Things to Do questions
How does Ratnagiri connect with Ganpatipule?
Ganpatipule and its famous seaside Ganesha temple are only about 25 km north, a 45-minute coastal drive, so the two pair naturally. Tarkarli, Malvan, and Kolhapur are also within an easy circuit.
When is the best time to visit?
October to May for the beaches and forts, with April and May best for the Alphonso harvest. The monsoon greens the coast beautifully but limits beach and boat time, so we plan around it.
