the following:

Ganpatipule: This is a quaint little town nestled along the coastline of the Arabian Sea. It is largely popular for folklore related to Lord Ganesha which makes it a key part of the Konkan darshan trip. Here you can find a 400-year-old Ganpati temple situated at the base of a mountain. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ganesh incarnated as a Swaymbu or self-originated idol. There is also a British-era Jaigad Fort and a lighthouse in Ganpatipule that you may visit.

Alibaug: A Konkan holiday package would feel incomplete without a trip to Alibaug. There is a long list of sightseeing sites here, starting from the Magen Avot Synagogue to the Alibaug Fort. It is a great place for beach lovers, as you would find some of the most famous beaches of Konkan here, like Kashid Beach, Korlai Beach, and Nagaon Beach. You would get to try amazing seafood and enjoy water sports at the beaches of Alibaug.

Ratnagiri: Lying on the shores of the Arabian Sea, a visit to this port town should be a part of most Konkan tour packages. Ratnagiri is widely renowned for being a huge exporter of Alphonso mangoes. You can find a number of beaches, ports and lighthouses in this town which elevates its overall beauty. It has the Sahyadri Range on the other side and is home to ancient forts like the Jaigad Fort. There is no dearth of sightseeing spots or beach activities in Ratnagiri.

Karnala Bird Sanctuary: Located about 60 km from Mumbai, this is quite a popular spot for trekking and bird watching. There are more than 140 species of resident birds at this sanctuary, along with about 45 species of migratory birds. Multiple rare birds have also been spotted at the park, including Malabar Trogons, Three-toed Kingfishers and Ashy Minivets. You can also spot antelopes, langurs and wild boars at the Karnala Bird Sanctuary. Karnala Fort built in the 11th century can also be found in the sanctuary, making it a must-visit part of your Konkan trip.

Devgad: If you want to spend a few days amidst peace and quiet, then you should consider going on a Devgad tour. Here you would find a Fort at the confluence of the Arabian Sea and Devgad Creek, which provides awe-inspiring views of the sea and sunsets. Popular attractions of this town include the Kunkeshwar Temple beach and Shri Dev Rameshwar Temple, apart from the Devgad Fort.
