Recommendations

Aside from the itinerary, I would recommend visiting the Dudhsagar Waterfalls, a stunning waterfall located in the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary. Additionally, a day trip to the nearby state of Karnataka can be a great way to maximize your trip. Mumbai and Bangalore are the nearest major cities and can be easily accessed by train or flight.
