The expedition

Overview

This is the Konkan the highway never shows you. For five days we leave NH66 behind and ride the old Sagari Mahamarg, the narrow coastal road that hugs cliffs, cuts through coconut and mango groves, and crosses creeks on village vehicle ferries. We stop at sea forts, lighthouses, cliff-side temples and near-empty beaches, eat fresh Malvani and Kokani food every night, and spend a full day at Tarkarli and Malvan before riding home through the Konkan heartland.

Coastal Roads. Ferry Crossings. Endless Konkan. One Unforgettable Ride.

Route: Mumbai → Murud → Dapoli → Guhagar → Ganpatipule → Tarkarli → Chiplun → Mumbai. About 1,100 km in all, with 5 ferry crossings where the bikes ride on board: Mumbai–Mandwa, Agardanda–Dighi, Bagmandla–Bankot, Dabhol–Dhopave and Tavsal–Jaigad.

Best season: October to February.

Know before you go

  • Creek ferries run only in daylight and can pause in rough seas; the ride captain may change the order of stops on the day.
  • Coastal village roads are narrow, with cattle, fishing nets and sand on bends. We ride in daylight only.
  • Mobile network is patchy between Dighi and Ganpatipule. Carry some cash for ferries and small eateries.
  • Day 2 starts early to make both ferry crossings comfortably.
  • Days 7 and 8 are full highway days of 230–260 km each on NH66.
