Madh Island Cycle Trail
Nov 13 '21 | 07:00 AM (IST)
Event Information
Surrounded by Arabian Sea on three sides, this sleepy island is home to many a hidden story, tales and legends. What started as a cluster of fishing villages in North Konkan, Madh became an important political acquisition for the European and Maratha powers. The tale of conquests, strategy, religion, beliefs, ghosts stories, smuggling and political tactics are present in its labyrinths.
Our tour pays an ode to these lesser known facts and unknown stories. Our cycle tour starts from the Versova Koliwada, and old fishing village is an integral part of the Madh story. Armed with your personal cycle you go to Madh on a short ferry ride across: that’s where your adventure begins.
Enroute listening to stories about Marathas, Portuguese and British history, you will ride past charming villages, the home of legendary goddesses, Hero stones, an ancient forts, palatial mansions and end your tour with a quick brunch on the beach side You’ll also be taken to a point which almost looks like the World’s end.
Stories, legends, folklores, history, food, all this while getting some exercise on a Sunday morning, whats not to like?
So sign up and see a different side to this city.
