Discover Tillari & Doda

(Pune - Pune all inclusive)

3 Nights 4 Days

Tillari (Tillari Ghat and Forest) – Maharashtra-Goa Border

Tillari is a beautiful forested region located on the Maharashtra-Goa border, in the Sahyadri range. It’s famous for its dense evergreen forests, rich wildlife, and scenic waterfalls, especially during the monsoon. The area gets its name from the Tillari River, which also feeds a dam nearby – the Tillari Dam, an important water source for the region.

The Tillari Ghat road is quite thrilling to travel on with sharp turns, steep climbs, and mist-covered views, especially in the rainy season. It's a paradise for birdwatchers, herpers (reptile lovers), and nature photographers. Animals like leopards, barking deer, Indian gaur, and even wild boars are sometimes seen here. You’ll also find unique frogs, snakes, and insects during night trails.

Doda (Dodamarg Region) – Sindhudurg District, Maharashtra

Doda is a local name people often use when referring to the Dodamarg region, located in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra. It's a valley area with lush greenery, rivers, and forests, nestled between the Western Ghats. It lies close to Goa and shares much of its tropical beauty.

Dodamarg is known for its peaceful rural charm, rich biodiversity, and farming culture. The region is also home to wildlife like Malabar civets, giant squirrels, hornbills, and sometimes wild elephants that migrate from nearby forests. The climate is humid, and the region stays green most of the year.
