Bordi Beach Camping
Bordi, Dahanu taluka, Palghar district
If you are looking for orchard-side beach camping up the coast from Mumbai, Bordi is a great choice. The village in Dahanu taluka is chikoo country, and many camps sit inside working orchards a short walk from a calm, clean beach. The pace here is slow: hammock afternoons, seafood dinners, bonfires and a sky that actually shows stars. Bahrot caves and the Dahanu fishing harbour make simple day outings. Gholvad station is barely 4 km away on the western line, and the coastal highway keeps the drive under three hours from Mumbai.
Why go
- Camping among chikoo orchards
- Calm black-sand beach and clean water
- Bahrot caves and Dahanu town nearby

Things to carry
The beach is calm but stay within familiar stretches after dark. Orchard camps mean insects, so carry repellent, and respect the working farms: do not pluck chikoos without asking.
