Wet & Wild: Monsoon Adventure Trip

With our expert guides, we’ll embark on an exciting journey through this breathtaking terrain, hiking along scenic trails and marveling at the stunning natural beauty that surrounds us.

As we traverse through the Western Ghats, we’ll witness the monsoon in all its glory – from the gentle patter of raindrops to the thundering roar of waterfalls. 

On the final day of our trip, we’ll head to the tropical coast and soak up some sun. We’ll relax on sandy beaches, swim in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea, and indulge in some delicious seafood.

Which is the best season to travel in Konkan?

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.

How much time before do we need to confirm the tour?

To make all the arrangements, we recommend a confirmation at least a week before travel.

Note that, in the tourism rush months of November, December, January, March, and April- stays may run out, and hence we need to plan the trip months earlier.
