Mumbai To Goa: February 2024

Mumbai To Goa: February 2024

550 kilometers. 9 days. 8 ferries. 5 districts. 2 states. 1 incredible region: the Konkan. After the high-altitude madness of the Himalayas, I thought I was ready for a different kind of challenge. Life, like a relentless climb, threw a lot my way – COVID lockdown, and then just a really

Devarayanadurga

I joined a group called Pedal in Tandem for a ride to Devarayanadurga. Never heard of the place before, but I thought climbing a hill would be interesting this time. The good thing about this group is they transfer your bicycles to the starting point. That means you skip all
