Category: Uran / Raigad Coast, Maharashtra

Uran is Mumbai’s most overlooked coastal neighbour — a fishing and agricultural town in the Raigad district, across the Dharamtar Creek from the city, where mangroves, mudflats, and the Arabian Sea create one of the most biodiverse coastal ecosystems near any Indian metropolis. Part of the Konkan belt, Uran’s culture is shaped by the Agri and Koli fishing communities whose food, language, and relationship with the sea are entirely distinct from anything the city offers. An hour and a half from Mumbai and a world away from it — come for the Konkani cuisine, the birdwatching, and the quiet that the city’s loudness makes valuable.
