Overview

Experience the delight of Velas' Kasav Utsav in 2024 with Trek Nation! 
The beautiful state of Maharashtra boasts a sprawling 720 km coastline, stretching across Konkan, Thane, and Ratnagiri, as well as Sindhudurg districts. This coastal paradise attracts a myriad of marine creatures, although the exact species and numbers remain largely undocumented. Despite the lack of detailed studies, historical records from 2000-01 reveal the presence of Olive Ridley turtles, who frequent Maharashtra's shores for breeding purposes. Alongside these majestic creatures, other species such as Green Turtles, Hawksbills, and Leatherbacks grace the coastal landscape. While basic information about turtles, their diet, and distinguishing features from tortoises and terrapins is readily available online, experiencing the wonders of these creatures firsthand with Trek Nation adds a unique and unforgettable dimension to your adventure.
