"Mumbai's little Goa"

Manori Tourism

Manori beach, along with Gorai beach is a growing favourite among back packers and people who just want to cross over to the peace and quiet of the country side for a while.

One day off from work. No time to travel too far. Low on petrol and just enough hours to pack up and leave for a refreshing day out. Manori offers much more than just a day's getaway to the beach. The two kilometer long beach in Manori is the nearest to the hustle and bustle of the city of dreams, yet far away from it. Manori is home to fishing communities, and a culture very reminiscent of Goa, the whole area given ample shade by a carpet of coconut and cashew trees that line the beach, hammocks tied to them, making you want to switch to your vacation side immediately. Other than the picnickers, the spiritually inclined will find Manori truly satisfying with places like the two Nath Sampradaya Ashrams, The Samudreshwar temple and the Global Vipassana Pagoda to go to.

Manori Beach

Manori is a home to a picturesque beach that lines it. The fringed beach makes for a fantastic picnic spot for all Mumbaikars. It's famous for it's all night parties, which attract a younger crowd. A relaxing place for a little getaway. Clean Beaches and a lesser crowd as compared to other Mumbai beaches. Beautifully maintained private cottages are lined along the sea, which is rented out for a comfortable stay.

Restaurants and Local Food in Manori

Owing to the Goan culture that predominantly exists in Manori, the cuisine is mostly East Indian and sea food.

Summers in Mumbai are prey to the terrible humidity levels, making it uncomfortable to travel even short distances. But since Manori is a shaded, beautiful beach, it becomes even more irresistible during the summers, where a dip can cool you off. The best time, however would be any time other than summer, where you can lie on the sand without the fear of getting sun burnt.

- Make sure you book your hotel/resort rooms in advance and make sure the rooms in your name are there on the day you will be present. Many hotels in Manori are known to play with their customer book (Read More)ings to cope with the crowd on busy days. Beware of resorts asking you to give up your cottages for smaller, stingier apartments.
- The beach can be really lonely during some week-days. Advisable to carry own food on weekdays especially at morning or afternoons.
- Carry lots of sunscreen! If not for spiritual purposes, go with family and friends, and carry along some games !
