Luxury holidays in Sindhudurg
A remote and rugged district on India’s Konkan Coast, Sindhudurg is sought for its unspoiled beaches, pristine forests and crumbling island forts. Most travellers passing along Maharashtra’s coastline tend to set down in bustling Goa, often unaware of its quieter northern neighbour. Frankly, this has been good news for Sindhudurg, where the locals prize and protect their culture and wildlife, particularly their lush mangroves and stretches of sacred forest, which have been designated as a reserve for Indian bison and leopard.
When to go
The best time to visit is from October to February, when the weather tends to be warm and dry. Things get hotter from March to May, and the monsoon usually arrives in June, lasting until September.
