Useful Tips

If you have more time, we highly recommend visiting Kanakeshwar Forest on the way from Kashid to Murud in order to appreciate the natural beauty and nature walks. If you have less time, skip the Murud-Janjira Fort or Alibaug Beach and opt for spending more time at whichever location you prefer. We suggest packing bathing suits, towels, and sunscreen for the beach locations and carrying plenty of drinking water. Reservations are strongly recommended for dinner at the Radisson Blu Resort and Spa.
