Leaving the pink palaces of Rajasthan for the Konkan gateway means trading desert dryness for the humid, busy energy of the Mumbai region. Panvel sits at the foot of the Western Ghats, a handy base for the beaches of Alibaug and the hill station of Lonavala, and it lets you skip the crush of South Mumbai.
Panvel has no airport, so every route runs through Mumbai: fly in and finish by taxi or suburban train, or ride a long overnight train and change in Mumbai.
