Kiss the beaches, climb the hills and hug the clouds.

From Mumbai to Koyna hills. Via the unspoilt beaches on the Konkan coast. A 4-day road trip with spur-of-the-moment detours, searches for a place to stay, warm hosts at homestays and much more...

Day 1
On the first day, after many stopovers and change of plans, we ended up at Guhagar, though we had booked a hotel at Chiplun. Staying with a hospitable local family was the highlight of the day.

Guhagar is about 300 km from Mumbai and about 200 km from Pune. Clean beaches are its USP.
