Drive the Lanes to Surf the Waves: The Scenic Mumbai to Goa Road Trip

As you watch iconic travel-genre movies like 'Dil Chahta Hai' or 'Madgaon Express' or even 'Journey Bombay to Goa', a sudden breeze reminds you of the coast, the sand in your feet wants to take you somewhere, and you want to go there. Where better to go than Goa, a place best experienced after a long drive, where you can unwind and feel the water in the palm of your hand as your toes sink deeper into the sand. And Heritage Village Resort & Spa at Goa will help you do just that!

Why a Bombay to Goa Road Trip?


What's more iconic than Goa, you ask? It's the Mumbai to Goa trip that has been central to movies and a favourite among road trip enthusiasts. Imagine the thrill of driving along coastal roads, the majestic Western Ghats, and scenic countryside.
For such mesmerising experiences, start your trip by connecting to either the NH66 or the NH48. The scenic NH66 passes via Chiplun, Ratnagiri and Sawantwadi, offering stunning views of the Western coast of India; while the NH48 passing via Pune, Kolhapur, and Belgaum remains smoother, faster and has a good highway for a speedy drive. This approximately 600 Km road trip of 10-12 hours is sure to remain with you for a lifetime.

Jo Bhi Dil Chahta Hai on Your Trip


On your way over to Goa, take a few breaks while you take a look at Alibaug's many beaches, including the Kashid Beach, known for its clean white sand and clear blue waters. Witness the spiritual wholeness of the Marleshwar Temple at Ratnagiri or gulp the seasonal Alphonso Mangoes (Haapus) while walking to the town's historical forts or beaches. Next on the way is Kolhapur. Maybe 'Kolhapuri Chappals' that originated here, might strike a bell. Kolhapur is also known as the ‘Dakshin Kashi’ (Kashi of the South) for the similar experience it offers. The Kolhapuri cuisine will leave you huffing and puffing, and entirely fazed in a food coma with unique and spicy dishes like Kolhapuri Misal, Tambada Rassa, Sukke Mutton and many more.
As you drive along, let the scenery take over you as you try local foods and explore the vast culture that you get exposed to.
