KONKAN COAST
November 19-25, 2011. Motorcycle ride from Goa to Mumbai (~800 Km). Alone.
I took the overnight train to Goa (Madgaon). Then rode my motorcycle back to Mumbai along the Konkan coast following only the coastal back-roads. I had to cross numerous rivers by ferry/boat with the bike. Spent a night below a bridge on the Karli river, then onto the sea-forts of the Konkan coast (Sindhudurg, Vijaydurg, Devgad, Anjarle/Gopalgad, Bankot, Purnagad, Janjira, Padmadurg-Kasa, Korlai). The trip took 5 nights and 6 days. The isolated parts of the Konkan coast are delightful. There are lush forests, majestic windswept fortresses, winding roads, mountains, isolated beaches, fantastic malvani seafood in small villages…
