'''Konkan''' is the coastal division of Maharashtra state in India. It stretches North-South from the city of Mumbai (Bombay) in the North, to Goa which borders the southern tip of Konkan.

Regions

Officially, the region contains six districts -
  • Thane
  • Raigad
  • Ratnagiri
  • Sindhudurg

  • Mumbai suburban — the last two have been covered in the Mumbai city article.

    In reality, the entire stretch from Thane to Mangalore forms the historical Konkan region, with some definitions including the entire western coast of India, from Gujarat to Kerala in it. But the official name of Konkan has been assigned only to the Maharashtrian part. It is an approximately 40 km wide strip of land between the Arabian sea and Deccan plateau (Ghats).
