Summers get the best of us. It’s about time we pack our bags to a cool and beautiful place and enjoy a relaxing vacation, isn’t it? Not that you need a reason to go on vacation, but a normal summer after a two-year hiatus is desperately calling for it. However, the first rule to enjoy a relaxing vacation is that you don’t get bombarded with people when you finally reach your destination (trust us, the battle is real!). To help you choose a destination that is beautiful, serene and not crowded with tourists, we’ve rounded up some lesser-known but attractive destinations in the Konkan region that should be on your list this year.
1. Ganpatipule
Ganpatipule is often thought of as a religious destination, but this small village makes a perfect weekend getaway with white sand beaches and clear waters. Ganpatipule and Tarkarli are destinations that are usually visited together. Both places have a rustic beach charm and will captivate you with their simplistic beauty.
