Maharashtra · 7h drive · 4.2

Ratnagiri is the Alphonso mango capital of India — the city itself sits on a coastline of 16th-century sea forts (Ratnadurg, Jaigad), the freedom-fighter Lokmanya Tilak's birthplace, and quiet golden beaches. April–May is peak Alphonso season — orchards open for tours and direct sales 50% below Mumbai retail. 330 km from Mumbai (7h), best as a 3-day Konkan circuit with Ganpatipule and Sindhudurg.
