Why different sources give different numbers

Why distances vary

  • Route. Some destinations can be reached by more than one road, such as the NH66 coastal highway or routes via Mahad or the Mumbai–Pune highway.
  • Starting point. Mumbai is large, so distances from the north and south of the city differ by several kilometres.
  • End point. "Shrivardhan" or "Tarkarli" can mean the town centre or a beach or hotel several kilometres away.
  • Ferries and shortcuts. A ferry can shorten the trip to Alibaug, although services stop in the monsoon. See is Konkan open for tourism.

Treat the figures above as a planning guide and confirm your exact route with your hotel or a maps app.

Driving tips

Five things to plan for

  • Leave early, ideally before 6 am from Mumbai, to avoid weekend traffic on the highway.
  • Allow extra time in the monsoon, when rain can cause waterlogging and landslides on hilly stretches.
  • For long drives to the south, consider breaking the journey. See Konkan road-trip routes.
  • Download offline maps, because signal can be patchy on coastal roads.
  • Short on time? See weekend getaways from Mumbai and Pune.
