Leave Mumbai before sunrise to avoid city traffic and make the most of daylight on the Konkan Coast; aim to fuel up, check tyre pressure and luggage, and ride steady on NH66/Mumbai–Goa route.
Stop for a hearty breakfast at a popular coastal café or highway restaurant in the Alibaug/Mandwa area — options include local cafés for masala omelette, pav bhaji, or a filling Maharashtrian breakfast; most cafes open by 7:30–8:00am. Confirm opening times for specific cafes.
Explore Revdanda Fort (easy stroll along the fort ramparts by the creek) or take a short boat+walk to view Murud Janjira Fort (boat trips typically run 9:00am–4:00pm) — both give a strong coastal-fort history vibe and great photo stops.
Have fresh Konkani/Malvani seafood or a vegetarian thali at a well-known beachside eatery in Diveagar or Shrivardhan; most local restaurants serve lunch 12:00–3:00pm and offer regional specialties like fish thali, pomfret, and sol kadhi.
Relax on Diveagar Beach (open 24/7) — gentle sand, local coconut vendors, and a relaxed vibe; good short walks and sunset position if you decide to linger.
Enjoy Konkani/Malvani dinner (fish curry, rice, crabs if available) at a recommended local restaurant; most dinner service runs until 10:00–11:00pm — confirm closing time when you arrive.
Grab a light breakfast at your hotel or a local beach café (poha, vada pav, eggs) and check tide/sea conditions if you plan more beach time; most hotels serve breakfast from 7:00am.
Arrive at Ganpatipule to visit the famous self-manifested (swayambhu) Ganapati temple and the adjoining clean beach; temple hours typically start around 5:00am and remain open until evening (confirm darshan schedule).
Short detour to Jaigad Fort and lighthouse for cliff-top coastal views and the Jaigad port area; forts/lighthouses usually accessible 9:00am–5:00pm but check local entry rules.
Lunch in Ratnagiri: try local specialties such as kingfish, bombil (bombay duck) fry or the thali at a recommended coastal eatery; restaurants commonly serve lunch 12:00–3:00pm.
Check out Ratnagiri Fort for sea views, and browse Alphonso mango stalls/shops if in season — fort timings generally 9:00am–6:00pm, markets open all day till evening.
Settle into your Ratnagiri accommodation, wash gear, and do a quick mechanical check on the bike (chain/lubrication/tyres) to prepare for the next day’s longer ride.
Have an early breakfast and depart for the Malvan/Tarkarli stretch; early departure helps you reach water-activity windows and avoid midday heat on long stretches.
If not visited previously stop briefly at Jaigad Fort for coastal vistas; otherwise proceed to Tarkarli for water activities (snorkeling/scuba) which usually operate 8:00am–4:00pm and should be pre-booked in peak season.
Enjoy snorkeling or a glass-bottom boat trip to the clear reefs and Tsunami Island area — operators typically run trips from about 8:30am to late afternoon; book in advance and check tides & safety gear.
Continue riding south and cross into Goa aiming for Madgaon or a South Goa beach town; expect coastal roads and some slow towns, so allow time for stops and fuel.
Arrive in Goa, check into a hotel in Madgaon/Colva or nearby — use this evening to relax and prepare for either a short Goa stint or the return ride the following day.
Dine at a recommended Goan restaurant for local dishes like vindaloo, xacuti, or Goan fish curry; many restaurants in Goa stay open late (9:00–11:30pm) but confirm closing time.
Start before dawn to cover the long return (~580–650 km depending on exact route) safely; plan multiple fuel and rest stops and avoid riding fatigued — this is the longest day of riding.
Plan a longer lunch and rest break around Ratnagiri/Poladpur depending on your progress — many highway restaurants serve lunch 12:00–3:00pm and offer simple, hearty meals to refuel.
Take a 15–30 minute walk, rehydrate, and top up fuel; avoid continuing if you feel fatigued — safer to extend the trip with a short overnight stop than risk riding tired.
Reach Mumbai late evening (arrival depends on traffic and stops). End of ride: unpack, clean bike, and do a post-ride check. If arriving very late, consider stopping short and resuming next day.
Have a simple dinner at home or a nearby restaurant and rest. If you completed the loop, celebrate safely and log your ride notes and expenses for records.
