Mahashivratri at offbeat Konkan! Village fairs, midnight celebrations, and an age-old live theatre art form of Dashavtaar - this is how we are celebrating Maha Shivaratri. We are taking you to Mochemad, a quaint little village nestled in the beautiful Konkan for an offbeat celebration of Mahashivratri. Very much rural and secluded from the crowded locations in this belt, we have curated the perfect itinerary for anyone who wants to explore the rawness of this lush green region. From bathing in a lagoon to feasting on unlimited Surmai, live Konkan like never before.

I was looking forwarded to do K2S since long and finally it could happen with Pune travel club. I must say, it was one awesome experience which would not have been great without the support of Vamsy and other co-travellers on the Trek.
Thank you Pune travel club and Vamsy for such an awesome experience. I look forward to have some more adventure with you. ��

It was my first ever trip and camping.... And people at Pune Travel Club made it really special for me. Considering the heavy rush for New Years I understand a few things might go here and there but overall I just loved it. Camping at Kashid... Beachside Campfire... Next day Beautiful scenary at the beach and water sports.... It was a special start of the New Year for me. Thanks a lot Pune Travel Club team.
Also I really want to mention about Shraddha.Her nature is extremely Sweet and friendly and makes everyone really comfortable. She is gem of person.... All the best and keep it up 😊

PTC is the reason I have become passionate about traveling, I have done 3 trips with them in one month. I am not going to stop traveling with them. Treks are so well organized and the trek leads are so helpful and understanding. Traveling with PTC is now no more about choice, it's a habit now.
Thank you PTC!!
