Kashid is a great getaway during the New Year’s {four hours drive from Mumbai}, especially with your girlfriends – it’s quiet and serene. The beaches are cleaner and not as crowded as the ones in Goa. Murud Jhanjira is a sleepy fishing hamlet of a village, with a magnificent fort in the middle of the sea {read our guide to Murud here}.
For Kashid, we suggest check out the ‘Lets Camp out’ who organise amazing camps at the hillock which is nicely flanked by the Phansad wildlife sanctuary and the Arabian Sea {with its own secluded beach} at a walking distance.
For Murud Jhanjheera, we highly recommend Gulzar homestay {perfect for a group of four people}. The beautiful farm is located between the Arabian Sea and the Salav Murud highway against the lush backdrop of the Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary. Here the food is included, and you get a bungalow to yourself.
