Dajipur
A half-day stop for the Bison sanctuary and Gagangiri Math, not a base. One night if you want a safari and a campfire; otherwise pass through.
Dajipur is a small village in South Maharashtra, known for the Bison Wildlife Sanctuary and the Gagangiri Maharaj Math. The area is forested and quiet, with a government-run jungle resort and good campsites. Most visitors come for a wildlife safari or a spiritual stop, then move on to Goa or the Konkan coast.
