Unwinding at 80 kmph

 These are stressful times for all of us. The pandemic has affected people and enterprises alike and never before like now, people are actually uncertain about their futures. Layoffs from jobs, shutting down of businesses are just some of the stories we are used to listening these days and it has been impacting people’s mental health severely. Although the lockdown has been lifted completely nationwide, people are still hesitant to leave their homes (for good reason) and being trapped inside four walls is not doing any favours to their mental well-being anyway. Hence, it is imperative for us to unwind every now and then to relieve ourselves from the stress and function productively.  

One of the great ways to unwind is to go on a long drive that extends for hours and to the outskirts of the city. For folks living in Mumbai and Pune, one of the great places they are blessed with is Alibaug. Located just 96 kms from Mumbai and 142 kms from Pune, a drive to the destination will take your mind off of any stressful time you might be going through. Not just a drive but if possible, stay at any of the resorts near murud janjira that you will find on the way or look for the top ten resorts in Alibaug if you are looking for a more than decent stay. 

Preferably, choose night time for your ride as the temperature will be kinder to you and besides, it is absolute bliss to drive on long, lonely, and dark roads after hours. Put on your favourite playlist of songs, get your friends or family to join you and head out on a trip that will relax and rejuvenate you all the way.  

Once at the destination, the unwinding never stops. Hit the many beaches the town of Alibaug is famous for and catch sunrise from its shores. Stick around a little while and you can enjoy breakfast at the many shacks. If you crave for adventure then do go for water sports that are available at virtually every beach. Unwinding is guaranteed when you are gliding above the waters at less than 80 kmph on a parachute as you take in the natural sights of the open sea. 

The purpose of an unwinding trip is to forget about work but if you cannot miss it, then are several resorts with conference rooms and workstations. Maybe working at a serene locale might just be less stressful for you but we will let you be the judge of that. 

 

Most of Alibaug is a small town with narrow lanes cutting through its entire landscape but a little exploration will take you to its open roads on which you can go for long drives. Be sure to check out the many white sand beach resorts that you will find here and if not a stay, then do enjoy dinner which is famous for its delectable seafood.  

 

Unwinding in a fast car is great but always remember to put on a seat belt and drive safely.
