NH 48 / National Highway MaharashtraHistory & Significance
Chiplun was historically controlled by the Bijapur Sultanate and later the Marathas, who built Govalkot Fort to defend the Vashishti River trade route. The town became strategically important when the Konkan Railway (completed 1998) chose it as a major station, ending its isolation and connecting this lush coastal town to Mumbai in under 5 hours by train.

Places to Visit in Chiplun
Parshuram Temple
A hilltop temple dedicated to the sixth avatar of Vishnu, located at the top of the Parshuram Ghats — the dramatic ghat road descending towards the Konkan coast is one of NH 66's finest sections.
Govalkot Fort
A Maratha riverside fort on the Vashishti River, accessible by boat — the fort walls and bastions are largely intact and the river views from the ramparts are picturesque.
Vashishti River Boat Ride
The wide, mangrove-lined Vashishti River is best explored by local fishing boat at dawn — the birdlife, mirror-calm water, and forested banks make it a serene experience.
Marleshwar Temple
A remarkable Shiva temple 60 km from Chiplun set inside a cave beside a waterfall — the route through the Western Ghats forest to reach it is as impressive as the destination itself.
Guhagar Beach
A clean, largely undeveloped crescent beach 50 km from Chiplun, backed by coconut palms with no commercial beach infrastructure — one of the Konkan coast's best-kept beaches.
