You can reach Phansad Wildlife Sanctuary (Raigad District) through two routes from Mumbai. Either you can travel south on the Mumbai-Goa National Highway and turn right at Nagothane towards Roha, continue further till Telekhar and turn left to get to the main entrance of the park near the Village of Supegaon; OR you could get to Alibaug and travel South along the coast through the beautiful Revdanda Fort and close to the Korlai Fort and along one of the most beautiful coastal roads around Mumbai on the road to Murud, a little after the famous Kashid beach turn left at Nandgaon to reach the Main Entrance.

Phansad is an extremely interesting for all nature lovers through out the year (though it might be quiet difficult in the rainy season). The forest is probably the only one where a lot of Western Ghat species can be seen so close to the coast.
