Undiscovered locations for Kokan tourism, surrounded by breathtaking scenery.
Yes, the men behind Kokani Ranmanus Ecotourism, Prasad Gawade, a young nature lover who loves to explore the outdoors view of kokan.
He identifies as Kokan native Ranmanus. The term “ranmanus” refers to an indigenous cultivator and farmer. He takes great pride in being kokani.
Before initiating Kokani Ranmanus Ecotourism, he was employed, but one day he decided to quit with a small sum of money to launch Kokani Ranmanus Ecotourism.
A bold attempt has been made by social entrepreneur Prasad Gawade to explore the expansive golden crescent beaches with mysterious tunnels and forts.
According to Prasad, he quit his own engineering career to become self-employed and help Kokan. In addition to the numerous activities we may partake in in Kokan, such fishing, red rice, cashewnuts, and Alphonso, he states that ecotourism will be crucial to the growth of Kokan.
With his social media activities, he had initiated the notion of group tourism, drawing in trekkers and visitors from all over India, not only from Maharashtra, to experience authentic life amidst the verdant surroundings of nature, where one might be impacted and have their perspective on the world altered.
He enables visitors to witness Kokan’s other side, which is home to a network of backwater lakes, rivers, and lagoons that run parallel to the coast.
While our ancestors used to depart, he ensures that people feel as though they are living in the golden age.
One thing to note is that the residents live in roof-style homes similar to “kaularu,” which have additional ayurvedic benefits. The floor of the home is composed of cow dung, which offers special advantages for the body as it sleeps.
As previously mentioned, he is not your average businessman looking to maximize profits; instead, he is developing Konkani Ranmanus ecotourism to support the local economy and reduce the need for the people to relocate to larger towns in search of work.
He was teaching the farmers about eco development instead of refinery, mining, and deforestation of jungles, as we understand there is an ongoing issue surrounding the Kokananar refinery.
Konkan is also included as a Unesco World Heritage Sanctuary.
