Goregaon, Raigad
Do a day trip from Mumbai or Alibag; see the Mallikarjun Temple and nearby forts, then return same evening.
Goregaon is a small town in Raigad district, Maharashtra, on the Mumbai‑Goa highway. Its main draws are the hill‑top Mallikarjun Temple, Panhalghar Fort and the nearby university campus. All sights cluster within a few kilometres, so a single day is enough unless you want to hike the forts more slowly.
