The trek is a 4-hour round trip and is suitable for beginners. Once you reach the top, explore the ancient fort, climb the steep staircases, and take in the stunning views of the surrounding valley.
Start your day early with a 7-hour drive to the beautiful beach town of Tarkarli. Take a scuba diving lesson from a PADI-certified instructor and explore the underwater world of the Arabian Sea. You can spot vibrant corals, schools of colorful fishes, and even shipwrecks! After a thrilling experience, spend the evening exploring the stunning beaches and local markets.
On your final day, head to the Kundalika River for a thrilling rafting experience. This river is known for its grade 3 rapids and is perfect for both beginners and experienced rafters. Your 2-hour rafting trip will take you through stunning landscapes and scenic natural beauty. You can also indulge in other activities like zip-lining, kayaking, and river crossing. After a heart-pumping adventure, head back to Mumbai.
If you have more time, you can add visit places like the Elephanta Caves, Sanjay Gandhi National Park, and Marine Drive. If you have less time, you can skip the scuba diving and spend more time exploring the beaches in Tarkarli. Make sure to carry comfortable clothes, shoes, and a waterproof bag for your valuables during rafting. Always check the weather condition and opening times of places before planning your itinerary.
