Getting there

While the train connectivity is not very good, the arrival of the Konkan Railway has ensured that this area is now more accessible.

The road access is very good:

* 160 km from Mumbai
* 135 km from Thane
* 110 km from Navi Mumbai (Vashi)
* 170 km from Pune (via Mulshi)
* Around 170-180 Km from Pune (via Khopoli - Mumbai Pune Expressway)

Buses:

* Buses plying regularly between Mumbai central - Murud halts at Kashid
* Buses plying regularly between Thane - Murud halts at Kashid
* Frequent service are available for Alibaug from Mumbai, Thane. From there buses are available for Murud which halts at Kashid village


Route from Pune:

The Mulshi route does not have the best of roads. If you go via Khopoli, the distance is more or less the same and you get to use the expressway for better part of the journey. The route goes like:

Pune -> Express way to Mumbai (ask them for Khopoli exit, as you will pay lesser toll money) -> Keep cruising along the expressway till the Ghats -> In the Ghats, locate the Khopoli exit (it comes after the second tunnel) -> Reach Khopoli and from there take the road to Pen (may be marked as Alibaug as well) -> Once in Pen, pass through the town to reach Mumbai - Goa highway -> Keep moving towards Alibaug -> around 1-2 km before Alibaug, take a left on the highway, to a road for Murud or Revdanda -> From there, keep following the road towards Murud at every intersection -> Around 35-37 km after Alibaug (approx 20 km before Murud) you will reach Kashid
