💎 Why we love it ?

The Northern part of the coast up to Goa is called The Konkan Cost. Witness the unexplored beauty of coastal Maharashtra on this 600km long road trip. Follow the Coastal Highway, the road which runs parallel to the coast, having unexplored and untouched beaches, temples & forts adjoining the sea, ghats wherein one gets the amazing view of the sea, bad roads, excellent roads, ferry crossings, bridges, etc. Roads covered with coconut trees and offer an ever-changing landscape at every 50km, shift from high cliffs to beach-side drives to isolated hilltops barren with red laterite soil.
