MumbaiLonavalaMumbaiAlibaug BeachAlibaug: an easy, flat coastal run
Open road that turns coastal, with no climbing to worry about. Three hours of riding and the sea at the end — the gentlest ride out of Mumbai.
107 km ~3 hrs Oct – Mar
MumbaiKashid BeachKashid: the quieter beach
A little further than Alibaug and much emptier at the other end. Coastal road, no climbing worth the name.
128 km ~4 hrs Oct – Mar
MumbaiIgatpuriIgatpuri: up the Kasara ghat
Out of Mumbai on the Nashik highway and up the Kasara ghat to a town of lakes, forts and monsoon waterfalls. A classic Sunday ride in the rain.
133 km ~3 hrs Jun – Feb
MumbaiMalshej GhatMalshej Ghat: monsoon roads
The most demanding ride on this list: tight mountain sections and a monsoon season that's both the reason to go and the reason to be careful.
139 km ~4 hrs Jul – Sep
MumbaiDiveagarDiveagar: the slow Konkan coast
Down the Mumbai–Goa highway to Mangaon, then small coastal roads to a quiet beach among areca and coconut groves. Stay the night and eat the local fish.
194 km ~5 hrs Oct – Mar
MumbaiMahabaleshwarMahabaleshwar from Mumbai
Longer than the Pune approach and with more highway before the hills. The ghat section at the end is the reason to go.
233 km ~6 hrs Oct – Mar
MumbaiTarkarliTarkarli: the long Konkan run
Most of the Konkan coast in one long ride, ending at Malvan's clear water and Sindhudurg fort. Break it at Chiplun and take your time.
487 km ~11 hrs Oct – Mar
MumbaiGoaGoa from Mumbai: the coast run
The classic. Long coastal highway with ghat sections in between — too far to rush, which is the point of doing it over a few days.
585 km ~13 hrs Oct – Mar
