PACKAGE OVERVIEW
Konkan Coastal Trail is a nature-first coastal journey through a region that has deliberately stayed under the radar.
Unlike Goa or other developed beach destinations, Konkan offers wide, empty shores, fishing villages, simple living, and food that reflects the land and sea.
This itinerary is designed for travellers who enjoy road journeys, local flavours, and landscapes that feel real rather than curated.
Days are paced gently, allowing time for beaches, village walks, and coastal drives without trying to turn Konkan into something it is not.
Ideal for couples, explorers, and travellers seeking authenticity over polish, this package delivers a raw, honest coastal experience — where luxury comes from space, silence, and scenery.
