Catch a beautiful sunset at this unspoiled beach while enjoying a coconut water or a snack at one of the nearby shacks.
Visit the **Ratnadurg Fort**, a 16th-century fort used by Shivaji that offers stunning views of the sea. The fort has an ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati and a serene lake. Next, visit the **Thibaw Palace**, which was the residence of Burmese king Thibaw Min during his exile in India. The palace displays Burmese royal memorabilia. End the day by relaxing at the picturesque **Mandvi Beach**.
Start your day by visiting the **Murud Beach** where you can indulge in water sports like banana boat and jet skiing. After some fun, head to **Panhalekaji Caves**, ancient rock-cut caves with Buddhist artifacts like stupas and chaityas. End your trip with a peaceful visit to **Keshavraaj Temple**, situated on a hill amidst lush greenery, offering a scenic view. The temple hosts a holy pond filled with crystal clear water. Take a dip in the pond for a refreshing experience.
If you have extra time, take a detour to **Jaigad Fort** on day 2 or visit the cascading **Dabholi waterfall** on day 3. If you have less time, skip the Prachin Konkan Museum and the Thibaw Palace. It is best to book accommodation in advance as Konkan can get crowded during the monsoon season. It is advisable to use private or rental cars for transportation as public transport can be limited in Konkan.
