Departing from Pune, the trip includes scenic drives, cozy beachfront camping, and vibrant group activities. Highlights include mesmerizing sunsets, a live performance, and a special midnight celebration for Christmas and New Year. Velas is a small coastal village situated along the Konkan coastline of Maharashtra, about 220 km from Mumbai and 190 km from Pune. It lies to the north of Dapoli and south of Harihareshwar, nestled between verdant hills and the Arabian Sea. It is part of the Western Ghats eco-sensitive zone, which makes it rich in biodiversity and a serene location for nature lovers.
Wake up to an exhilarating sunrise trek, enjoy outdoor beach games, and explore the historic Bankot Fort. Delicious meals, great company, and unforgettable coastal views make this trip a perfect getaway to refresh and reconnect.
Kokan, a stunning stretch of coastal Maharashtra, offers an untouched paradise for those who seek a raw and refreshing connection with nature. Far from the crowded tourist hubs, Kokan beach camping gives you the opportunity to experience the charm of the Arabian Sea, warm Konkan hospitality, and the rich cultural soul of coastal Maharashtra, all wrapped in the simplicity of beachside living.
Unlike commercial resorts, camping here allows you to pitch your tent right on the sand, under starlit skies. By evening, bonfires crackle, local Konkani music fills the air, and freshly prepared seafood from local kitchens brings alive the essence of this coastal land. Whether it's fried pomfret, spicy sol kadhi, or simple chapati-bhaji, each meal tastes richer when eaten with your toes dug into the sand.
