Yogesh: It’s an amazing drive experience between Pune and Goa. Satara is fantastic. The roads are clean and are in fantastic condition. The only thing you need to remember is take a right from hotel Kaveri once you pass Kolhapur, this will take you through the Amboli Ghat, which has some amazing nature trails. The route is safe for travelling during the day as well as night.

Pitstop 1: Kaas Lake

Pitstop 2: Amboli Ghat

Where to eat: Kanase Dhaba

And if you feel like staying back overnight: The Tubki Resort

Vineet Kumar: Excellent hotel. Very vear to Patnem (2 mins walk), Palolem (1.5 km). Good value for money. Other visitors were mostly from Russia and UK. Breakfast was average but very good WiFi and prompt reception is very big plus. Highly recommended for families to try for 2-3 days stay rather than 1. Cover beaches like Patnem, Palolem, Rajaram, Agonda. Still Patnem is the best and very close to the resort. And yes the resort is very safe.

Rachit Mittal: It's probably one of the best place to stay in Tawang, its very close to Monastery, but little far from town centre (We still manage to walk, so not that far). They have decent rooms with heater (which is a must). They have a restaurant and they serve food in room as well, one needs to order 20-30 mins in advance, they are prompt to call and remind you for that.
