Murud
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Murud; add a night if you want a beach sunset and easy access to Janjira Fort.
Murud is a small coastal town in Raigad, Maharashtra. Its main draws are the Janjira sea‑fort, a quiet beach and a few heritage sites. A day covers the beach and a boat trip to Janjira; a night adds a relaxed sunset and local seafood.
