Kankavali: Getting There and Savdav Waterfall

For planning your trip to Kankavali, there are two specific points to bear in mind: the Konkan Railway stops in the town, and National Highway 17 passes through Kankavali. Nearby, Savdav Waterfall is located in the village of Savdav in Kankavli Taluka. This gives you the option of planning both your arrival and an excursion into hilly, densely vegetated surroundings. If you are looking for a hotel in Kankavali, you can first consider whether you are choosing the town primarily as your arrival destination or whether you would also like to set aside time for Savdav. This lets you bring travel and excursion planning together as you decide on your stay.

Getting to Kankavali

The Konkan Railway stops in Kankavali. If you are travelling by train, check the timetable for your travel dates to find suitable connections. National Highway 17 passes through the town; road names and conditions can change. Check current route information before setting out by road. These are two different ways to plan your journey: for rail travel, the connection on your chosen day matters; for road travel, check the current route. This lets you plan the right way to get there first, independently of whether an excursion to Savdav will be part of your trip.

Savdav Waterfall as an excursion destination
