We had amazing time with ktc team.
Starting with Ganesh, Pranav and his mom, Toraskar Tai, Raju Dada and his wife and ofcourse Pratik for all the coordination activities.
My toddler enjoyed all the activities that were planned. All the recommendations for food and cultural immersion at Yashwant gad fort were educational and fun filled. We wanted to teach our daughter about beach flora and fauna. Thanks to the way our accommodations were planned we saw turtle nestings, their flipper marks on the beach and 2 baby turtles too.
At Pranav's home, we also enjoyed his animal friends. Toraskar Tai's wild beans bhaji and special shevga flowers aamti with time tested combinations of food just gave us immunity boosters.
कोकणी माणूस फक्त साधा आणि भोळा नाहीये तर तो हुशार, लाघवी, निसर्ग ला जतन करणारा आणि माणसाला माणसा सारखा वागवणारा आहे. ज्या प्रकारे प्राण्यांची काळजी घेतली जाते ह्या भागात खूप भावणारी आहे.

An amazing and exciting experience with #KTC..... We had booked a three days two nights tour with KTC and since the beginning of the first day, we were left in awe... The first day began with the Redi fort (Yashwant fort) which was an easy climb with lots of history lessons on the way ( all thanks to their representative guiding us through). The view from the top was breath taking - the blue lagoon and the paradise beach. Untouched beauty of nature glistening right before our eyes. We then ventured to the beaches and experienced the most private, beautiful and clean beach ever. The stay arranged by them was in a neat and clean beach front property where we had lunch and went back to see the God's island which was another relishing experience. The day ended with a sumptuous dinner. Next day we had a wonderful home stay at Vengurla. The amazing home cooked food and their hospitality was very good. We started the day with visiting a private beach hidden in the nature. Another unforgettable experience for us. It looked like the nature had striven to make a tiny tide pool for us there. The rest of the day was for resting and rejuvenating and enjoying the walk to the nearby beach to capture yet another sunset. The third day we took our leave from our wonderful host Pranav and went for scuba diving at Tarkarli. It was indeed a lovely experience for both of us, my husband and myself. We enjoyed every bit of it and thank #KTC for all their efforts in organizing this personalized tour for us. We will certainly explore more of the Konkan belt with you.... Wishing you all the best for your endeavor to make the beautiful konkan a little more known to the world...

Some trips are just vacations, but others become stories you’ll tell for a lifetime. Our four-day adventure with Konkan Travel Club (KTC) was nothing short of magical—an experience filled with warmth, professionalism, and breathtaking moments that left us spellbound.
From the moment we joined the tour, we felt more like family than travelers. KTC’s team (Pratik, Pranav and Ganesh) welcomed us with genuine smiles and an enthusiasm that set the tone for the days ahead. Their deep love for Konkan’s hidden gems, rich culture, and stunning landscapes was evident in every detail they planned.
Beyond their meticulous planning and deep local expertise, KTC’s biggest strength is their warmth. They don’t just organize trips; they curate experiences with heart and passion. Their professionalism ensures seamless travel, but it’s their love for Konkan that makes the journey truly special.
As we said our goodbyes, we weren’t just leaving with bags full of souvenirs but with hearts full of memories. Konkan Travel Club didn’t just show us places—they gave us a piece of Konkan’s soul to carry forever.
If you’re looking for more than just a trip—if you want a journey that touches your heart, awakens your soul, and leaves you longing for more—then KTC is the only way to explore Konkan
Regards,

Cheers to the all KTC Team....
Recently we had an educational Konkan trip organized by KTC, and it was an enriching experience from start to finish. The trip combined elements of learning, exploration, cultural immersion, fun, thriller etc which made it stand out as a perfect blend of education and leisure.
It was a perfectly plan trip by KTC..
The subject experts provided were so knowledgeable...
Our tour guide Kishor Da, was such a nice personality. He mixed with all our students as their friends and was kin in doing the things timely and making available all the things which were needed. Thanks to Darshan Da and Ganesh Da also for their efforts. They all manage the crowd of 37 people very nicely....
Tasting the authentic Konkani cuisine—rich with coconut, spices, and seafood—was an absolute highlight. It was an experience that appealed to all the senses and deepened our appreciation of the region's unique culture.
The educational aspects like a jungle safari, bird watching, night trail, mangrove walk, exploring underwater diversity were so perfectly planed and provided with knowledgeable experts of each area.
Overall, the Konkan trip organized by KTC was an unforgettable experience that broadened understanding of the region’s history, culture, and natural beauty. It wasn’t just a vacation; it was an educational journey that I will cherish for a long time.
I will give 10/10 to KTC
And will suggest everyone must experience hospitality by KONKAN TRAVAL CLUB 💐💐💐👌👌👌
