On the first day of Mumbai to Goa Konkan motorcycle tour, we will start our ride early in the morning by 7 am from Mumbai to avoid the city traffic. After riding for an hour or so we will get out the Mumbai city and ride towards Konkan trails via Alibaug. Alibaug is a beach town located further down from Mumbai towards Goa via Coastal Highway or SagariMahamarg.

While riding from Alibaug to Murud we will cross Kashid village, the 30 KM drive is scenic, and small winding roads pass through beautiful small villages. The vast stretches of the beach would probably be the only best thing to see in Kashid. Some beach areas are deserted with no humans in sight. After riding from Kashid we will reach Murud, which is our destination for the day. Murud is known for a notable beach, and its proximity to Janjira off the coast of Rajapuri, a sea fort. Murud-Janjira is the local name for a fort situated at the coastal village of Murud, in the Raigad district of Maharashtra, India.

It is notable for being the only fort along India’s western coast that remained undefeated despite Dutch and English East India Company attacks.

After breakfast, we will start our second day of the Mumbai Goa Motorcycle tour through Konkan Trails. After riding from a few km we will board our first ferry ride of the tour.

The river Savitri enters the Arabian Sea from the town of Harihareshwar. Towards the north of the town is the temple of Lord Harihareshwar, said to have been blessed by Lord Shiva.
