Pune to Murud Janjira – Complete Guide
Murud is a coastal town in the Raigad district with a long beach lined with casuarina trees, and its most famous neighbour is the Janjira sea fort, a massive basalt stronghold on an island off Rajapuri. The fort was held for centuries by the Siddis of Janjira and withstood many attempts at conquest, including by the Marathas, and today it stands as one of the most impressive sea forts on the Konkan coast, with high walls, bastions and a huge freshwater well within.
The visit combines history and coast. You reach Rajapuri jetty by road, take a sail boat across the water to the fort, explore the ramparts and return, then spend the afternoon at Murud beach and the nearby Kashid. At about 170 km from Pune, Murud can be a long one-day trip, though a night stay makes it relaxing. A private cab is practical because the jetty, the beach and other sights lie in different directions.
The route from Pune. From Pune, the common route goes via Paud, Tamhini Ghat, Mangaon and Roha to Murud, or via Pune–Pen–Alibaug and the coastal road. Both routes include ghat sections or coastal roads that need care. Our drivers choose according to weather and your plan.
Places to visit on the Pune to Murud Janjira trip. Janjira Fort – A basalt sea fort on an island, reached by a short boat ride from Rajapuri. Murud Beach – A long beach with calm waves, casuarina trees and sunset views. Padmadurg (Kasa Fort) – A smaller island fort built by the Marathas, seen from the shore. Ahmedganj Palace – The old palace of the Nawabs of Janjira with a view of the sea. Rajapuri Jetty – The boat point for Janjira, with simple stalls and fishing activity. Kashid Beach – A white-sand beach about 25 km north, often combined with Murud. Garambi Waterfall – A seasonal waterfall in the hills near Murud for monsoon visitors.
Best time and travel tips. The ideal season for this trip is October to May; boat to Janjira depends on weather. Boats to Janjira depend on tide and weather, and may be stopped in rough sea or monsoon, so check before you travel. Wear shoes with grip, as the fort has uneven stones. Carry water and sun protection. Life jackets are provided on boats; use them. Weekends are crowded, so reach the jetty early.
Murud serves fresh fish thalis, prawns, bombil, kombdi vade and solkadhi. Vegetarian options include Konkani thalis and simple dal-rice meals at family-run eateries.
Planning your day. With a travel time of about 4 – 4.5 hours, an early start between 5:30 and 7 in the morning keeps the day comfortable, especially if you wish to return the same night. For a relaxed experience with meals and darshan or sightseeing, an overnight stay is often more enjoyable than a rushed one-day trip. If your group includes children or senior citizens, mention it while booking. We then add comfort breaks and avoid long continuous driving.
Which cab should you choose for Pune to Murud Janjira? With a distance of about 170 km (approx.), Pune to Murud Janjira is long enough that seat comfort and boot space matter, so we recommend choosing the vehicle carefully. A Swift Dzire or similar sedan suits up to four passengers, an Ertiga is ideal for five or six with bags, and the Innova Crysta gives the smoothest ride for elders and long ghat sections. Families who prefer a high seating position can choose a Scorpio. Groups of 12 to 17 can book a Tempo Traveller or Force Urbania, and larger parties can hire a mini bus or coach of 20 to 45 seats.
What to know about Pune to Murud Janjira taxi fare. Fares vary with the vehicle category and with how many hours and kilometres your plan needs.

Toll, parking and state tax are normally extra at actuals, and entry tickets or puja charges at the destination are not part of the cab fare. Send us your plan on WhatsApp and we will reply with a transparent fare.

Keep your tickets, bookings and ID proofs in one pouch, carry some cash and a power bank, and keep a spare change of clothes in the car. Avoid carrying valuables that you do not need, and tell the driver about any health needs so that he can plan rest stops and nearby facilities on the way.
