The Konkan is a coastal strip of Land bounded by the Sahyadri hills on the east, and Arabian Sea on the West.

Every state in the Konkan Offers Tremendous Variety - History, Wildlife, Adventure, and Sun-Kissed Beaches, Sea shore beauty, Historic Forts / Sea forts, Temples, Caves, Hill station, etc

Unlike Goa, many of these virgin stretch of beaches has not been tainted with huts, shacks and vendors all about. Rest and relaxation are the key to this offbeat resort. You can amble along the peaceful beach, stroll through the village or wade across the shoals of a nearby creek. Boat rides upstream are also offered, sailing past swaying palm tress and then jungles.

While traveling make it a point to sample culinary delights of the region. The West coast of Maharashtra, is blessed with coconuts, mangoes, jackfruits, cashews, kokum (a sweet-sour fruit) rice and a variety of pulses. Fish is available in vast varieties and seafood is in abundant supply. All these ingredients find place in the traditional and exotic Konkani food. Be it the mild, naturally fragrant vegetable mixture served with local papads, or a spicy-hot fish and meat curry with dry roasted coconut-onion paste gravy - Konkani food is a gourmet's dream come true.
