Along The Konkan- Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka (Travel Guide)

Beginning from Dahanu, north of Mumbai, up to Mangalore in Karnataka, the Konkan region is a tendril on the western edge of the country encompassing the coastal fringe of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka. Easy to overlook, this slim coastal strip is a treasure trove for anyone unfamiliar with this region. Wedged between the mountains and the sea, the unique landscape is scored by beaches, rivers, forested hills, cliffs, islands and low-level plateaus.

Immerse yourself in the architectural grandeur of magnificent forts and the serenity of religious sites. Take a journey on the Konkan railway, one of the most picturesque train routes in India with mountain tunnels, sparkling waterfalls and tall bridges. View the magical, endless Arabian Sea lapping gently on palm-fringed beaches that are ideal for swimming, sun-bathing and a variety of thrilling aquatic sports. See the different flora and fauna of the region in the wildlife sanctuaries and national parks and partake of the delicious food.

This beautiful and highly visual guidebook will touch upon the history of Konkan, focusing on the prominent towns and cities, tourist attractions and also on its distinct cuisine. We also learn of INTACH's research and conservation work in the area.

The evocative pictures and text take us on an exciting journey, showcasing the natural splendour and cultural diversity. And so, this book is both, an adventure and a trip into the past.
