Maanvi Gagroo is planning a road trip from Mumbai to Goa this time. “I have some friends coming from the UK and one of them is visiting India for the first time. I’m so excited to show her my city and so much more,” she tells us. But because it’s a short trip for her friends, the plans of taking a road trip from Mumbai to Goa seemed feasible. “I will take her around the Konkan belt and food will be a big part of our trip.

I am visiting monasteries, dancing around the campfire on their local songs,” she shares.
