Dungoba Devrai, Nivti Fort & Golden Rocks Beach Trail

Trail Highlights:

  • Sacred Dungoba Forest โ€“ Where Nature and Spirit Coexist
  • Nivti Fort in its Ruins & its hidden viewpoints
  • Golden Rock mountains by the Beach

Tucked between the mountains, riverbed, and ocean, the sacred Dungoba Devrai remains untouched for centuries. Locals revere this ancient forest as the home of Dungoba, the nature deity. It stands as a powerful symbol of harmony between people and nature.

Join KTCโ€™s field experts on a journey through this sacred land. Walk through the dense forest, where every tree and trail carries a legend. Visit the hidden shrine of Dungoba and learn how locals protect this site with deep-rooted customs and rituals. Feel the stillness that fills the air, a reminder of the age-old bond between humans and nature.

From the forest, climb to Nivti Fort, a forgotten stronghold with stunning views of the Arabian Sea. Explore its ruins as our experts share stories of its strategic importance and battles that shaped Konkanโ€™s history.

End the trail at Golden Rocks Beach, where golden-hued rock formations rise along the untouched shoreline. Walk through this surreal landscape, witness the changing colors of the sea, and experience a side of Konkan few get to see.

This isnโ€™t just another trek. With KTCโ€™s expert guides, every step reveals hidden stories, forgotten traditions, and the deep spiritual energy of Konkan. If you’re looking for an offbeat Malvan experience, this trail offers the perfect mix of nature, history, and cultureโ€”far from the usual tourist paths.

Once a year, the god is appeased with an offering of chicken sacrifice followed by a forest feast. This forest feast is a common practice in Konkan across sacred nature shrines and is called ‘Wadval‘.

The Wadval feast is more than just a mealโ€”it is a celebration of unity and gratitude. Villagers and participants join together to cook, share, and honor the balance of nature.
