A secret downhill trek through a dense forest takes you to an all natural tidepool by the ocean. The tidepool is situated around huge stone volcanic rocks resembling a stone forest. The trek begins on top of a hill with a Birdseye view of the ocean below you. The trek lies in a private property.
This isnβt just any trek. The Stoneforest Trek was found, explored, and named by us. The trail lies within private land and leads to something truly magical β an untouched natural tidepool by the sea.
It starts from the ringed coastal hills of Vengurla, where youβre greeted by a breathtaking birdβs eye view of the ocean below. Pure Konkan magic.
As you descend, the distant roar of the ocean gets louder. The forest wraps around you like a secret β dense, wild, and alive. Sunlight barely makes it through the thick canopy.
Itβs a short 20-minute trek but has its challenges. Donβt be fooled β your knees will feel it. But hey, even 65-year-young adventurers have done it with ease. Thatβs how thrilling (and doable) it is.
Now for the showstopper β the natural tidepool. Surrounded by sculpted rock formations on all four sides, it feels like nature carved out a private pool just for you. Thereβs a natural gate that lets the waves crash in, keeping the experience raw and alive.
Youβll often spot vibrant intertidal life here at low tide. If youβre lucky, we spotted a man-sized turtle snorkelling near the pool on drone!
Timing is everything. The tidepool looks and feels different depending on the tide. Our coordinators will guide you to visit at just the right time for the best experience.
Want to dip into something wild and rare?
Come trek to the tidepool.
Natureβs waiting, just off the beaten path.
Apart from the trek being in private land- This terrain is not marked, and there are no signboards or barriers. The forest is thick, timing is crucial, the sea can be treacherous and the tidepool can turn dangerous if you donβt time your visit right. Mobile signals are patchy at best.
Thatβs why going with a trained local KTC field guide isnβt optional β itβs essential.
