We Plan, You Pack!
We Plan, You Pack!
📍We operate across Sindhudurg, Maharashtra, India- at the edge of ghats, forest, and sea.
KTC began with a simple idea: to share the magic that has always existed here in a meaningful way. Konkan is a land of pristine beaches, misty ghats, and flavors that linger. But this isn’t just about beautiful places. It’s about connecting you with the heart of Konkan- its people, its stories, its soul. We’re not tour guides; we’re your local friends, eager to show you our favourite spots and introduce you to the people that make this place unforgettable.
Come travel with us, and create memories that stay with you long after the journey ends.
As we proudly say in Malvani, “Yeva Konkan Aplach Asa”.
Welcome to Konkan Travel Club. Welcome home.
Konkan Travel Club started in Mochemad — a small village on the South Konkan coast in Sindhudurg. Prateik Gawade, the founder, grew up here. He did not just see the place, he understood how it works. The seasons, the land, the people, and the limits of each.
But this did not start from knowledge alone. It started from a gap. Konkan had potential, but tourism here was either shallow or transactional. It showed places, but did not build any real connection to them. There was no clear culture of how to experience the region.
KTC began as a response to that. We started taking small groups into these spaces with more intent. Not to cover more places, but to experience them in a way that made sense to the land and the people.
That is still what we do.
We run group trips, guided experiences, beach & wilderness camps, with handpicked stays — all designed around the seasons, the land, and the local context. If you want to see Konkan as most people don’t, this is where to start.
Konkan Travel Club creates immersive, experience-first journeys across the Konkan coast and the Western Ghats. We focus on nature, culture, people, and seasons.
Not checklists.
Travel today is fast, crowded, and predictable.
We believe it does not have to be that way.
A place is not meant to be rushed through.
It is meant to be felt.
We built KTC to give people access to that version of Konkan. Not the one in the brochure. The one you only see if you slow down and know where to look.
Too many trips are designed to cover more, not understand more.
The same routes. The same viewpoints. The same stories.
Nature becomes a backdrop.
Locals become service staff.
We knew Konkan had more to offer than that.
We plan the trips. You show up.
Every itinerary is built around the season, the terrain, and the size of the group. We don’t run the same trip in monsoon and winter and call it the same experience. We also don’t overload the schedule. There’s always room for things to unfold on their own.
Our team does a village expedition every month — new routes, new stays, new things we didn’t know about. What we find, we bring back into the trips.
We’re transparent about what’s included and what isn’t. No hidden fees, no commission-driven choices for stays or activities.
We do not sell packages.
We design experiences. This is our Craft.
✔ Small groups with intentional pacing
✔ Experiences over sightseeing
✔ Local knowledge & Storytelling over scripted guiding
✔ Low-impact travel choices
✔ Transparency in planning and pricing
✔ Trips that evolve with season and context
Every detail is chosen with care.
Every journey with KTC is carefully crafted to go beyond the ordinary.

Konkan has six seasons. Each one changes the land completely.
In summer, the orchards are full. Mangoes are being picked, cashews processed, the coast is warm and quieter than you’d expect. In monsoon, the ghats turn green overnight, waterfalls appear on hillsides that were bare a week ago, and the rivers run fast. By winter, the coast comes alive — the sea is calm, the festivals run deep into the night.
We design trips around these shifts. There’s no “generic Konkan trip” at KTC.
At KTC, there are always hidden surprises that don’t make it to the itinerary.
One thing you cannot miss in Konkan is its quiet, heartwarming hospitality.
The true Konkan experience goes beyond untouched landscapes. It lies in everyday village life, shared meals, and living traditions. Rural communities here offer deep learning. From traditional wisdom and local food practices to ways of life that gently shift how you see the world. Especially for young minds, this exposure can be grounding and enriching.
Our homestays are not just places to stay.
They are invitations into Konkan homes.
You eat what the family eats.
You hear stories, observe rhythms, and experience Malvani cuisine as it is meant to be shared.
Whether you choose a homestay or a more comfortable retreat, each stay is rooted in culture.
You leave with memories, connection, and a sense of contentment that stays with you.
Immersive Experiences: At KTC, we don’t just string together locations for sightseeing. We specialize in Tourism Design. Every journey is carefully researched and thoughtfully sequenced. Activities, routes, and experiences are planned around the season, terrain, and local context.
No two trips feel the same. And none feel rushed. With us, travel moves beyond sightseeing into something immersive and memorable.
Local Experiences: The true essence of Konkan lies in its people, lifestyle, and cuisine. We have carefully selected local stays and homestays that offer the authentic Konkan experience. Check out our Google reviews to see what our clients have to say: https://g.page/konkantravelclub?share
Ever-evolving Experiences: No KTC trip is static. Our team conducts village expeditions every month to discover new routes, stays, and experiences across the Konkan hinterlands. Each journey evolves based on season, feedback, and on-ground learning. Konkan continues to surprise us. And we let that discovery shape every new experience we design.
Conscious Business: What do we mean when we say we’re a conscious business? It means we take conscious efforts to ensure ethical practices, fair partnerships, and low-impact travel. We are mindful of how tourism affects communities and ecosystems, both today and in the long run. Your very trip with KTC helps us get closer to our goals.

Where do I even begin, I visited a part of Konkan a few years back & I was sure that I will come back again & now when I got a chance to visit it again I had a completely different experience from the last time I was here. Man what a memorable time I spent during my stay here from witnessing a local play (Mahashivratri special from night to dawn) to food trails to hidden gems (beaches, a lesser known sea fort & a natural pool). The best part of the tour was definitely our homestay & the warm hospitality we received was a very humbling experience. The last couple of days have been overwhelming. Thank you so much Konkan travel club for hosting us & making us a part of your rich culture & lifestyle. See you guys again very soon 🙂
Where do I even start about my trip with Konkan travel club...Me and my husband had the most amazing 2 days exploring offbeat Konkan with them. If it would not have been for Konkan travel club we would have never ever experienced the rural, local authentic konkan side. The experience of staying with locals, eating their local delicacies, experiencing unexplored hidden gems of Konkan is what only Konkan travel club can make you experience. Prateik is a perfect host, very curious informative, knowledgeable and helpful. We were confused of how to, where to start he helped us bring clarity shared us a perfect itinerary as per our tastes and preferences and we were sold. We have made some amazing connections with Aji and Ajoba of the house we stayed at. Highly recommend them. If visiting Konkan then, what are you waiting for just go ahead and contact Konkan travel club.
It was a 4 days tour and we enjoyed it thoroughly..the secret beach, secret island, the homestay, Daji and his family, malvani food everything was fabulous and smoothly planned by KTC .

Not just a trip but a therapy! Didn't know lockdown would hit again and will be all isolated, but my gut feeling said this trip should be a now or never calling. And yes, random plans work and it worked again this time but with Konkan Travel Club. These guys chalked out our plan in a Span of two days and we booked it with them.. it was just 2 of us and all 3 of them pampered us like anything. With zero network, this break was most awaited. Right from Daji kaka's lip smacking food to Onkar, Richa and pratik's hospitality everything was bang on! Secret locations, endless shopping and the overall vibe made me forget lockdown blues. I'm glad I took this trip.... I don't regret being caged now and once the curfew is off I am again going back here..To come back with more stories...Keep it up guys!!! 2
