Breif Description Of The Program : The Biking route will cover picturesque beaches, villages, Hillsides greenery around coastal route of Maharashtra. Participants will enjoy Coastal Route traversing through scenic seaside villages with endless stretches overlooking the sea. Ride on the sea with your Bikes loaded on a ferry and feel the sea breeze showering you with salted kisses. The coastal route is worth an experience. From roads running parallel to beaches to ferry crossings to an ever-changing landscape — that, at every 50 km, shifts from high cliffs to beach-side drives to isolated hilltops barren with red laterite soil — the coastal Maharashtra bike trip has all highlights. For an intrepid, there is more to explore on this route than just the scenic beauty.
