Beyond travel, we are building a community—one where connections extend far beyond the journey, rooted in authentic Malvani cuisine, heartfelt local hospitality, and a commitment to responsible tourism.
Squeezed in the lap of the Western Ghats and the Arabian sea, every season in Konkan has something unique to offer. Summer is for exploring hidden beaches, water sporting, scuba, scenic mangrove boat safaris, fort trails, wild fruit trails, and more. Winter is for everything summer, plus a major mood for camps and a season of Jatras in Konkan. You get to witness the traditional Dashavtar live theatre in a Jatra. Monsoon is very underrated here. You could witness some of the best treks and waterfall trails in the monsoon. The Malvani cuisine also changes to adapt to seasonal variety and even the beaches hit different every season.
We are located in Sindhudurg, Maharashtra- southern part of Konkan.
We often travel in our free time, but to truly immerse yourself in the magic of Konkan, we recommend making time to travel with us. Our experiences are designed to go beyond the usual, offering curated tours that reveal the region’s hidden beauty.

South Konkan (We operaete in Sindhudurg) is less commercialized compared to North Konkan (Alibaug, Kashid, Murud, etc.), which is more accessible from Mumbai and has mainstream tourist spots.
